Additionally, the property is pet-friendly, allowing up to two dogs, enhancing the family-friendly atmosphere.
Set in 50 acres of beautifully landscaped grounds, the house offers direct access to a small beach, ideal for children and families to explore. Outdoor activities abound, with a motorboat available for guests' use, provided they possess the necessary RYA Level Two Powerboat qualification. For those who prefer to bring their own boat, a jetty is available. The surrounding area is rich with opportunities for adventure, including walking trails, fishing, and excursions to nearby attractions such as the Isle of Bute and Mount Stuart House and Gardens, which are easily accessible via a local ferry service.
Despite its secluded location, Tighnabruaich is well-equipped to ensure guests have everything they need for a memorable stay. Local amenities, including a village store run by a helpful proprietor, provide access to pre-ordered groceries and locally sourced produce. With an abundance of activities and attractions nearby, guests often find that their time at Tighnabruaich passes quickly, filled with fun and relaxation.
