Beach House Pods

The surrounding scenery – with woodland and hills as well as the coastline – lends itself to all sorts of outdoor activities. For starters, there are walking routes galore, from short strolls to more challenging hikes, and plenty of places to ride bikes too. Those of you with your own paddleboards or kayaks can launch from the beach opposite, and there are kayaking tours available from Toward (five minutes’ drive). The gorgeous views from Inellan Golf Club (five minutes) make it a lovely place to play a round. For a bit more adrenaline, try the powerboat tours from Wreckspeditions (15 minutes) or the quad biking, archery and shooting activities at Quadmania (half an hour). Time to slow the pace a little? Visit Dunoon’s Castle House Museum (10 minutes), wander around the waterfalls at Puck’s Glen (20 minutes) or explore 120 lush acres at Benmore Botanic Garden (20 minutes).
