Benmore Byre is a beautiful barn conversion set within the grounds of a working farm near Dunoon and is located within the Loch Lomond & Trossachs National Park. This semi-detached cottage has been lovingly restored from the ruins of an old barn. The building has wonderful original features and is full of character; thick stone walls, some narrow slit windows, coombed ceiling upstairs and all the interior wood is Douglas Fir which has been harvested from the grounds of the farm itself, then hand crafted to achieve a high standard of detail.

Another great stay at Benmore Byre very clean and comfortable and walks with our dogs from the door around Loch Eck.. you will need to travel a little further for more lovely walks.

We highly recommend the Benmore Byre.
We highly recommend the Benmore Byre. The photos do not do justice to the beauty of the glen. Just a few mins walk from Loch Eck, the amazing Benmore Gardens on your doorstep, and so many gorgeous walks close by. Well-situated for exploring Argyll's many wonders.
