On the banks of Loch Fyne, on the west coast, immerse yourself in Britain's finest example of an exotic Himalayan-style woodland. A tranquil site, with its dramatic gorge, rippling burn, waterfalls and cliffs. This entrancing garden was threatened with neglect and eventual extinction until The National Trust stepped in to save it and it was re-opened to visitors in 2002. Picnic area.

I have selected the properties on Private House Stays for their individuality that results from being privately owned. They take many forms from bed and breakfasts to small hotels but in each case it is the marque of the owner that sets it apart. This may be the charm of the furnishings, the wholesome home cooking or simply the atmosphere created by a charismatic host. I have inspected most of the establishments listed here and feel sure you will enjoy staying in them too.
Remember - booking through Private House Stays is free of charge.
