Seal Cove Cabin - peaceful couples retreat, loch side & dog friendly - one only

Seal Cove Cabin offers spectacular views of Loch Fyne and the ancient woodlands behind. Nestled in an idyllic and private location nearby St Catherines, Cairndow, perfect for exploring the spectacular Cowal Peninsula and the West Coast of Scotland.

This cabin, designed exclusively for two, is the perfect coastal escape to experience peace and tranquility. A hidden haven that will take you on a journey with nature while staying in a little piece of luxury. Loch Fyne is the longest sea loch in Scotland. This tranquil spot is located at the top end, allowing for many beautifully calm flat days to swim and enjoy the loch, often with a curious seal passing by.

Built to a high spec the newly built accommodation takes glamping to the next level offering a home from home experience equipped with modern amenities. The open plan living space is light and bright, with a timber floor and floor-to-high ceiling timber cladded walls.

The Elfin kitchen is fitted with a small worktop, sink, under-counter fridge with freezer compartment, featuring a 30 litre combination microwave with grill, two induction hobs and coffee machine. There is everything you need to prepare breakfast, a picnic or evening meal. With an abundance of local produce on your doorstep you are able to indulge in some of the delicious local foods from nearby villages. The cabin features a cosy dining table for two or enjoy alfresco from the deck.

Featuring a luxury king-size bed with quality linen and furnishings for a comfortable night sleep. The windows are situated perfectly for you to enjoy stunning views of the ancient woodland behind and a far-reaching vista of the loch out in front.

The surrounding space couldn't be more special, with stunning water views surrounded by lush woodlands, winding paths and walkways. There are plenty of tranquil spots, not to mention the long walks along the waters edge that will inspire. Guests have access to a fire pit and seating on the waters edge.

The Best Cabin Ever!

We had such an amazing stay here and could not recommend it highly enough. Louisa is an incredible, warm and friendly host and is spectacularly helpful with anything you could possibly need. The cabin is in the most beautiful location, with thoughtful areas to relax on the shore where we saw seals almost straight away. The cabin is gorgeous inside and out, immaculately clean and has everything you could need for a few days away. This was a great base to explore from with some stunning views on the drives out. We will absolutely be back as soon as we can!

Excellent all around

A great place to relax and enjoy the Scottish countryside. Louisa and Peter provided great support and local advice. The cabin is very comfortable even when temperature outside was -5°. Their tech support was also right on the ball, keeping our connection going through some heavy usage periods.

Wonderful stay - will definitely be back

Had an amazing stay for my husband’s birthday. Louisa was amazing. She was so good with our dog ( very bouncy lab) and gave us loads of ideas of things to do. The cabin itself was so clean and cosy and in the perfect location to walk to the top of loch fyne. Looking forward to our next visit and would definitely recommend anyone looking to stay up that way.

Ideal getaway

Beautiful little spot tucked away on the edge of Loch Fyne. Hosts Louisa and her husband were amazing hosts, they went above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. Accommodation was immaculate. Could do with some fly screens to keep the midges out but difficult given the location. Incredibly happy with our stay, we didn't want to leave!

4 day break

Seal cove cabin was ideal, the location is superb. We used it as a base to climb a few munros, Frank our dog loved it too. The hosts Louisa and Peter were great they left us to enjoy the peaceful surroundings but were also very helpful if we needed anything, excellent hosts. We would recommend this property, clean well equipped and very quiet and peaceful. 5 stars

Beautiful and cosy little house

Everything was perfect. The Host is wonderful person, very caring and helpful. The cabin is amazing, it's spacious and cosy in the same time.. It's very well designed so you have all you need, little kitchen where you can prepare your meals, comfy bed and dining table. Everything looks like new and is very clean. The construction of the roof makes the room spacious. I'll definitely come back and recommend the place to all my friends.

Lovely getaway at Seal Cove Cabin

We had a lovely weekend at Seal Cove Cabin recently! Hosts Louisa and Peter were so nice - very welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. The cabin itself was immaculate with everything you need - and the bed very comfy. If you’re lucky enough to get the sun when you come to Scotland the porch is a lovely wee sun trap to enjoy a couple of drinks in the evening. Just beware the midgies! Thanks again L & P - hopefully we’ll see you again! Xx

5 Nights at Seal Cove

Louisa is a fantastic host, really made us feel welcome from the minute we got there which was brilliant. There is plenty of space around the cabin so you feel very private but know that you aren't in the middle of nowhere on your own! Outstanding location right next to the Loch and also near the main roads so you can get out and about. Very thoughtful touches such as the firepit and picnic bench were great to sit on and enjoy a local fish supper. Cabin is well appointed and comfortable (once you get used to ducking for the two doorways :)) with everything you need. Would not hesitate to stay again for a few nights if in the area.

Fantastic cabin, beautiful location

We had an amazing, lovely holiday in Seal Cove Cabin. Louisa and Pete are brilliant, they could not be more helpful and the cabin is excellent. It is really well fitted out with everything you could possibly need, the bed was really comfortable as well. Each cabin has its own fire pit and outside table if you want have a barbecue. The views of the Loch are stunning, we were very lucky to have fantastic weather and spent lots of time on the beach, where another fire pit is located if you want a loch side barbecue. We loved everything about it. Emma their dog is lovely and friendly as well. We really didn’t want to leave and will definitely be back for a longer stay in the future and explore the surrounding area some more. Thanks so much for a lovely, peaceful holiday in a beautiful location.
