Spacious house, for upto 8, family & pet friendly, by the sea, with garden | House in Kilmelford

CREAG-an-FHITHICH (pronounced craig-an-eeoch) meaning 'Raven's Rock', is available as a self catering holiday house for a relaxing or busy holiday on the sea shore at Loch Melfort, in Argyll, on the West Coast of the Highlands of Scotland. When the weather is good, the sun shines on the house all day and meals can be taken alfresco on the picnic table, even out of season. The beautiful views of the loch, marina and hills, with the isles of Shuna, Luing and Scarba in the distance, are ever-changing. The sunsets are breathtaking.
• The stone and slate Victorian manse was built in 1850. It has been modernised and is a comfortable house, whilst retaining its original character. It is not a 'boutique' residence. It is the family home.
• Watch the seals, cormorants, eider duck, varied sea birds, the elusive otter, pine martens and red squirrels, all from the garden. Fish on the sea loch from the shore in front of the house. Local freshwater lochs can be fished by permit from the village Post Office.

Creag-an-Fhithich is Donald's family home. Alas we do not live in it but in Wales. However his relations are all around. Mrs Bailey, our housekeeper and caretaker, is at the end of a telephone and on a computer for emails, for problems etc. She will also be your point of contact for Check-In. Donald is quite happy to receive telephone calls between 0900hrs and 2100hrs and emails. Being a dinosaur, he does not really understand texting etc. We will help where we can!
