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.
