Seal Point Cabin, peaceful, private, couples retreat, loch edge & pet friendly (1 only)

Seal Point Cabin is uniquely located near the waters edge of beautiful Loch Fyne boasting breath-taking waters and hill views. Nestled in an idyllic private location nearby St Catherines, Cairndow, perfect for exploring the spectacular Cowal Peninsula and the West Coast of Scotland.

Designed exclusively for two, it's the perfect coastal escape to experience peace and tranquility. A hidden haven that will take you on a journey with nature while staying in a little piece of luxury. Loch Fyne is the longest sea loch in Scotland. Seal Point is located at the top end, allowing for many beautifully calm flat days to swim and enjoy the loch, often with a curious seal passing by.

Built to a high spec the newly built accommodation takes glamping to the next level offering a home from home experience equipped with modern amenities. The open plan living space is light and bright, with a timber floor and floor-to-high ceiling timber cladded walls.

The Elfin kitchen is fitted with a small worktop, sink, under-counter fridge with freezer compartment, featuring a 30 litre combination microwave with grill, two induction hobs and coffee machine. There is everything you need to prepare breakfast, a picnic or evening meal. With an abundance of local produce on your doorstep you are able to indulge in some of the delicious local foods from nearby villages. The cabin features a cosy dining table for two or enjoy alfresco from the deck.

Featuring a luxury king-size bed with quality linen and furnishings for a comfortable night sleep. The windows are situated perfectly for you to enjoy lazy mornings looking out towards the loch. There is a sitting area next to the bed with two comfy arm chairs. High spec insulation keeps the cabin cosy!

The bathroom has a walk-in shower cubicle, toilet and hand washing basin. Towels and bed linen provided.

Includes a Smart TV and free Wi-Fi.

One well behaved dog is very welcome. GBP25 per stay. Please keep your dog on a lead when outdoors. Your pet is not allowed on bed or arm chairs and must be house-trained. Please pre-book and pre-pay.

The outdoor space features a covered deck at the entrance with a table and chairs. The perfect spot to enjoy a refreshing gin & tonic or your favourite tipple while watching the everchanging views over Loch Fyne, or simply unwind at one of the many inviting spots to relax outside.

The surrounding space couldn't be more special, with stunning water views surrounded by lush woodlands, winding paths and walkways. There are plenty of tranquil spots, not to mention the long walks along the waters edge that will inspire. Guests have access to a fire pit and seating on the waters edge.

The area is a haven for wildlife with seals, porpoise, otters, red squirrels and an abundance of birdlife. Frequent visitors include red and roe deer, the domestic flock of lavender guinea fowl and even foxes and badgers. To maintain a happy equilibrium with these neighbours, we ask that any dog is always kept securely on a lead to avoid disturbing these creatures.

Guests have access to the lawned parkland area. Through the trees you have a glimpse of the original manor house - but your peace and privacy will be undisturbed.

Seal Point Cabin is situated at the end of a private gravel road, there is no passing traffic to disturb this tranquil spot.

Maximum two guests only.

Seal Point Cabin has a sister cabin, Seal Cove Cabin, now available to book - identically set out and sensitively positioned over 40 metres away, ensuring that your peace and privacy are maintained.

Absolute stunning location
Wow…. What a stunning location with amazing views. Louisa is the best host. Her spaniel Emma is adorable. We had a wonderful stay, and so had our dog, his own loch to swim in…. We definitely want to come back with friends and rent both cabins! The area is amazing and so many places to visit and many things to do, Thank you Louisa for a lovely memorable stay

Perfect relaxation
Our cabin was stunning. Very comfy bed, well appointed kitchenette, lovely shower. Very clean and comfortable. The view from the cabin was fantastic. We had a perfect 2 night break. Our dog really enjoyed his walks and swims. Welcome pack included wine and bikkies for us and treats for woof. Louisa made us feel very welcome indeed. Looking forward to our next visit. A perfect oasis of calm. Xx

Beautiful cosy cabin
Just returned from a lovely short break at Seal Point Cabin. It's in a beautiful spot looking out over the loch with views from every window. It's beautifully furnished and finished with everything you could need for a relaxing, romantic stay. The weather was pretty awful when we were there but we still managed to sit out on the covered deck, wrapped in the blankets thoughtfully provided by Louisa. Highly recommended for a cosy couples getaway.

Stunning cabin location
We stayed for 3 nights late Spring at Seal Point Cabin. We received a warm welcome from the owner. The cabin was well equipped, clean and with many home comforts. The location and views around the cabin were absolutelly stunning, made even more perfect by beautiful dunny weather. A perfect place to switch off and relax.

A wonderful escape from the World!
This cosy little cabin on the banks of Loch Fyne is a wonderful escape from the World in a beautiful, unspoilt setting. Well appointed with efficient use of space and high quality and modern furnishings. Louisa and Peter are very considerate and welcoming hosts who make you feel right at home. We enjoyed it so much, we stayed an extra day!

Seal point cabin
This little cabin is one of the most perfect places we have stayed in . From the moment we arrived to the moment we left nothing was too much for our hosts. The cabin had every thing you could possibly need to make our stay one we will never forget . I don’t think you could get a more perfect location. We could have spent a whole week just at the cabin taking in the beautiful views . A truly rare find .

Idyllic Retreat
Sublime secluded location with amazing views from cabin porch. The cabin is itself is fantastic, novel quirky design (you quickly get used to small doorway!) and superbly appointed inside, roomy and comfortable. The hosts could not have been more helpful and friendly and made us feel very welcome. Whilst there are many places nearby one could drive out to, we found our days were filled by simply walking along the lochside and beach with our young border collie, swimming from the beach area 100 yds from cabin, watching and spotting wildlife, and simply taking the time to just chill in beautiful and calming surroundings. We even managed to catch the sea otter family swimming just in front of the cabin as well as a few seals.

Picture Perfect Place for a Peaceful Stay
The plan to stay in Seal Point Cabin was to achieve a level of rest and relaxation that was sorely missing from our lives in recent times. There are many lovely places to visit for a short break throughout our favoured west coast of Scotland but the photos and description of this place in Cairndow completely had us hooked. We love all things unusual and quirky anyway and the design and look of the cabin is a huge draw but wow, the setting is something else! To wake up and be able to still see that early morning view from the bed was just wonderful. It was a joy to sit outside on the porch and just listen to the wildlife while trying to soak up the views across the loch, watching the mist and clouds rolling over the hills and dissipate away down to Inveraray. We had already visited the immediate local areas last year so didn't feel the need to explore much further than Dunoon (potential property/job hunting), and the pathway alongside the loch, in front of our cabin was enough of a stroll for us. We really did not want to venture too far away from our relaxing home from home! We did however love walking alongside and then into the loch to experience wild swimming for the first time, again another amazing feeling and a definite 'must repeat' on future trips. A big thank you must go to our lovely friendly hosts, Louisa and Peter, not to mention the effervescent Emma and the chatty domestic guinea fowl for providing the on-site entertainment! This is a beautiful, well designed holiday home with everything you need for a peaceful stay, and our hosts were on hand, if required, for any queries or help, or just a friendly wave 'good morning' as they went by. We would love to visit Seal Point Cabin again to take in the views and recharge the proverbial batteries, and this stay has most definitely been added to our happy memory banks.

A wonderful stay at Seal Point Cabin
My sister and I stayed at Seal Point Cabin las week. We had chosen to stay around Loch Fyne to revisit places we had stayed on holiday as children 40 years ago. The location was just PERFECTION! Idyllic and peaceful and beyond our expectations. Louisa's hospitality when we arrived was incredibly warm and friendly. She gave us a rundown of things inside the cabin/how everything worked etc and had provided recommendations on places to eat nearby. The cabin itself was so cute and cosy. We really looked forward to coming back to it each night after a day of exploring. All the home comforts you could need are inside whilst outside there is a firepit where we toasted marshmallows. The cabin is situated right on the loch so of course a dip in the saltwater was a must do activity. We will absolutely come back to Seal Point - its a little piece of heaven and we had the best holiday because of it. Huge thanks to Louisa :)

2nd visit Cairndow
Our 2nd visit, on our return from Isle of Harris, and we thoroughly enjoyed it. The cabin was spotlessly clean and the bed comfortable with good quality beddiing. Situated in a beautiful spot, overlooking Lich Fyne, and we have no hesitation in recommending this property.

Simply incredible!
I honestly cannot recommend this place enough and we will definitely be back. From the moment we arrived and to the moment we left, our hosts were friendly and just a quick message away if we needed anything. The cabin was private, quiet, clean, cute and comfortable. The views are amazing and we even got to see a family of otters in the loch! There are some fantastic walks right from your front door and more to do and see in nearby towns including Inveraray. I felt so happy and relaxed the whole time. We loved it!

Amazing getaway for wedding anniversay
We booked this for last week of May 2024 and had stunning weather during our 3 night stay. The cabin and it's location are stunning. As best as the pictures try they truly don't do the cabin justice. It has to be seen to be believed. The facilities are perfect, comfy as it gets and awaking in bed looking out the window overlooking the loch is unforgettable. If you're not heading out to Inverary (20mins drive) for places to eat, do bring supplies with you as shop options are limited on this side of the loch, and they do close early. The hosts are great and super helpful. Can't fault anything, even the longish drive is actually really nice and enjoyable! We've been to a few glamping spots over the past few years and this is hands down our new fave and will be returning for sure.
