views up the Glen to the East and to the South. Boating and fishing on
the loch are a mere stones throw from the house. The Estate road runs
below the house and Eastwards for 4 miles, which is easy cycling for
children, further on is the 16-mile hill track to Oykel Bridge.

Indeed the house is beautifully constructed and situated slightly above the loch giving spectacular views of the loch, glen and hills through its large spacious windows.
