Charming Cosy Cottage for 8, by Loch Long & Loch Lomond | Dog friendly

Campbell Cottage, situated in the picturesque Argyll village of Arrochar, Loch Long, is a cosy listed cottage. Full of character, Campbell Cottage offers a comfortable, well equipped, warm and snug home from home.

* We have been looking after key workers since Covid-19, so there are no recent reviews. We are delighted to have now re-opened to welcome wonderful guests!

Perfectly suited to families with young children, groups of friends celebrating a special occasion or reunion, as well as walkers looking to escape into the hills of the Arrochar Alps. Well behaved pets are extremely welcome.

Steeped in heritage and history, the cottage forms one side of The Steadings. Built in 1760, they were originally stables where the Duke Of Argyll would keep his horses for the long journeys to and from the Highlands.

The cottage has a large garden backing on to the hills behind. Loch Lomond lies 2 miles to the East.

Sleeping 8 in 4 bedrooms, accommodation includes 1 4ft double bedroom, and 3 bedrooms that can either be made up as king size or twin rooms (king size beds set up as default). All the bedrooms look out over the garden onto the hills behind Arrochar. Two bathrooms, one with a shower and one with a bath.

Situated on the shores of Loch Long, Arrochar is the gateway to the Arrochar Alps and Argyll Forest Park.

Cosy cottage in a beautiful location
We spent a lovely week here in August. The cottage is spacious, warm and comfortable, with a small garden looking onto the hills. There is plenty of walking from the doorstep and the cottage is only a 5 minute drive from Tarbet and Loch Lomond. We’d certainly go back!

Gîte très humide - Très cher pour la prestation
Une des chambre sent très fort l’humidité, il est très difficile d’y dormir, les matelas à ressort ne sont pas très confortables. Les placards de cuisine sentent aussi très fort l’humidité. Nous avons été déçus par la prestation. Mauvais rapport qualité /prix
