Location
Surrounded by stunning mountain scenery between Oban and Glencoe, in Argyll in the west of Scotland.
Glenlochan Scotland
A mountainside retreat with incredible views
On a forest-clad mountain in the West of Scotland, Glenlochan has the most amazing views. Full-length windows, bifold doors and a terrace sweeping the length of the house are designed to make the most of them. Whether you’re gathered for dinner, relaxing in the lounge, or off to bed, the mountains are your backdrop.
Glenlochan is a late 1960s one-off. Its upside-down design, remote controlled Lutron lighting and modern glamour echo the set of a James Bond film. Spend time together in the lounge, with its Italian Flexform furniture and bifold doors that can be thrown open to the terrace. Relax with a whisky and good book in the warm embrace of the library, play the piano, or hit the well-equipped gym. Enjoy memorable mealtimes in the stunning open-plan kitchen-diner glass box and, out on the terrace, wind down in the hot tub. Wherever you are, those Highland views soothe your spirit.
Outside, explore 40 acres of gardens; find the orchard, wander through though the woodlands, cross the bridge over the pond, and discover the stone gazebo. On warm evenings, cook a barbecue on the terrace before heading inside for movies in the cinema room.
The bedrooms, like the living areas, are tastefully decorated and make the most of the mountain views. Dyson hairdryers, high thread count bedlinens and bathrobes, and luxury, organic toiletries make you feel as pampered as if you were in a Swiss spa.
Glenlochan is close to the West Coast, Glencoe and many beautiful lochs and forests. The perfect setting if you love nature, outdoor pursuits and bonnie Scotland!
