Blarghour Holiday Homes - Lochaweside, by Dalmally

Beautifully situated, mid-way along the south-east shore of lovely Loch Awe, on the B840, amidst some of the finest scenery in Argyll, Blarghour offers the discerning visitor a choice of high quality accommodation, carefully managed, in situations of great beauty, which afford peace, privacy and seclusion while being centrally situated for touring.

Blarghour is a hill farm of 2,000 acres on which unrestricted walking and bird watching may be enjoyed. There are numerous forest walks around the loch which offer similar opportunities - the walk to Avich Falls being particularly rewarding.

Trout and Pike fishing on Loch Awe is available by permit which may be obtained at the farm. Boat hire can be arranged locally with details available in your holiday home.

The surrounding area provides opportunities for climbing and hill walking with Ben ruachan, Ben Lui and other Munros nearby.

Golf courses at Dalmally, Inveraray, Taynuilt, Lochgilphead and Oban welcome the holiday visitor.

Within easy reach during a days motoring are Glencoe and Fort William with spectacularly awesome mountain scenery, Loch Lomond, Loch Tay, The Trossachs, Dunoon and Loch Eck with the famous Benmore Gardens, Easdale and Oban with ferries to Mull, Iona and Staffa.

Locally, one may visit Inveraray Castle, seat of the Dukes of Argyll and experience a tour of the town's 18th century jail.
The Cruachan Hydro Electric Power Station, where visitors are driven into the heart of the mountain, also deserves a visit.
It is possible to cruise Loch Awe on a steam boat and to cruise up Loch Etive to the foot of Glencoe.

Those interested in industrial archaeology will wish to visit the Bonawe Iron Works at Taynuilt which used charcoal produced from the oakwoods around Loch Awe.

The months of May and June are recommended for visitors to enjoy the many beautiful gardens of Argyll which are open to the public, notably Crarae, Arduaine and Benmore which are a riot of subtle colour from the Rhododendrons and Azaleas which flourish there.

Children are welcome and cots and high chairs are available (but note that The Barn House and Stable House are unsuitable for children under 5). Baby sitting can be arranged. No pets are allowed. Initial provisions may be ordered in advance.

Blarghour is situated 10 miles west of Cladich on the B840 south-east Lochaweside road and is approached from the A819 Inveraray - Dalmally road (signposted B840 Cladich & Ford).
