Feòrag is Scots Gaelic for the Red Squirrel which abound in the area, making charming and fascinating neighbours. Stay quiet, top up the nut feeder and sit back and watch!
Sleeping up to six guests, Feòrag Lodge is a genuine log cabin that offers spacious holiday accommodation that is exceptionally comfortable, providing a place to completely chill out and relax.
Offering a perfect bolthole, Feòrag Lodge is ideal for an adventure based family holiday, a romantic getaway, a wildlife watching break or as a comfortable and convenient base for touring the beautiful Cowal Peninsula, the delights of West Argyll or further afield.
Feòrag Lodge is one of a small collection of lodges located on the Western edge of the Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park within the Argyll Forest Park. It is less than a mile’s walk to the celebrated Benmore Botanic Garden with its towering Douglas Firs, giant Redwoods and miles of trails and walks. Feòrag Lodge sits on the edge of mountain forest and Puck’s Glen where six miles of trails offer spectacular views and wonderful walks. There is a vast range of walking opportunities locally from wandering the high tops, to long coastal hikes with the enchantment of deep glens in between. Loch Eck, probably Scotland’s most beautiful freshwater glacial loch lies just a mile away from Feòrag Lodge. The coasts of Loch Fyne and the Firth of Clyde are fifteen minutes drive and there are plenty of outdoor activities available in the local area including mountain biking, fishing, golf, bird/wildlife watching, sailing and photography.
For those happy to travel a little further afield, Glasgow is approximately one and a half hours away and Edinburgh is two and a half hours with their cultural, historic and retail attractions. They are both easy daytrips using Western Ferries from Hunter’s Quay (four miles from Feòrag Lodge) to Gourock, the road from which soon has you on the M8. The beautiful Georgian town of Inverary is forty five minutes away on the west side of Loch Fyne and offers Inverary Castle, the home of the Dukes of Argyll.
The Trossachs and the glories of Perthshire and Stirlingshire are roughly two hours away while the local main town of Dunoon with a wide array of shops is just fifteen minutes by car. Dunoon has an excellent swimming pool and gym and is the home of Cowal Golf Club, a superb course designed by the celebrated James Braid in 1891. Dunoon is also the site of the world’s largest annual Highland Gathering, the Cowal Games, which takes place on the last weekend in August. Less than a mile from the lodge is Cot House services which offers one of the best priced little supermarkets around.
