The Ruin - Sleeps 2
(plus 2 youngsters if required, in the
separate Byre)
|
SORRY - NO PETS
|
A while ago, The Ruin was the tumble-down shell
of a croft house last inhabited about 100 years
ago, hence its name. Now the croft house and
adjacent byre have been lovingly restored by us
into delightfully comfortable holiday
accommodation whilst retaining the character and
charm of the original buildings. No other signs of
habitation can be seen from The Ruin: just sit
back and watch the wildlife from this stunningly
beautiful location on the shore of Loch Sunart.
Within the ancient stone walls, charming
accommodation for two has been created in a
largely open plan layout - the notable exception
being the bathroom, which has a short shower
tub/bath.
The sleeping area with its double bed is one step
up from the main floor area and can be hidden
behind dreamy voile curtains.

The kitchen is comprehensively equipped,
including a gas hob, electric fan oven,
dishwasher, fridge, bread maker, slow cooker etc.
Visitors will enjoy the high comfort level of the
full under floor heating and the added bonus of
the wood-burning stove in the living area while
relaxing on the L-shaped sofa. A small selection
of books, CDs and DVDs can be enjoyed using the
CD/radio/cassette player and TV with Sky Freeview.
The stone terrace provides a very pleasant spot
for watching the numerous varieties of birds in
the area and for occasional al fresco meals using
the gas barbecue provided - with the added bonus
of a chimenea to ward off any evening chill.
For the more energetic the clothes posts double up
for a badminton net and there is also a croquet
set.
The Byre - seven metres away from the house -
incorporates the utility room, housing the washing
machine, tumble dryer and freezer at the rear of
the building. At the front is a small bed/sitting
room with double bunks and is equipped with a
TV/DVD combination.

This room is to accommodate two youngsters if
required; giving parents some well deserved peace
and quiet. The byre also has a shower room with
loo and basin.
Parents must satisfy themselves that their
youngsters will be happy sleeping on their own,
and would treat the property responsibly. A child
alarm operates between the two buildings, which
both have smoke alarms and emergency lighting.
We hope you will want for nothing during your
holiday, except to return to The Ruin or to one of
our other houses. In order to ensure our high
standard of cleanliness and maintenance we let The
Ruin on a Sunday-to-Sunday basis. We hope that
this is not inconvenient for you.
