Accessible Country Bungalow in Drimvore

The cottage is nestled in a peaceful location where you can hear the buzzards and the migrating geese overhead. The property boasts an array of wildlife. From April onwards a cuckoo calls from the nearby woods, while in summer there is a hare that frequently visits the garden. In between the months of April to September, swallows gather on the wires behind the house. 

Accommodation details

The property is well equipped, creating that home-from-home feeling. There is a ramp leading to the wide front door, and there are wide doors throughout. There is a battery-powered Oxford Mini 140 hoist in the house (guests must bring their own sling). There is a full-accessible wet room shower.

The living room is spacious and contains a wood burning stove, BT TV and WiFi, and also a BluRay/DVD player. This room features a double sofa, matching chair and a rise & recline chair.

Area information

The cottage is nestled in a peaceful location where you can hear the buzzards and the migrating geese overhead. The property boasts an array of wildlife. From April onwards a cuckoo calls from the nearby woods, while in summer there is a hare that frequently visits the garden. Between the months of April to September, swallows gather on the wires behind the house. The house is located in the Moine Mhor area of Kilmartin Glen. It is close to Crinan, Crinan Canal and Kilmartin. Kilmartin Glen is an area containing many prehistoric cairns and standing stones.

Activities close by include boat trips, gardens, lochs and coastlines to explore and prehistoric sites to see. The tourist towns of Oban and Inveraray are within a short driving distance. Lochgilphead and its excellent shops are five miles away. There is a selection of pubs, hotels and restaurants in the area. The surrounding roads are rather quiet and level, meaning that wheelchair users can go out and explore the local area and its wonderful scenery.
