Fabulous quirky home in a fantastic location.
Clean, comfortable, warm and very well equipped property with the most amazing views from the lounge across to the Sound of Jura. Yealand House is ideally located for exploring the Crinan Canal, the amazing Kilmartin Glen, Knapdale Forest and Taynish Nature Reserve and beyond...if you can pull yourself away from the views! Very thoughtful 'welcome' items left in kitchen.

Why they chose this property

This is a family home that we had built in the 1980's. My mother's family originated from Largs on the Firth of Clyde and were great sailors. Many of them have ended up in Australia, Tasmania and New Zealand. We love Crinan for the peace, the walks and the wildlife and regard it as a very special place.

What makes this property unique

The spacious rooms with stunning views. good parking facilities. Watching red squirrels, rare birds and deer that come into the garden.
Activities such as painting, swimming, sailing, walking, bird watching, cycling, picnicking. Direct access to the harbor through the garden.
