The Property

Situated in an elevated position and hidden within woodland is this rustic detached farmhouse, sitting in more than half an acre of land. Inverglen Farm offers guests an oasis of peace and tranquillity whilst still being close to local amenities, and within walking distance from the local shop and pub. The property is accessible via a rough track through the woods.

The house is brilliant. Especially like the open fires and the large ‘historic’ bath off the main bedroom. Highly recommend staying and exploring the area, lots of beautiful and interesting places to visit including, Inveraray, Oban and Glen Coe. Inver (restaurant) is worth a visit for lunch or dinner.

We have just spent 2 fabulous weeks in this beautiful remote farmhouse and are very sad to be leaving. We had lots of walks straight from the farmhouse and enjoyed the quiet and beautiful scenery. Watching the sunsets, not another house or car in sight….perfect.

Such a magical location to explore the area from. Loved the cottage so much and enjoyed many a glass of wine with the view over the Loch. We will return.
