Dunoon, located in Argyll, Scotland, is a picturesque destination that boasts stunning natural landscapes, including lush forests, majestic mountains, and expansive lochs. The charming village of Kilmun, situated on the northern shore of the Holy Loch within the Cowal peninsula, serves as an ideal base for visitors seeking adventure, history, and tranquility. The recently refurbished Holly Trees Lodge accommodates up to six guests in its three well-furnished bedrooms, providing a comfortable and inviting atmosphere for families, friends, or couples. With its single-floor layout, the lodge encourages social interaction, whether through cooking in the modern kitchen, dining around the large wooden table, or unwinding by the fire with a favorite movie.
The accommodation features a relaxing master bedroom with an ensuite shower, alongside a cozy double bedroom and a twin room that can be converted into a king-sized bed, making it suitable for children. A shared bathroom equipped with both a shower and bath enhances the convenience for guests. Morning routines can be savored with the help of a Nespresso coffee machine, while the lush garden and summer house offer a serene retreat with breathtaking views of the Holy Loch, River Eachaig, and Glen Massan Valley, enriching the overall experience of staying at Holly Trees Lodge.
The location is ideal for outdoor enthusiasts, with numerous activities available nearby, such as walking along Loch Eck, visiting Ardentinny Beach, or enjoying a round of golf at Blairmore and Strone Golf Course.

Guests are encouraged to engage with the local host, a qualified hiking guide, who can provide insights and assistance in navigating the area's trails.
Rich in history, Kilmun is notable for its monastic roots established by Celtic monk St. Fintan Munnu in the 7th century, with remnants of a 12th-century church still visible today. The Kilmun Arboretum, located just a short walk from the lodge, showcases over 150 species of trees from around the globe, making it a hidden gem for nature enthusiasts.
