Seacliffe, our Victorian Villa, sits right on the shores of Loch Fyne on Scotlands Secret Coast, facing west to superb sunsets and magnificent views. From the garden step directly onto the pebbled edge of the loch and jetty.
Tardis like the house is ideal for families and large groups, with plenty of space and amenities for 9-14 people. We have an abundance of living spaces; a Sitting room, Living room, and Snug each with their own warming fireplaces/ stove. Our well-equipped kitchen, kitchen table and large oak dining table are ripe for cooking and eating with lots of guests (we have a 14 place setting dishwasher for all the washing up!)
Seacliffe sleeps 9 in beds; a super king, king, 2 twins and a single, and there are double sofa beds in the Snug and Living room for more guests. Our beds are sumptuously soft and warm and come with electric blankets. Our loch facing rooms make the most of this stunning location.
Our self catering house has plenty of amenities for everyone and is child friendly. Earth aware we have underfloor heating from air sourced heat pumps and electricity from pv panels on the roofs.
We also have a fantastic collection of Scottish Art hanging on the walls, a well stocked library and varied selection of CD’s.
There’s lots to do in the breathtaking natural beauty of the Cowal Peninsula. Outdoors you can enjoy exciting times walking, cycling and hiking, or you can spend a leisurely day exploring the vibrant arts scene, ancient sites and magnificent Inveraray Castle across the river.
Many a lovely eve can be spent at the two local pubs, just a stroll away. The Clachan the lively village local or the award winning Creggans Inn with its superb cuisine and pub grub. For more dining a short drive leads to creative Scottish cooking and fresh seafood at the superb Inver Cottage Restaurant.
You can stock up at the well-provisioned Post Office a couple of doors down and sample the delightful home cooking in the tearoom.
The story goes;
Seacliffe was the late great Bruce Douglas Pettie's getaway. Home to some legendary parties including the annual Guy Fawkes bonfire bonanza.
Bruce was an entrepreneur with a passion for the advancement of democracy. We promised him while he was dying that we would put this house to good use in supporting democratic innovation and creating a world that works for us all.
As Bruce Arms, Seacliffe covers her costs for the year with commercial lets. The weeks we have left are offered as Democracy House to people who apply with world changing ideas and the need for space to brainstorm.
