Stable is a spacious open plan self-catering holiday cottage with elegant spiral staircase and full length windows framing a beautiful view and sunsets over Loch Awe. Argyll with its lochs, hills and mountains to climb is one of the most scenic areas of Scotland and Stable is a good base for exploring Oban, Inveraray, Glencoe, Loch Lomond, mid-Argyll where you’ll find Crinan Canal and historic Kilmartin Glen, and the beautiful peninsula of Kintyre. Built from a converted farm steading, Barn (slps 2) and Stable are semi-detached and situated next to the farmhouse. Stable has been given 4 stars by the Scottish Tourist Board. The kitchen is well equipped with electric hob and oven, microwave and refrigerator/freezer. There is a washing machine in Stable with a tumble dryer available and outside clothes line close by which guests are welcome to use. Sleeping up to 4 Bedroom 1: twin (2 x single) or zip-linked double beds Bedroom 2: twin (2 x single) or zip-linked double beds The toilet/shower room is upstairs. Children under 5 This holiday cottage is not recommended for children under 5 years due to the open spiral staircase but if you think this will be acceptable, we are happy to provide a cot and highchair. Patio & Garden Overlooking Loch Awe the patio with picnic table, garden bench and stand for a disposable barbecue enjoys afternoon and evening sunshine. Loch Awe Loch Awe is 25 miles long and the longest loch in Scotland. Surrounded by forests, farms, hills and mighty Ben Cruachan . The Farm Traditional blackface sheep and luing cattle are farmed on 2,000 acres in this beautiful area of Argyll and guests are welcome to walk and explore the farm: \- to fish or enjoy a walk to the loch shore \- to the viewpoint on An Sidhean (fairy/enchanted view) for a picnic and amazing views of Loch Awe \- to old ruined settlements abandoned nearly 150 years ago \- on a nearby forest walk (circular walk coming back via the farm) \- to our many waterfalls. The ‘Wee’ waterfall is less than 5minutes walk from Stable. Fishing on Loch Awe Fishing for trout and pike is by permit and these are available online. Nature and wildlife: Red squirrels and Pine Marten come to the feeder by Barn, though the Pine Marten are generally night visitors. Red Deer come into the fields in the evening especially during the colder months and they often take a short cut by Barn when returning to the hill in the morning. When travelling home in the evening you will probably see some small Roe Deer by the roadside. During the spring and summer Loch Awe is also home to many Osprey which swoop down to take fish from the loch. Kintail Birds of Prey is nearby. Eagles, dolphins and porpoises are best seen by joining an organized tour from Oban, Easdale or Crinan. Exploring Argyll and the west highlands of Scotland: Some ideas, walks and wonderful scenery within easy reach on a day out: \- Oban and the distillery \- Islands of Mull and Iona (ferry from Oban) & wildlife tours \- Inveraray Castle and old victorian Jail \- Ruined Castles especially Kilchurn, near Dalmally on Loch Awe and Carnasserie Castle near Kilmartin \- majestic Glen Coe which has amazing mountain scenery and the wilderness of Rannoch Moor which you will see enroute, plus the red deer along Glen Etive if you take a little diversion \- the ‘bonny banks’ of Loch Lomond – the little village of Luss is nice \- Kilmartin Glen has standing stones, burial cairns, rock art and a museum \- Crinan Canal (walk along the tow path or hire a bicycle) \- take a tour into the ‘Hallow Mountain’ at Cruachan Hydro Electric Power Station For children Inveraray Castle and Jail both have a quiz to hold the interest of young people and for activities Argyll Adventure offers pony trekking and zombie games. Another popular afternoon out is to the Scottish Seal Sanctuary which also has otters and an indoor aquarium. Cycling: if you bring your own bicycles then the tow path along Crinan Canal is lovely. Horse Riding: Argyll Adventure near Inveraray offer 1hour and 2 hour treks. Walking: guests are welcome to explore the farm, and our nearest Munro (mountain over 3,000ft) is Ben Cruachan at the end North end of Loch Awe. Eating Out: there are many lovely cafes, pubs and restaurants for lunch or homemade cake when out and about exploring Argyll and most guests do opt to enjoy a good lunch or early evening meal before returning to their cottage to relax and enjoy the view. ## Property amenities ### Ski - Close to skiing ### Internet - Available in the cottage: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Electric car charging station on site - Car required - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Electric kettle - Hob - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - Hair dryer - Shower - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room ### Entertainment - Books - DVD player - Games - TV with cable/satellite channels ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Garden - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - 2 steps to reach entrance - No lift - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In a rural location - In the mountains - Near the bay - Near the sea - On a lake - On a river ### Things to do - Golf - Birdwatching nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Hunting nearby - Motor boating nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Mountain climbing nearby - Rafting nearby - Swimming nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - Fire extinguisher ### General - At least 80% lighting from LEDs - Double-glazed windows - Eco-friendly cleaning products used - Electric car charging station - Garden - Recycling - Unit size: 1,033 square feet ## Similar properties ![Marina](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/31000000/30080000/30077100/30077014/7d9696bb.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Peaceful Farm Cottage in the 'Heart of Argyll' over-looking Loch Awe Dalmally - Sea view - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 10 Exceptional 25 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-21&endDate=2025-11-22&selected=30077014&PinnedHotelID=30077014&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Marina](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/35000000/34050000/34044700/34044655/a687c721.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Lovely view over Loch Awe, hills and fields - Waterfall nearby - south facing Dalmally - Sea view - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 9.8 Exceptional 27 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-21&endDate=2025-11-22&selected=34044655&PinnedHotelID=34044655&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Marina](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/86000000/85300000/85299100/85299046/aa380906.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Charming rural cottage, with stove & large garden overlooking Loch Awe, Argyll.

The accommodation was very clean & spacious, the owners were very friendly & helpful. It was one of those holidays that you never wanted to end, so we will be going back.

If you are looking for a place to enjoy peace and Scotland´s lakes and mountains, this one is the right choice for you. We and our two boys ( 5 and 6 ) had a warm and friendly welcome. The house is equipped with everything you need for self catering. All rooms are very clean, comfortable and homely. From the living room you will have a fantanstic view to Loch Awe. It is a very good starting point for daily trips with your car (Glen Coe, Oban with the ferries to Mull, Inveraray...). We are definitly thinking of coming here again. ##### Stephan Z. Stayed 12 nights in Jul 2016 This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Stephanie B. 12 Jul 2016 #### Excellent cottage in a stunning setting We stayed in Stable; it is very well furnished and equipped and was spotlessly clean for our arrival. The views are absolutely amazing (even on rainy days!) and the peace and quiet of the surroundings make it a real 'away from it all' rest from busy lives. Red squirrels came to the garden feeder every morning and red deer were seen most days in the field below the garden. We were welcomed by Catriona on arrival and she made sure that we knew she was close by should we need anything. Highly recommended. ##### Stephanie B.

Really hard to sit in the lounge in the evening and not gaze out at beautiful sunset over the loch. Wildlife in abundance - we saw red squirrels, deer and ospreys on a regular basis. Very comfortable accommodation and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. ##### Doug R.

Facing west in a spectacular position on the shores of beautiful Loch Awe, we have found this holiday gem - Blarghour Farm.The warm welcome to this 4 star luxury accommodation, from the extremely thoughtful & kind hosts, Catriona Martin and Ile made us instantly feel at home. And from the doorstep we have experienced and enjoyed some of the finest scenery Scotland has to offer. From every window at the Stable we have sat & enjoyed sensational sunsets in a changing kaleidoscope of nature's colours.Also this year Red Squirrels&Deer have been regular visitors.Ospreys have been seen flying along the loch&Dippers feeding their young at the nest.Easy walks with cascading waterfalls have been made from the doorstep.Blarghour Farm is also ideally placed to use as a base with wonderful areas within easy reach to visit. These are just a few of our favourites.The world famous Kilmartin Glen-one of Scotland's oldest landscapes with 5000 years of history on show in the Glen's standing stones,and stone circles.Amazing artefacts are also displayed in Kilmartin's award winning museum.And the cafe there must NOT be missed! The town of Oban gives you access to the ferries if you wish to travel out&visit the Islands.The large reduction in ferry charges to Mull&Iona this year has been an unexpected&very welcomed treat!! Travelling up the loch you soon reach the dramatic and spectacular mountain&coastal scenery of Glencoe. Taking the circular route up the coast&back through the Glen(or vice versa)is a truly fantastic journey.And when back in the comfort of the Stable you may,as we have done so often,be coaxed into gazing west across Loch Awe while enjoying a glass of wine and being captivated by your own spectacular sunset.Colours which have to be seen to be believed, can develop&reflect on your loch view outside &stretch across the sky.If you are lucky as we have been, you will catch a sunset with colours that go on for hours. And once the sunset is over the stars light up in all their glory,with no nearby artificial light to steal their show.We highly recommend that you book a holiday, you will not be disappointed. Just be prepared to fall under Blarghour's enchanting spell! ##### Del M. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [DoubleTree by Hilton Dunblane Hydro](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dunblane-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-Dunblane-Hydro.h520461.Hotel-Information) > > [Claymore Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Arrochar-Hotels-CLAYMORE-HOTEL.h57956439.Hotel-Information) > > [Marine Troon](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Troon-Hotels-The-Marine-Hotel.h554927.Hotel-Information) > > [The Stirling Highland Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stirling-Hotels-The-Stirling-Highland-Hotel.h558482.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairmont St Andrews](https://www.expedia.co.uk/St-Andrews-Hotels-Fairmont-St-Andrews.h663479.Hotel-Information) > > [Dunkeld House Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dunkeld-Hotels-Dunkeld-House-Hotel.h520427.Hotel-Information) > > [Apex City Quay Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dundee-Hotels-Apex-City-Quay-Hotel-Spa.h897382.Hotel-Information) > > [Adamton Country House Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Prestwick-Hotels-Adamton-Country-House-Hotel.h3277768.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton by Hilton Dundee City Centre](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dundee-Hotels-Hampton-By-Hilton-Dundee-City-Center.h15438290.Hotel-Information) > > [JA Mar Hall Scotland](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bishopton-Hotels-Mar-Hall-Golf-Spa-Resort.h1077249.Hotel-Information) > > [Loch Long Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Arrochar-Hotels-Loch-Long-Hotel.h16270964.Hotel-Information) > > [Fonab Castle Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pitlochry-Hotels-Fonab-Castle-Hotel-Spa.h5991409.Hotel-Information) > > [The Victoria Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kirkcaldy-Hotels-The-Victoria-Hotel.h4482159.Hotel-Information) > > [The George Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Inveraray-Hotels-The-George-Hotel.h24458716.Hotel-Information) > > [Inglewood House and Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Alloa-Hotels-Inglewood-House-And-Spa.h12709295.Hotel-Information) > > [The Caledonian Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Fort-William-Hotels-The-Caledonian-Hotel.h13407571.Hotel-Information) > > [Glynhill Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Renfrew-Hotels-Glynhill-Hotel.h868692.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express Glasgow Airport by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Paisley-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Glasgow-Airport.h519994.Hotel-Information) > > [Moness Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Aberfeldy-Hotels-Moness-Resort.h2955414.Hotel-Information) > > [The Great Western Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Oban-Hotels-The-Great-Western-Hotel.h13407325.Hotel-Information) > > [The Pitlochry Hydro Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pitlochry-Hotels-The-Pitlochry-Hydro-Hotel.h1854094.Hotel-Information) > > [Dakota Eurocentral](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Motherwell-Hotels-Dakota-Eurocentral.h1516635.Hotel-Information) > > [The Waverley Castle Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Melrose-Hotels-The-Waverley-Castle-Hotel.h13431010.Hotel-Information) > > [Cameron House on Loch Lomond](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Alexandria-Hotels-Cameron-House-On-Loch-Lomond.h980306.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton by Hilton Hamilton Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hamilton-Hotels-Hampton-By-Hilton-Hamilton-Park.h33810078.Hotel-Information) > > [Wyndham Duchally Country Estate](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Auchterarder-Hotels-CLC-Duchally-Country-Estate-Hotel-Resort.h79023.Hotel-Information) > > [Riverside Lodge Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Irvine-Hotels-Riverside-Lodge-Hotel.h8519.Hotel-Information) > > [Arrochar Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Arrochar-Hotels-Arrochar-Hotel.h1423391.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Glasgow Airport by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Paisley-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Glasgow-Airport.h809324.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree by Hilton Glasgow Strathclyde](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bellshill-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-Glasgow-Strathclyde.h520473.Hotel-Information)
