The property
Ardfern 5.1 miles.
Kelpie is a homely, all-ground-floor lodge nestled on the bay in Craobh Haven near Ardfern, Argyll and Bute.
With off-road parking, excellent facilities and idyllic countryside views, this pet-friendly lodge welcomes a family of four to discover the beauty of Scotland.
Find your new home-from-home down a gravelled path overlooking the bay, where you'll surely spot boats and wildlife during your stay, such as seals and sea otters.
Kick off your boots and step inside the open-plan living area with thoughtful décor and all the self-catering essentials; prepare picnics and home-cooked meals in the contemporary kitchen area, with stylish fittings and a built-in fridge/freezer.
Savour your breakfast at the dining table for four to plan the day's adventures over a heart-warming feast.
Set in front of the patio door framing lovely views, the sofa is a prime spot to snuggle up and watch TV or admire the sun setting across the bay.
Why not take a hot drink out to the decking with seating to make the most of your beautiful surroundings?
As the night draws in, choose a hot shower, before crawling under the sheets in one of two bedrooms.
The double also hosts the washer and dryer to freshen up muddy walking gear, whilst the bunk room is ideal for two younger guests.
Venture out on a boat trip from Craobh Marina to explore the surrounding isles of Argyll, followed by dinner and a well-earned drink at The Lord of The Isles, a bar and restaurant with sea views!
The nearby village of Ardfern has plenty of history to discover, alongside a pub, shop, craft centre and tearoom, whilst a sailing trip of the west coast also set off from the marina; perhaps you'll see some of Scotland's marine life, from porpoise to sea birds, and maybe even dolphins and minke whale!
Jump in the car and head to Lochgilphead to the south, whilst north lies Oban for panoramic views of the bay from McCaig's Tower and Battery Hill, Oban War & Peace Museum and coastal walks to marvel at the unforgettable sights.
Choose Kelpie for a family-friendly lodge in the great outdoors with all the home comforts.

Where you’ll be staying
ARDFERN
Lochgilphead 16 miles; Oban 21 miles.
The picturesque coastal village of Ardfern sits on the Craignish Peninsula in Scotland’s beautiful and dramatic Argyll region. An ancient settlement, there is evidence of population at Ardfern dating from 600 AD when contemporaries of St Columba were here, plus there is a ruined church on the Peninsula dating from 12th century. The village today contains a pub, shop, craft centre, tea room and a large marina, ideally placed for sailing off the west coast. A second marina is nearby at Craobh Haven and the towns of Lochgilphead and Oban are well worth a visit offering many shops, cafes, bars and restaurants. The surrounding scenery is what makes the area, with the hills, lochs and mountains offering spectacular walking, plus there is fresh water and sea fishing nearby to delight the angler. Ardfern is a lovely base for exploring the area.
