Fabulous Round House On The Glorious West Coast Of Scotland, Dunmore

Argyll. Sleeps up to 2

The Drum is a stunning elliptical house with a sloping roof and high ceilings, clad in charred larch with orange window frames and painted wooden floors. Designed by architect Roderick James and built by a crack team of smashing local chaps, the Drum is a perfect bolt hole for two. It has a wood burning stove and a big squashy velvet sofa, floor to ceiling triple glazed windows and is nestled in woodland on a small estate (complete with castle) and just moments from the sea.

The house is open plan with a birch clad interior and beautiful in its pared-back simplicity, complete with everything you'll need to rustle up feasts for you and your loved one, maybe sampling the catch of the day bought from the fishmongers in the nearby village of Tarbert. (Ceramic hob, electric oven, microwave, dualit kettle & toaster, nespresso coffee machine and under counter fridge / freezer) There is a dining table & chairs.

The smart shower room has a walk in rainfall shower, heated towel rail, soft fluffy towels, dressing gowns, slippers & there are gorgeous Laura Thomas toiletries.
In the curved bedroom there is a king sized bed with wool duvet, crisp white bedding, a chest of drawers and space for hanging clothes.

Outside there is a barbecue and Jotul fire pit, garden chairs and table. The garden is unfenced and very much a work in progress.

PLEASE NOTE THERE IS NO TELEVISION ! there is a Roberts radio, speaker and wifi. Vodafone 4g also available in the area.
