Winterton - Bed & Breakfast in Argyll & Bute
Crinan Ferry, Lochgilphead, PA31 8QH, Argyll & Bute
Scotland,
Reino Unido
A remote and rugged setting with much comfort indoors. Stephanie and Adrian are a creative, well-travelled pair and their house is packed with warmth and interest, including local art for sale. Be welcomed by home cooking, sink into the views from the sun lounge, sleep soundly in luxurious, very quiet bedrooms. Breakfasts with a delicious twist will set you up for a wonderful day walking in the footsteps of the first Scots through this fascinating history-steeped landscape. Explore the beach, sea loch and woods, discover 'Britain's most beautiful short cut by sea' and from there sail to the Corryvreckan. You won't have to go out again in the evening, as the house is licensed and Stephanie and Adrian's dinners are well worth arranging too.
