Garemount Lodge

Two-storey cottage adjoining attractive architect-designed home, set in an acre of garden, with excellent views over the Gareloch. Sleeps 2 (max. 3).

The cottage has a private entrance. A small hall leads to a large open-plan kitchen/living-room with views of the loch. The kitchen is fully equipped including oven, hob, dishwasher, fridge, freezer, microwave and washing machine/dryer and iron. The living area has a maple dining-table and chairs, a double sofabed, easy-chair, and a feature-fireplace. There is a T.V., DVD, radio/CD-player and a selection of books and toys plus lots of tourist information about this area.

Upstairs, the double-bedded room has panoramic views of the Gareloch and has an antique four-piece suite, TV, clock/radio and hairdryer. It adjoins the bathroom with full-size bath and over-bath electric shower. A cot or a single futon are available. We provide all bedlinen, plus towels, tea-towels etc.

The cottage has gas central-heating, a patio with table and chairs, and there's ample car-parking space. We're a non-smoking establishment and we welcome well-behaved dogs (sorry, one dog only) who bring their own beds.

Argyll and Bute is arguably Scotland's most scenic county with excellent road and rail links to the rest of the country. Garemount Lodge is an ideal base for exploring. We're on the Clyde Sea Lochs Trail, a mile from the village of Rhu (friendly pub, 2 hotels, post office and shop). Helensburgh has two railway stations (south to Glasgow, north on the picturesque West Highland Line) and boasts many independent shops selling varied goods. There's Charles Rennie Mackintosh's masterpiece, The Hill House, restaurants, golf, tennis, bowling, putting, a swimming pool, fitness centre and a variety of pleasant walks. The "Waverley", Britain's last ocean-going paddle-steamer, sails from Helensburgh to the Kyles of Bute. The Loch Lomond National Park with its visitor centre, shops, and tourism attractions is nearby.

Glasgow, one of Europe's top destination cities, is 25 miles away. Glasgow Airport is 20 miles distant whilst Edinburgh is an hour and three-quarters drive. Less than an hour away are the Trossachs (Rob Roy country), Stirling Castle, the William Wallace Monument, Blair Drummond Wildlife Park and Inveraray Castle.

There's sailing on the Gareloch and Shandon Country Pursuits, a short walk away, offers clay-pigeon shooting, off-road driving, quad biking, fishing or archery. From your windows, see sailing boats or even a submarine enroute to the Clyde Submarine Base half a mile away. Walkers and Cyclists welcome.

Short Breaks available off season from £140 - £190.
