There is a traditional farmhouse style kitchen equipped with a 4-oven Aga, dishwasher, microwave, food processor and an additional gas cooker. Adjoining the kitchen is a large cool larder with a fridge freezer. A separate laundry has a washing machine, drier and an ironing board.

The team at Castle Lachlan can arrange catering for a night, or even your whole stay, should you wish to relax and let someone else prepare your food.

Drimdarroch Cottage

Nestled away in the Lachlan estate is this recently renovated 4-bedroom self-catering holiday cottage, which sleeps up to 8 people, and can be booked together with the castle, or on its own.

The farmhouse-style kitchen is well equipped and enables guests to cook for groups with ease. The large living room has a dining area with ample space for groups of 8, and is separated from the open-plan kitchen by a breakfast bar.

With panoramic views over Loch Fyne, the cottage is in the perfect location for groups who love all things outdoors.

History
