WELCOME TO THE SAW MILL
The Water Mill, built in 1905 to service the grain on what was the Glendaruel Estate, and subsequently used as a Saw Mill, has been tastefully converted over the years while still retaining its character. Now used as a quality B&B and two self catering options: The Saw Mill and The Joiner's Shop.
The property sits within a beautiful secluded garden, complete with the original Mill Pond and streams that generated the power to service the mill. The Water Mill offers a truly chill-out and deeply peaceful break. When you are ready to venture out to do things you will find its location on the Cowal Way long distance path, complete with a collection service at the end of your days walking, is just one of the things to do in the area.
You enter the Saw Mill into the large and roomy lounge, with beamed ceiling, and an open plan kitchen and dining area. With a pot bellied wood burning stove it is a wonderful space to return to after your walking or touring to in the evening. There is a BBQ and sitting area on the patio which has views over the garden.
