Seal Bay Cottage - Four Bedroom Villa, Sleeps 8 | Villa in Kilfinan

On an elevated position above a bay and the shoreline of Loch Fyne, stands this south-facing purpose-built holiday house which enjoys stunning views across to the Mull of Kintyre and Arran beyond. It is located a few miles along a private road in a secluded part of what is known as “Argyll’s secret coast”. Built in 1999, it is tastefully decorated throughout with practical touches, making this an ideal venue for smaller groups of family and friends to enjoy a coastal break.
the south-facing front of the house has been designed to make the most of the sunshine and light, with the large sitting room with french windows, opening out to an extensive decking area with summer furniture The house flows well, with the dining room next door, which then leads into the fully equipped kitchen, allowing for ease of use.
the indoor spa room complete with hot tub also enjoys these amazing views, and it is not difficult to see why this is so popular with all ages There is one bedroom with en-suite bathroom at ground level, whilst the other three bedrooms, with their en-suite facilities, are on the floor above. With ramp access to the front, a ground floor bedroom and all rooms easily accessible on the ground floor, this is perfect for a member of your group with limited mobility. Set in a beautiful location, this is an ideal spot to just watch the sunset from the decking, get children out with their bucket and spades on the beach or to have family and friends to get away for a week.
the large sitting room is located at the front of the house with french windows opening out to the extensive decking area beyond The wood-burning stove would normally be the focus of the sitting room with the sofas surrounding it and the TV, but it seems the chairs get turned the other way to face the sea and to enjoy the views from the windows.
next door is the spa room with hot tub, which is kept at 36 degrees centigrade, which also opens out to the decking area Here you will find the comfortable outside furniture, where you can dine al fresco in the summer months. Additionally, there is the boot room, which is perfect for storing all your outdoor footwear and where you can find life-jackets for trips out on the boat.
the dining room is a light, airy room to the front of the house with amazing views, decorated in pastel blues with a nautical and seafood theme The dining table and matching chairs are ideal for comfort and for creating a stylish environment. The kitchen opens out from the dining room, and here you will find a modern fitted kitchen with breakfast bar and plenty of work-top space. Cooking is all-electric, and the fitted tiles reflect the continued seafood theme. A utility room is a next door with washing machine and tumble dryer. In the summer months, dining can take place on the front decking, and a BBQ is also provided.
