Stunning - 10/10! Facing west in a spectacular position on the shores of beautiful Loch Awe, we have found this holiday gem - Blarghour Farm.The warm welcome to this 4 star luxury accommodation, from the extremely thoughtful & kind hosts, Catriona Martin and Ile made us instantly feel at home. And from the doorstep we have experienced and enjoyed some of the finest scenery Scotland has to offer.
From every window at the Stable we have sat & enjoyed sensational sunsets in a changing kaleidoscope of nature's colours.Also this year Red Squirrels&Deer have been regular visitors.Ospreys have been seen flying along the loch&Dippers feeding their young at the nest.Easy walks with cascading waterfalls have been made from the doorstep.Blarghour Farm is also ideally placed to use as a base with wonderful areas within easy reach to visit. These are just a few of our favourites.The world famous Kilmartin Glen-one of Scotland's oldest landscapes with 5000 years of history on show in the Glen's standing stones,and stone circles.Amazing artefacts are also displayed in Kilmartin's award winning museum.And the cafe there must NOT be missed!
The town of Oban gives you access to the ferries if you wish to travel out&visit the Islands.The large reduction in ferry charges to Mull&Iona this year has been an unexpected&very welcomed treat!! Travelling up the loch you soon reach the dramatic and spectacular mountain&coastal scenery of Glencoe. Taking the circular route up the coast&back through the Glen(or vice versa)is a truly fantastic journey.And when back in the comfort of the Stable you may,as we have done so often,be coaxed into gazing west across Loch Awe while enjoying a glass of wine and being captivated by your own spectacular sunset.Colours which have to be seen to be believed, can develop&reflect on your loch view outside &stretch across the sky.If you are lucky as we have been, you will catch a sunset with colours that go on for hours. And once the sunset is over the stars light up in all their glory,with no nearby artificial light to steal their show.We highly recommend that you book a holiday, you will not be disappointed.
Just be prepared to fall under Blarghour's enchanting spell!
