The Old House, Balure is a charming retreat situated on the picturesque Isle of Lismore, Argyll and Bute, offering breathtaking views of Ben Nevis, Ben Cruachan, and the Morvern hills.
With off-road parking, family-friendly amenities, and welcoming one well-behaved dog, it provides an idyllic escape for couples seeking tranquillity.
Drive down the picturesque country lane to your new abode.
From the outside, the mix of the industrial red roof and rustic stone walls set the tone for this stylish renovated croft.
Upon entering this single-storey retreat, you will be greeted by a spacious open-plan area, boasting rustic wooden flooring and blissful views out to the garden and surrounding countryside.
The kitchen is well-equipped with everything you need to prepare delightful meals, which can be enjoyed at the dining table, offering seating for four guests.
After dinner, retire to the sitting room, where you can snuggle up in front of the woodburning stove and watch your favourite shows on the TV.
The property features a king-size bedroom, complete with an en-suite that houses a walk-in shower, basin, and heated towel rail, ensuring a pleasant and convenient stay.
Step outside to the non-enclosed garden, where you can relax on the patio furniture and soak up the serene countryside views.
The property also benefits from bike storage, perfect for those looking to explore the local area on two wheels.
If you can pull yourself away from this tranquil abode, a short scenic drive will take you to the thriving town of Oban, often referred to as 'Gateway to the Isles'.
Here, you'd be remiss not to visit the world-famous Oban Distillery, where you can sample their finely crafted whisky, and discover the art of distilling which dates back to 1794.
History aficionados will be delighted with an excursion to the grand Duart Castle, ancestral home of the Clan Maclean, with awe-inspiring views across the Sound of Mull.
Equally as captivating, Dunstaffnage Castle and Chapel offers an interesting insight into the rich regional history as well as providing an enchanting spot to spend a sunny afternoon.
Lismore offers scenery all around, a great place to cycle and hike, draw, paint or photograph, and with the ferry terminal nearby means you can explore other stunning areas of Scotland.
As your adventure-packed day ends, return to the calming surroundings of The Old House, Balure for an evening of relaxation and ease.
