The self catering accommodation is the converted byre of our 200 year old croft house and a sense of this history still settles over the cottage and its surroundings. The accommodation has recently been refurbished to a high standard, and the views from all the windows are delightful. Although part of our own house, the accommodation at Moorcroft is self contained with parking almost to the door.
Moorcroft is set in over five acres of grounds with picnic tables, seats and a summerhouse. To the rear is a large garden, a meadow with an ancient cairn and a shady picnic area to sit and watch the wildlife, or the sun setting over Mull. To the front, over the minor road is a grassy bank with paths and a track leading down to a private area of the shore of Loch Etive. From this lovely spot, with its stunning views to Ben Cruachan, you would be very unlucky not to see cormorants, oyster catchers, a heron, a family of ducks, or the bobbing black head of a seal.
A Post Office and shop, restaurants and pubs are available at Connel (2.5 miles); and Benderloch (3miles) has a garage, hardware/toy/camping/outdoor clothing shop, a Post Office and grocers, a café with second-hand bookshop and a sandy beach to explore.
The Bonawe Road is ideal for easy walking or cycling, or if you prefer something more strenuous, a track from Benderloch leads up to the summit of Beinn Lora which, on a clear day, will reward you with a breathtaking view.
Moorcroft is a perfect base for exploring this fascinating area.
From our Visitor's Book: "We have holidayed in this area for over twenty years and this is the finest self-catering we have lived in. The well-furnished house, immaculately clean and well maintained, a joy to stay here... "A more delightful cottage could hardly be imagined - so comfortable & warm & with such a wonderful garden & views." "Moorcroft is by far, the best self-catering cottage we have stayed in - you have thought of everything..." |
