Barfad
Holiday Cottages Tarbert Argyll Three cottages, lovingly converted from
an old stone barn, now make an ideal base for a quiet
or busy holiday. The cottages are set in 100 acres of farm and woodland with
1.75 miles of its own coastline on the shores of beautiful
Loch Fyne, a sea loch
with beaches
and grand scenery. The peace and quiet will make you forget
any stresses and strains of ordinary life.
Just 2 minutes
drive or 15 minutes walk through our beautiful woodlands, is
the bustling fishing village of Tarbert. With shops and
restaurants around the harbour and all manner of craft
afloat, it makes a picturesque scene to enjoy. There are
quite a few craft and souvenir shops that you can browse,
some with facilities for afternoon tea.
On the small hill
above the village is the substantial ruin of Tarbert Castle
with lovely views across the bay to Barfad Farmlands, and
also across Loch Fyne and Cowal.
During the summer, the "Waverley", the world's last oceangoing paddle
steamer visits the pier at Tarbert. Just along the road a ferry runs
to Portavadie on the other side of Loch Fyne. There are other
ferries within easy driving in the general area which can take you
to the islands for a day trip.
We have outlined many
things to see and do in our local area page. However, many will find
the peace and quiet of Barfad enough with walks in the woods,
discovering the varied wildlife including deer, buzzards butterflies
and many unusual plants.
