Carse House

For a truly rural stay in the Scottish Highlands, stay in this remarkable Georgian property. Accessible via a driveway from the single-track road that meanders along the coastline between Tarbert and Lochgilphead, where you'll discover a treasure trove of quiet beaches, hidden coves and historical remnants dating back to the bronze age. The grounds of this four-storey home are made up of wild woodland and pretty lawns. Kids will love exploring the surrounding woodland during your stay. Head up to the Hill Loch to fish for resident brown trout, or head across the fields 0.5 mile down to the secluded, sandy beach for some swimming, sunbathing or sea fishing. The nearest pub is an award-winning local just 4 miles away, and the nearest village, Tarbert, is  just 10.5 miles west. Head here for a general shop, art gallery, café and bustling fishing and yacht harbour.
