About this property
Gun Powder Cottage is a charming cottage on the outskirts of Tighnabruaich, an idyllic place for families or groups of friends to enjoy their time in Scotland. With a charming interior, tiled floors, white-washed walls and a woodburning stove you'll have all you need for a relaxing stay, and the decking outside offers furniture to dine al fresco on sunny days. Head through the enclosed front garden and step inside to the open-plan living space, appointed with a sofa, a smart TV, and a breakfast bar for four to savour home-cooked meals. The contemporary kitchen area has an electric oven and hob, a microwave, a fridge/freezer whilst the utility room houses a washing machine and dishwasher. After a day exploring the county and coast, freshen up in the beautifully tiled shower room before choosing between two double bedrooms. Awaken with a cup of coffee on the decking before heading on foot, where you can enjoy seafood at Botanica at the Barn and visit the historic landmark of Asgog Castle. Tighnabruaich rests on Argyll's coast, so you can enjoy strolls along the seafront with views over crystal clear waters, immerse yourself in culture at The Tighnabruaich Gallery or tee up at the nearby golf course. Visit the charming town of Dunoon, home to Wreckspeditions, a company that offers tours of shipwrecks in the area. You can also visit the Castle House Museum, which is housed in a former castle. When you're ready to relax, head to The Lorne Dunoon for a delicious meal and a pint of beer. For an area of natural beauty, look no further than Gun Powder Cottage.
Tighnabruaich is a beautiful spot on Argyll's Secret Coast. It overlooks the Kyles of Bute, a narrow sea channel separating Bute from the Cowal Peninsula. The area's hills, glens, beaches, and clear waters are perfect for walking, cycling, fishing, sailing, and diving. The village's cafes and restaurants serve fresh seafood. Tighnabruaich Gallery features contemporary Scottish artists, and Caol Ruadh Sculpture Park is a unique outdoor gallery. Tighnabruaich is near Inverary Castle and 2 hours from Glasgow.
