Why visit Argyll, Cowal and Bute?

Why not head North to Oban and Fort William?

90% of Scotland's most appreciated tourist do just that... year after year. Yet Argyll, Cowal and Bute offer you the most populated area of lochs and walkways, spectacular scenery, botanic gardens, castles and wildlife in Scotland and, because it is off the beaten tourist track, a very peaceful and relaxing place in which to stay.

Discover the true beauty and history of Scotland

The Cowal peninsula and Argyll Forest Park, some 54,000 acres, offer you a wide range of sporting activities including golf, fishing, various pleasure cruises, mountain-biking, cycling, organised horse riding and of course sailing and other water-based sports.

Magnificent Loch Eck scythes through the centre of the Cowal Peninsula, surrounded by high, forested hills. The loch epitomises Cowal - rugged and spectacular but at the same time peaceful, where you can while away the hours fishing, walking or just taking in the scenery. Captivating Bute, once the island retreat of Scottish kings, lies at the heart of the Firth of Clyde, and is the favourite destination of the famous 'Waverley', the last seagoing paddle steamer in the world.

'The very best of Scotland in miniature and packed into an area of only 35 x 25 miles and all within 60 minutes of your Whistlefield holiday lodge.'

Activities on your doorstep or less than one hour's travel

Further north is Inverary, Lochgoilhead and Oban, with extensive facilities. The Arrochar Alps... gloriously rugged peaks for the more serious hill walker, stand high above Loch Long, looking onto the 'Rest and be Thankful', a fine viewpoint where cattle drovers once enjoyed a well deserved break after a tough climb. To the East, Loch Lomond and the Trossachs - Scotland's first National park.

An evening out

Imagine an evening in a cosy 14th Century inn with an open fire and inviting atmosphere. Imagine a fantastic selection of Malt Whisky and beers and a restaurant with great food and the same panoramic sunset views as your own Whistlefield Lodge. Then travel no further than 200 or so metres from your accommodation and you'll arrive at the 'TV famous' Whistlefield Inn www.whistlefield.co.uk The Inn is full of intrigue and history and you may well hear of ancient tales of smugglers, tunnels, ghosts and even an ancient massacre, during your visit to the Inn.
