Many places of interest are within easy reach, including Kilmartin House Museum and the Ancient Standing Stones and Circles. Forest trails and hill walks amidst the Inverinan and Knapdale forests beckon.
Lochgilphead, with its variety of shops, restaurants, swimming-pool and facilities for golf, is 5 miles away. Here, the Castle Riding Centre runs highly enjoyable riding courses, and the Kilmory Woodland Park boasts an Iron Age fort, bird hide and lochside views.
A little further afield, Inveraray has a truly memorable setting, the brilliant white arches of Front Street reflected in the still waters of Loch Fyne.
