Fearnach Bay House is located in a peaceful secluded corner of the owner's 1000 acre private estate and working hill farm. It has been built and furnished to an exceptionally high standard and offers everything you could need for a luxurious, relaxing and peaceful holiday.
Within a short stroll from its own private shoreline, this delightful holiday home is in an enviable position overlooking the yachts moored in Loch Melfort. The house enjoys a southerly aspect and has the magnificent Melfort Hill standing behind it which offers breathtaking views over the nearby islands of Scarba, Luing, Jura and Islay. The house is also within walking distance of the renowned “Shower of Herring” restaurant, allowing you to have a rest from cooking and truly relax!
The estate is a haven for wildlife and there are many tracks and pathways just waiting to be explored on foot, taking you along the shore, through the woods and over the hills. For those who enjoy fishing, there is a small rowing boat for guest's use which can be launched from the slipway directly in front of the house, providing guests with the perfect opportunity to fish for their supper!
The estate also offers guests the opportunity to enjoy complementary trout fishing on two of the estate lochs and fishing on a further twelve lochs is available in the vicinity (permits can be purchased at the local Post Office).
There are plenty of other outdoor activities to enjoy in this wonderful area. The world renowned championship golf course at Machrihanish is just over an hours drive and there are two other courses closer to home: the challenging 18 hole course at Oban and the 9 hole course on Seil Island (both within half an hours drive). Why not experience the thrill of galloping along deserted beaches, or exploring the hills of mid Argyll on horseback.
Alternatively, take an exciting excursion by boat through the Corryvreckan whirlpool (the third largest whirlpool in the world) where you may see grey seal, red deer and golden eagles or visit one of the spectacular and interesting gardens.
Oban is the port from which ferries sail to many of the islands of the Inner Hebrides. Iona, Mull, Staffa and Fingal's Cave are all within easy reach and make great day excursions where you can enjoy magnificent scenery.
