A tranquil guest house on the banks of Loch Goil

Relax in the wild, reconnect with nature, and experience Scotland’s wild beauty

Nestled in a peaceful corner of the Scottish Highlands, our 7-bedroom guest house offers cozy comfort, breathtaking loch views, and a front-row seat to nature.

Whether you need accommodation for exploring the NC500, walking the Cowal Way, looking for a romantic hideaway, or simply craving quiet time in nature, Lochwood House invites you to slow down, breathe deeply, and reconnect with the wild beauty of Scotland.

Dog-friendly accommodation

Lochwood House is a haven for nature lovers — and their four-legged friends. From your window or the lochside garden, you might spot seals and porpoises playing in the water, red squirrels darting through the trees, or pine martens exploring at dusk. Birdsong fills the air, and the ever-changing views of Loch Goil provide a peaceful backdrop to your stay. We provide pet-friendly stays & warmly welcome well-behaved dogs. With direct access to shoreline walks, forest trails, and plenty of fresh Highland air — you and your dog can explore, unwind, and feel at home in nature.
