Ivybank - Self-catering house in Argyll & Bute
Tighnabruaich, PA21 2EJ, Argyll & Bute
Scotland,
Regno Unito
Walk straight in to a hallway with wooden floors, lots of wellies waiting for you and hooks for coats – this is grand walking country. Then into the library which has a gorgeous mix of fiction, non-fiction, local interest, nature books and children's books – pick something interesting and settle here or take it to the sitting room where you'll find comfy armchairs, sofa and wood-burning stove.
The open-plan kitchen is well equipped and has basics for cooking in the cupboards along with locally-roasted coffee. You eat at a round table facing the views. On warm days you can open the doors to the terrace and garden where birds are trilling away and you may spot a red squirrel.
Two doubles are up one staircase and there's a separate double up the other: bright and pretty with well-dressed beds; the bathroom has botanical soaps and views over the garden. There's an extra loo and utility room downstairs. Walks start from the door.

Local points of interest from Rebecca Wexler:
Punti d'interesse locali da
Rebecca Wexler:
- You are 10 minutes drive from the peaceful swimming beach at Ostel Bay. It is a good place to bird watch. The walk to the beach is enjoyable in itself. Sit under the trees at The Bothy cafe and if you are lucky, a robin may take crumbs from your hand.
- Open the door and walk! Left takes you round the coast, and you will pass a thundering waterfall. This is part of The Cowal Way.
- If you feel like pampering yourself, Portavadie Marina is only 5 miles away. It has an excellent restaurant too. Worth a special visit, is the ancient rainforest accessible here. It is full of mosses and lichens, gnarled trees and bird song.
- There are plenty of places to eat and drink in and near Tighnabruaich; If tea and cake, or brunch is what you fancy, walk to Five West-the community run cafe and art gallery. For a delicious curry go to Fyne Raja. The famous Oyster Catcher pub is nearby.
- Tighnabruaich is very proud of its award winning Argyll coffee Roasters. Their coffee is sold locally and also enjoyed in the cafes. After sampling the coffee, visit Argyll Botany at Kilfinan forest and stock up on naturally scented soaps and lotions.
- Looking out at the sailing boats passing by, may make you want to join them! Carry Farm runs an excellent sailing school for all ages in the summer months. When you hear the Waverely Paddle steamer approaching, go and enjoy the bustle as it docks.
