FERRY INN COTTAGE - situated on the beautiful Rosneath Peninsula - is a unique and historic property designed by the renowned architect Sir Edwin Lutyens in 1895 for Princess Louise, daughter of Queen Victoria. Originally intended as the ballroom, it is now a self contained house, in four acres of private grounds and sitting right next to the Gareloch. After extensive restoration, during which its domed / vaulted ceiling was revealed, Ferry Inn Cottage has been returned to its original configuration of a large, open space - 16 metres long and 6 metres wide. It is zoned into living, sleeping, dining and working spaces. It has two beds - one a vintage mid century modern four poster (with new base and new mattress) which is 4 feet 6 inches. The second is a new sofa bed - a small double (4 foot) which, aside from integral mattress has a good quality 4 inch topper. The second bed can be made up, if required. There is a separate good sized and well equipped kitchen and bathroom with a walk in shower. The Cottage has central heating and a wood burning stove and you will be instructed on its use. Guests will supplied with one basket of wood with further supplies available either from the host, at cost, or from the local Coop. Now furnished with a selection of good quality contemporary and vintage furniture, including a few 20th Century design classics, this is a stylish and unique space. There is a small desk, a full sized dining table, set into a bay with views across the grounds to the loch. A new Samsung ’Serif’ television. Plenty of books, a few games and jigsaws and a vintage 1950s record player with a selection of vinyl LPs.

It is the perfect location for a peaceful break but, for those who enjoy walks, there are plenty of good ones close by or you can stroll along the shoreline outside the cottage. You can take day trips to Oban, Glasgow or Edinburgh. Largs - a seaside resort - is a ferry and bus ride away.
