To the south is Kilmartin Glen, an area rich in historical legacy, offering over 350 ancient monuments to find and explore. The marvellous countryside, stunning scenery and sea views provide great opportunities to spot wildlife; deer are on the hillside, eagles soaring high in the sky and seals bobbing in the sea.
Argyll is fantastic for walkers and climbers with many hill and mountain ranges within the area. For cycling enthusiasts, there are miles of forestry tracks to explore. Coastal walks provide great bird watching opportunities, places to launch a canoe/kayak or try your hand at a spot of sea fishing. There are a number of local golf courses within easy reach.

Lovely apartment, very comfortable and well kept. Welcome pack consisting of some beautiful roses, cider, tea, coffee and milk much appreciated. Also appreciated were the local hand lotions and soaps from the Highland Soap company. In a really good location for the town, although the steep paths might cause an issue if you have mobility problems. Its the price you pay for being on the hill and that view!Fiona was very welcoming and kept in touch to make sure everything was to our liking (it was!)If you like seafood, I can recommend the seafood shack located next to the ferry terminal. There is SOME seating and it is outside, but the seafood is to die for! We also took a trip over to Mull. We took our car with us, and drove round the island, admiring the wildlife and the scenery. We also took the pedestrian ferry over to Iona, as I had always wanted to visit. On the way back we called in at Tobermory, which is stunning.
