There is a large timber deck with outside furniture and a BBQ.
Siskin is situated about half a mile from Lunga House and the Estate Office along a fairly level and easily driven private track. There is a gate into the wood just before the cabin, but this is only closed for the occasional movement of farm animals. The track continues for nearly a mile but serves only one ancient farmhouse but from then on, there is only wild and beautiful coast and countryside for miles. Find hill forts and rock carvings and a long walk to a chain of hill lochs where fishing for brown and Loch Leven trout can be found. There are two other cabins in the wood, neither visible and only occasionally occupied.
The local area is mostly grazing for horses which makes good walking for folk with dogs Parking for at least two cars is available beside the cabin and more visitor parking can be found at the entrance gate where a small level patch of grass can be mown on request for a tent for children. You can book riding at the nearby stables and enjoy the most wonderful boat trips to the Inner Isles from Craobh Haven close-by, they really should not be missed!
There are busy yachting pubs at Craobh Haven and Ardfern which serve excellent food but require booking, especially at week-ends. It is only 4 miles to the famous Arduaine Gardens and adjacent hotel, and the area has a host of historic attractions and several good restaurants. The exceptional number of side roads and little villages to explore, the museum at Kilmartin ,ruined castles, the Crinan Canal all make opportunities for adventure. Oban, half an hour away has all the shopping anyone could want as well as local seafood and ferries to the Isles. Beach 1 mile. Pub and restaurant ¾ mile.
