The Kilchoan Estate enjoys an idyllic and peaceful setting, facing south on the north shore of Loch Melfort. Delightfully secluded near the end of a 5-mile single-track road, it commands magnificent views over the loch and the islands of Shuna and Luing, to Scarba and Jura beyond. From Kilchoan, one can explore the islands in the rowing boat provided or wander in the hills, discovering quiet lochs and havens abundant with wildlife.

One of a pair, Fisherman’s Cottage is set in the grounds of another cottage, sharing its driveway. The fishing village of Carradale is just half a mile away with its vast sandy beach, scenic 9-hole golf course, shops and an hotel with an excellent restaurant.
