Lochside Cottage with Panoramic views of Loch Long and the Arrochar Alps

16 Admiralty is located in the Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park only 20 yards from the shore of Loch Long at the edge of the village of Arrochar and boasts uninterrupted views to Loch Long and the Arrochar Alps beyond. 16 Admiralty is welcoming, cosy and comfortable with a multifuel stove and electric storage heating throughout. The property has free wifi access and parking for two cars. 16 Admiralty is spacious with a comfortable lounge overlooking the loch and mountains. On chilly nights when darkness falls and the view fades you may prefer just to enjoy a quiet drink in front of the cosy fire or watch the large screen TV with on demand TV players and Netflix. We also have a DVD player, a small selection of DVDs and an Ipod doc. 16 Admiralty has 3 bedrooms, bedroom 1 is at the front of the property with views to the loch and mountains and bedrooms 2 and 3 are at the rear with forest views.

There are plenty of local amenities with a shop, garage, cafes and restaurants and two great pubs within easy reach the closest being the Village Inn a few minutes walk away. Arrochar is only two miles from Tarbet Pier on Loch Lomond and 10 miles from the picturesque village of Luss.

If preferred head further north to Oban for ferry links to the Islands or to Fort William and beyond via Glencoe and Rannoch Moor for wild and dramatic scenery. Oban and Fort William are within easy reach by car or public transport and Arrochar and Tarbet train station sits on the scenic West Highland Rail line.

Beautiful view
The place is really nice! Well equipped kitchen and everything was very clean. The main bedroom has a beautiful view over the Loch and of the mountains. The road out front is quiet, much more so than on the opposite side of the lake. There is a nice pub nearby but better for a beer than for dining.

Amazing Views and Comfortable Cottage
We had a lovely week long stay. The location is ideal to explore Loch Lomand and the west coast. Great pub a few steps away, as well as a village shop. The cottage was beautifully decorated and very comfortable with everything you could need. And the views are beautiful.

Even better than expected
The cottage is perfect and more than lived up to our expectations. Stunning views, we were lucky to have great weather which enhanced the scenery. Local Village Inn and Ben's Bothy great if you want to eat and drink local. Lots to do in the surrounding area. The walk to the cobbler well worth a go. One of the best holidays we have had.

Perfect Property
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this lovely property - which was a home from home. Never slept in such a comfortable bed whilst away from home! Kay & Jim were excellent hosts - fast communication and great help/support. Welcome pack gratefully received. Very comfortable property, extremely clean & well decorated, with all the home comforts you could expect. Extremely well stocked kitchen, utility room was a godsend (given the weather we had - although this did not upset our stay). We could not fault the house, but were sorry not to have been able to make use of the outdoor area/furniture, given the beautiful views. The village is quaint, enjoyed eating at Village inn and Cu Mara. Missed the Chippy opening hours and didn't make it to the Bothy sadly. Some lovely walks locally too. Petrol station in the village was useful. Visited Luss - very picturesque and some great places to eat (bistro and Loch Lomond Arms). Also Drovers Inn was good for atmosphere - on the way to Falloch Falls. Loved Oban and took the 2hr wildlife boat trip across to Mull - that was great. Glen Coe was beautiful, enjoyed climbing Ben Nevis - even in the rain, enjoyed Fort William generally and saw Neptune's Staircase. Also took the trip on Jacobite Steam train - very worthwhile. Took a boat trip on Loch Lomond from Balloch, which we enjoyed and was good value. Most trips were recommended in the welcome instructions by Jim & Kay - for which we thank them. Great property, definitely recommend.

Perfect base
Kay and Jim's cottage is a perfect base for exploring the area. It was spotlessly clean and had all the essentials needed whether you stayed in or headed off for the day. All descriptions were very accurate, everything was very simply explained in the house booklet and it was a very charming place to be - made all the better by having a fabulous week with the weather. It really is a beautiful area. There is a delightful area to sit outside in the evening to watch, over the loch, the sun go down behind the mountains. A very comfortable cottage indeed. The cottage is literally the last house in the village as you head out towards Helensburgh but the local Village Inn is a two minute walk away and we would certainly recommend the Cu Mara bistro further along the road as a place to eat. The driveway takes a little bit of navigating to make sure you go up the initial slope correctly, but that was the only very minor inconvenience and, once you have cracked it, all is good. An absolutely delightful week away, thank you Kay and Jim.

This was our third time staying in Jim and Kay's beautiful cottage. The views across loch long are exceptional and the cottage is cosy and has everything you need for a relaxing break. Its walking distance to The Village Inn which is a great spot for a bite to eat and a drink but would advise to book ahead as it does get very busy in the evening. Would highly recommend this house!!

This was a wonderful cottage for the 2 of us. Check in and care from the hosts was great. The views of Loch Long were wonderful and even though its rained most days we still were able to explore the local area and when at home were warm settled and dry. We used the local pub for a few meals as well as easy to get to. One local shop open with a reasonable selection for provisions too.
