The Property

Inside
Welcoming and comfortable, this much loved family home has a mix of antique and country-style modern furnishings creating a lovely relaxed atmosphere. The highlight is the spacious living room with its breath-taking views. The double height ceiling, minstrels’ gallery and many windows fill the room with natural light while the cosy wood burning stove and comfortable seating make it a delightful room to gather in throughout the year. Doors lead out onto a wonderful deck balcony where summer time drinks can be enjoyed while watching glorious sunsets and the gentle movements of boats. The views will inspire any imagination.

DIRECTIONS:

From Glasgow take the M8 to Greenock/Linwood/Erskine then take the M898 exit towards Erskine bridge on crossing the bridge take the left fork and follow the signs for A82 Crianlarch follow the A82 alongside Loch Lomond to Arochar and then to Inveraray and Lochgilphead.
Than take the A816 to Oban and then turn off to Crinan at the Cairnbaan junction (about two miles north of Lochgilphead ).
Follow the canal road to Crinan, when you leave the canal to go towards Crinan do not go down to the harbour but take the right fork up a hill.
At the top of the hill turn left by the small row of cottages.  Do not go down the hill - if you pass the boat yard you have gone too far.

 

Idyllic

5/5 Star Upfront Reviews - September 2023

Perfect setting, comfortable and homely accommodation. Easy walk to Crinan Hotel and locks.Crinan our favourite place in the world and this is now our favourite location to stay. Very relaxing. Sublime in the good weather - we watched the Sound of Jura from the balcony in many changing scenarios - sun set, sunshine, mill-pond, clear sky and moody lightening - excellent.

 

Vrbo Review - August 2022

Ein herrlicher Blick auf das Wasser, ein tolles Haus, es war ein wunderbarer Aufenthalt im Yealand House.
 (A delightful view of the water, a great house, it was a wonderful stay at Yealand House.)

 

5 Star Guest Review July 2021

Excellent layout, easy to live in, settled very quickly. Location wonderful, opening door on deck from master bedroom made me aware of the tranquility of the area, with views and sunsets to always remember. All of the family thoroughly enjoyed our first break in this area. Fun’s times fishing, paddle boarding and canoeing. Would recommend all aspects of Yeahland House.

 

Wonderful Vacation in Crinan

5 Star Upfront review June 2018

We spent a wonderful week in June, 2018 at Yealand House. Very comfortable for our party of 5. Hidden down a driveway from several other houses, you’ll enjoy perfect quiet. The kitchen is well-equipped for preparing and consuming full meals (several food markets are located in nearby Lochgilphead if you’re doing the cooking). The clothes washer, dryer, and dishwasher are all in top condition, too. The family room enjoys stunning views over the water to Jura, with light past 11pm in June. There is also a sunny room at the back of the house, perfect for morning tea and coffee. There are plenty of activities nearby to entertain, from touristed Oban to Neolithic barrows and standing stones in the Glen of Kilmartin. A stroll down the canal path to Cairnbaan, or beyond, is highly recommended, likewise as to the trail in Crinan Woods. We’d love to return someday! Highly recommended.
