A beautiful family home with exceptional views to the Islands of Jura and Scarba

Yealand House is set into a hillside with breathtaking panoramic views out to the Sound of Jura, Gulf of Corryvreckan, Scarba and Mull. This beautifully designed split level detached family house, built in the 1980’s, is close to Crinan Basin where the Crinan Canal joins the sea.

Welcoming and comfortable, this much loved family home has a mix of antique and country-style modern furnishings creating a lovely relaxed atmosphere. The highlight is the spacious living room with it's double height ceiling, minstrels' gallery and stunning views to Jura and Scarba. Guests can relax in the comfortable three piece suite in front of a wood burning stove with access to doors that lead out onto a wonderful deck balcony where summertime drinks can be enjoyed while watching glorious sunsets and the gentle movement of the boats. For rainy days there is also a large television, DVD, radio, record player, library of books and games.

There are three bedrooms two are double bedrooms and one bedroom with twin beds. The main bedroom is an upper self-contained annex bedroom with en suit toilet and shower with views to the front and back of the house and its own living room. The second double bedroom has a viewing point out to the Islands and has an en suit toilet and basin. There is also a separate bathroom with toilet.

The kitchen is well equipped with a cooker, microwave, dishwasher, fridge, freezer, dining table and chairs. There is also an added utility room with washing machine and clothes dryer. The front porch can also be used as a breakfast room and guests can make the most of the morning sunshine.

For recreation guests can make use of the table tennis table and darts board in the double garage of the house.

Yealand House is situated above Crinan Basin and you can visit the Crinan Hotel for freshly caught seafood or lunch in the bar. There is also a coffee shop with fresh homemade cakes and a gallery of local artists work. Watch the yachts sail in out of the Atlantic, stroll along the shoreline or canal paths or take the path to Crinan wood (a remnant of Scotlands' own rainforest) and enjoy the panoramic views to the Isle of Jura, Mull, the river Add and Duntrune castle.

Great view
This property is a bit of a challenge to find but we enjoyed our stay. We appreciated the “welcome” gift of bread, butter, sausage, jam and milk. It was our “hub” and we ventured to many of the local restaurants, the locks, and enjoyed seeing the coos and sheep. We did not have hot water for two days and a toilet seat broke. Only one towel for each person and no extra toilet paper.

Fabulous quirky home in a fantastic location.
Clean, comfortable, warm and very well equipped property with the most amazing views from the lounge across to the Sound of Jura. Yealand House is ideally located for exploring the Crinan Canal, the amazing Kilmartin Glen, Knapdale Forest and Taynish Nature Reserve and beyond...if you can pull yourself away from the views! Very thoughtful 'welcome' items left in kitchen.

Good holiday at Crinan.
Comfortable house, with great views out to the islands. Very well equipped, and a plentiful supply of hot water. The door locks need a bit of lubrication as the keys were hard to turn, and one of the hall heaters flashed a light all through the night.
