Escape to Rockhill,
a traditional picturesque guesthouse run by the same family for over 45 years, with self
catering cottage and bungalow, and approached by a drive bordered by rhododendrons, past
our lochan full of brown trout. Nestling by the water of secret Loch Awe, overlooking the
Cruachan range of mountains and surrounded by fields, hill and woods. Here peace and quiet
means just that. We may not have gold taps and four-poster beds but we do give real value
for money with guests returning time after time for the comfortable, informal, happy
atmosphere.
Rockhill is a 200 acre Hanoverian Horse Stud and Sheep Farm on the
south side of the loch with 1200 metres of free trout fishing. Priest Island is within its
boundaries. Situated half a mile from the public road, Rockhill offers away from it all
atmosphere in a delightful setting, yet is easily accessible. A truly wonderful spot for
walking, climbing, bird watching, fishing, boating, horse riding, golfing, touring. Many
boat trips, castles and gardens. Nearby are Glencoe, Kintyre Peninsula, the Trossachs,
Mull and lona. Loch Awe is over 60 miles of unspoilt shoreline with sheltered bays, ruined
castles and enchanted islands. Boat can be hired or bring your own (fisherman). Any fish
caught can be cooked for your breakfast or frozen to take home. Clothes dried if staying
in guesthouse. Water skiing, sailing can also be enjoyed. Cars can go down to waters edge,
with a safe bay for swimming. Public phone in front hall of guesthouse. Rockhill has been
run by the same family for over 45 years. There is a good Pub - Restaurant - Games Room at
the top of the drive with a ceilidh each Friday night.
Dogs. This is a dog lovers
paradise as well behaved dogs are most welcome but must have up to date vaccination.
Regretfully we do not take children under 9 in the guesthouse unless
the whole house is booked by one family. However, children of any age, are most welcome in
the self catering accommodation.
