Uninterrupted views of the Argyll Forest Park and Arrochar Alps. Loch Lomond 2 miles.
Imagine waking up in the morning and looking out over a beautiful Scottish loch? This fantastic Victorian house has original and historic charm by the score whilst maintaining a sense of warmth and homeliness. Situated on the shores of Loch Long and the edge of the Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park Mansefield House is a perfect location for an idyllic rural Scottish retreat. Loch Lomond just 2 miles away.
The house is large enough to accommodate for up to 12 people comfortably given the large and spacious rooms. The generous dining room has a cosy wood burning stove for the long winter evenings and the not inconsiderable sitting room with high, corniced ceilings and cosy wood burning stove has fabulous views out over the loch. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you could need - fridge, freezer, dishwasher - and has a large gas range cooker to rustle up delicious meals for your large party. There's a fully equipped laundry room which doubles up as a drying room in case you get caught in the notorious Scottish rain! There's also a games room which houses a 6ft snooker table and numerous board games for rainy days.

The house stands above the loch in beautiful, private, mature gardens, which lead down to the loch. Uninterrupted views of Loch Long and the Arrochar Alps from either inside the house or the garden.
In the heart of the Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park, activities such as walking, climbing, golf, fishing, and various watersports are all on the doorstep.
Arrange to have archery tuition in the gardens, or your very own Highland Games. Guided canoe trips can be arranged from the House. Mountain biking in the area is second to none. Activities for children of all ages abound.
