Close to the house is a beautiful sandy beach (300 yards.) A walk of half a mile across the hill brings you to the head of Loch Tarbert which runs for 8 miles out to the Atlantic. This is a wild part of Jura with great possibilities for walkers: west to the remote west coast with its raised beaches or north to George Orwell’s house at Barnhill and beyond that the famous whirlpool of Corrievrechan. The road north runs through ancient oak woods intercepted with remote beaches and wonderful views across to the mainland. Brown trout fishing is available on a loch 3 miles up the road.
