About this property

2 minute walk to sea. There is plenty to explore in the area and a good place to walk is 2 miles away at Ardmore point with unique rock formations, sea cliffs, fishing and is a notable bird watching area. Also worth a visit is Dumbarton Castle and Rock, 5 miles away. Dumbarton Castle has a longer recorded history than any other castle in Britain! Cardross has its own golf course, established 120 years ago, as well as a bowling, tennis and football club. Local attractions include Ardardan Estate Working Farm with a nursery and tea room and nearby Geilston Garden. Looked after by the National Trust for Scotland, Geilston is a delightful garden and is typical of the small country estates on the banks of the Clyde purchased by merchants and industrialists in the 18th and 19th centuries. Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park is very close - it's just 6 miles to Balloch on the south shore of the loch. This beautiful area has so much to offer, both on and off the water.

fab place for a get together

Beautiful house with lovely garden, definitely recommend for a large group. James was very accomodating even offering us use of his personal space for a couple of our lads prior to official check in time. The housekeepers were there when we arrived and were super friendly and helpful. Absolutely loved staying here, would definitely use again if in the area. Plenty of equipment for cooking, fridges a plenty so no worries regarding storage of food for large groups, We didn't find we were short of a single item! Highly recommended

A lovely holiday

Very good, we enjoyed our stay very much. When we had a problem of our own making the housekeeper was very helpful and kind. Seven members of our family were very comfortable during our stay and friends were able to come and have a dinner with us one day.

Great family holiday house

Perfect for a family get away - there were 10 of us aged 8 to 80. Lots of space and a lovely big garden Young ones loved being able to walk to the 'beach' and playing hide and seek in the house. Great having 2 fridge/freezers and a washing machine (children!)

About the host

Hosted by james mcmanus

I was born in Helensburgh have lived in the area for over 30 years. I have 3 children in their 20's one in the USA and two in Scotland. My mother lives in Dunoon. Currently I live and work in London. The area has always been a fantastic playground for me with everything that I need, Glasgow is easy to get to by train or car, the airport is nearby, it's the gateway to the Highlands beside loch Lomond. Cardoss is very much a highland/lowland village and I love going down the beach to skim stones or walk out on the mud flats at low tide.
