Hello, I am Leonard from Lochgoilhead Holidays and I live in the village. I have been welcoming guests to holiday homes in Loch Goil and area for 30+ years. If you have any questions about the holiday home, or area, before you decide to book - feel free to message me. I can help you make the most out of your time in our beautiful location in the west of Scotland.

Close to the village store, and near to the Goil Inn, perfect for a social drink or meal. At the start of a number of marked walking trails and across the road from the loch. You approach the cottage over a bridge crossing a small stream (use of the garden by unsupervised children is not advised) in the enclosed landscaped garden.

Carrick Castle is 5 miles further down the road. Loch Goil is surrounded by mountains. According to a walkers’ guidebook by Tom Prentice, “Surrounded by high hills Lochgoilhead offers classic western seaboard scenery. It feels more remote than all the other areas”. The surrounding hills combine a distinct character with a level of solitude that is almost impossible among the ‘Arrochar Alps’.” Loch Goil is a deep glacial seawater fjord surrounded by high wooded hills. The sea loch’s Marine Protected status supports an array of nationally significant species from the unique Loch Goil Sea Squirt to the sea weeds, kelps and shore creatures, porpoises, dolphins, otters, and fish including the Wild Atlantic Salmon spawning in the River Goil. There is a colony of grey seals on the shore of Loch Goil. Around the loch there is a great variety of birds from the smallest bird in the UK, the Gold Crest to the largest, the Golden Eagle. In the woodlands there are deer, red squirrels, badgers, pine martens and various small mammals and amphibians. Lochgoilhead has a Post Office and small grocery store, a Costcutter mini-market (1 mile away), Bowling Green, Tennis Court, Village Hall and a Dr’s Surgery.
