foodie heaven.
It’s not all shortbread and whisky.
(Although, theres’s plenty of that too)

But if you’re staying for more than one night, we understand that you might
want to get your tastebuds out and about.

views on views.
Brutalist architecture, rolling hills,
enchanted forests. Sometimes, all in the one place.
This is Argyll & Bute, so we’re pretty sure if you just look out the window
or stroll round the corner, you’ll find something beautiful.
However, here’s a few suggestions anyway.
The Hill House Box
