Easy to muscle-crunching, there is a walk here for everyone. You are renting the whole cottage I live in the adjoining house. Fiona and I are here if you have any questions or for assistance. Scenery - picture postcard Scotland. Within the Loch Lomond & Trossachs National Park, Lochgoilhead sits at the head of a total fjord type sea loch. Backed by the mountains of the Argyll Forest Park, we like to think this place is pretty special. Activities - for a small village there is an excellent choice of things to do. Take to the hills on a number of marked walking trails. Take to the water on kayaks, a group canoe trip or hire a boat. The local leisure centre has a 25m indoor swimming pool, sauna,a Jacuzzi, indoor play area and a range of activities. Open to the public. Entertainment - Friday night in the Goil Inn is either an acoustic night or bar entertainment. The nearby holiday village has regular entertainment. Touring - We have a number of scenic drives laid out for you for the must-see things in the area. Tours of the Cowal Peninsula, drives to Glencoe, Oban, the Trossachs - and Edinburgh. You can arrive by public bus from Helensburgh or Dunoon. To be fair, a car will help you get the most out of your stay at Bowater Cottage.
