Self catering near Lochgilphead Argyll

Seafield Farm Cottages Argyll - Kirkland, Byre and Stable are in lovely locations on Loch Sween, sheltered by ancient oak woodlands. Seafield has been our family home and a holiday destination for nearly 100 years. This is an area with a rich archaeological and historical heritage and being slightly off the beaten track, you won't have to share it with many others. We have wildlife in abundance including otters, osprey, red squirrels, deer, seals and pine martens. In 2009, 11 European Beavers were introduced to Knapdale Forest as part of a five year trial. The nearest beavers are one mile from the cottages. There is excellent cycling and walking on empty forest roads directly from the farm.

We no longer farm but have a kitchen garden, chickens, willow grown for basketmaking, and some sheep grazing. Home produce is sometimes available to buy. Baskets are available for sale in the Workshop. The village of Crinan with its historic canal is nearby and so is Tayvallich, with an Inn, shop, coffee shop and nature reserve. Fly fishing permits for brown trout are available from Seafield. We are also close to Kilmartin Glen with its world famous cairns, stones and rock art and Kilmartin House Museum which as well as the museum displays has an excellent restaurant, cafe and book and craft shop.

Kirkland (sleeps 3 plus cot), is a detached timber lodge on one level with a woodburning stove and uninterrupted loch views. The great situation makes it our most popular holiday home. Kirkland has an enclosed woodland garden and the loch shore is 20 metres from your patio doors. Enjoy fantastic sunsets and the ever changing loch. More information about Kirkland.

Byre and Stable Cottages (each sleeps 4 plus cot) are more spacious than Kirkland and have upstairs bedrooms. The excellent conversions of the 150 year old farm steading offer comfortable, roomy accommodation with traditional charm and all mod cons. The head of the loch is 150 metres from the cottages. This is an ideal touring base for Argyll and the Isles. More information about the cottages.
