The Old House - Self-catering in Argyll & Bute
The Old House 2,
Arichastlich, Glen Orchy, PA33 1BD, Argyll & Bute
Scotland,
Regno Unito
An extremely secret hideaway for two or up to six. You’ll feel miles from anywhere – the night skies are gloriously unpolluted – yet the sleeper train from London chugs into Bridge of Orchy, 4.5 miles away.
This former sporting lodge sits next door to John and Erica’s house and has been sensitively renovated along green lines, with solar panels and a Micro-Hydro scheme which produces electricity from the stream. The spacious sitting room has a wood-burner for when the evenings draw in and you’ll find all you need in the kitchen plus fresh eggs from the happy free range hens.
Wander the extensive grounds to discover sculptures and installations, explore Glencoe and Glen Etive, enjoy views to the islands from the top of Ben Udlaidh. There’s a secure shed for bikes and a pretty garden; unwind in the evenings on the decking with a sundowner.
