Ashfield is a 500 acre, family estate on the shores of Loch Sween in Mid Argyll. We can offer our visitors launching and mooring facilities if they wish to bring a boat, sea and hill
loch fishing, lovely hill walks including good forest tracks. We are in a National Scenic Area where there is an abundant variety of wildlife - seals, otters, deer and many beautiful birds. It is a wonderful area for a holiday, whether you want to be
energetic or just relax and absorb the gentle colours and shapes of the surrounding countryside.
We have 3 self-catering cottages, one which is a former steading attached and one detached and one wooden log cabin.

Woodland Bothy
Log Cabin 2 bedrooms, sleeps 4. f you are looking for seclusion in a truly beautiful
and private place, our Loch Sween log cabin might be just the place for
you. Situated on it’s own in 45 acres of mixed woodland, it has
1.5km of coastline, private
jetty, slip and boathouse suitable for small boats. There are woodland
walks and two small connecting ponds which are frequented by a healthy
otter population and a lawn which is grazed by the resident deer. With stunning views across loch Sween to the Taynish peninsula
which is a nature reserve and the Isle of Danna and beyond to the Isle
of Jura it is a perfect place to look out for seals and watch the
sunsets which are amongst the best in Scotland.
Sea fishing from the rocky shores has been very successful and
salmon and sea trout fishing rights come within its boundaries.
Boat trips can be arranged. A private access track of
200yds (not suitable for low slung sports cars) takes you completely
away from the public road and on starlit nights no light pollution
interrupts the night sky. This attractive well built cabin is warm and cosy with
a woodburning stove that heats the water, so a hot bath is always on the
agenda. There are two
bedrooms, one double, large and the other with bunk beds, small and a
bathroom. the sitting room and kitchen which are open plan have double
glazed windows on three aspects, giving panoramic views up, across and
down the sea loch. There is
a gas cooker and refrigerator and all the usual crockery and cutlery etc
and it is comfortably furnished. Lighting
