Cottage On Pier, Holy Loch Shore, Sea And Mountain Views, listed building 1830

Post Office House is an unusual 'B' listed building, offering comfortable accommodation with a 'wow' factor on the western boundary of the Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park. Well positioned for enjoying the Park (walking, biking, forests,mountains, lochs), exploring Argyll (castles, beaches, islands, history) and days out to Glasgow (culture, shops, museums, food.
Perhaps you need a break from all this activity, put your feet up, with a good book, and relax in front of the wood burning stove. Enjoy the views of the Holy Loch, watch out for otters.
It's an open plan house, sleeps two in a double bed, plus the option of a third person in a folding single bed (bedding provided), to be set up where you wish. If you are two but don't share a bed, just ask for the single bed to be provided.

Cottage is very quirky and has everything you could possibly need, it's on the bus route to town if you don't drive and the owners have a drawer full of leaflets of what's in and around for people to do. Views in and around the area are superb also.

Perfect Little Getaway

Could not have asked for a lovelier stay! The house was extremely well equipped with everything we could possibly need. Also had such a cosy feel. There is lots to do round about and there is a bus that comes once an hour right at the door so we didn’t feel restricted without a car! If you want a cosy stay would 100% recommend! We are already discussing coming back :)

Wonderful stay in a beautiful property

Very comfortable and enjoyable stay in a great area of Argyle. Michael was a great host, and having made sure we were comfortably settled left us to enjoy the peace and tranquility that this part of the world offers. Saw the otter at the end of the pier on our first day and loved watching the Oyster Catchers at work on the beach. We will definitely be back.
