Details

Sithean Self Catering is a stunning holiday home on a working organic hill farm by Taynuilt in Argyll. Sithean, (pronounced she-an or shian), means 'fairy knoll' in Gaelic and is built in an elevated position overlooking Glen Lonan. The house commands spectacular views of Loch Etive and the 'Shepherds of Glencoe' to the North, Ben Cruachan to the East and the sun sets over the distant hills of Morvern. It is a great base for those who are looking to explore the beautiful Scottish Highlands.

The house is beautifully designed and is full of surprises like the sauna which accesses into the birch woodlands. It sleeps eight and our goal has been to make it as family friendly, comfortable and unique as possible.

Sithean is self contained and peaceful. It has been designed to sleep six to eight people and can accommodate two families. This lovely new house has South and West facing dining areas (inside and outside) and commands spectacular views of Loch Etive and the 'Shepherds of Glencoe' to the north, Ben Cruachan to the east, Morvern to the West and Barguillean Hill to the south.

On the entry level, there is a porch which is ideally suited for drying wet boots and clothes. This leads on the one side to a shower-room and a double bedroom with a mezzanine and twin beds and on the other side to the kitchen. The kitchen, dining and living areas are open plan with a vaulted ceiling and are attractively divided by a split level floor and earth brick walls. The living area has a radio/stereo and a TV and DVD player. There is a wood burning stove in the living area and underfloor heating throughout the house.

Downstairs there is a double bedroom, a twin bedroom and a bathroom with a sauna which has direct access onto a decking area. The design allows an intimate connection with the birch woods from the lower level.

The village of Taynuilt has a golf course, excellent tea-room, post office, well-stocked village store, a bar and tennis courts. The village has a train station on the Oban to Glasgow line and is on the main Oban-Glasgow bus route. There are plenty of opportunities for walking and cycling in the surrounding area. Half a mile away is Fearnoch Forest, a Forestry Commission managed an area with marked walking and cycling trails. Also nearby is the Nant Glen National Nature Reserve with lovely marked walks. The back road from Sithean to Oban is a stunning cycle ride. Cycle hire is available from RCS Cycles, who offer free delivery of hired bikes to Sithean.
