Mansefield House, Arrochar, Loch Long

How lovely to wake up in the morning and look out over a beautiful Scottish loch? This fantastic Victorian house has original and historic charm by the score whilst maintaining a sense of warmth and homeliness. Situated on the shores of Loch Long and the edge of the Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park Mansefield House is a perfect location for an idyllic rural Scottish retreat. Loch Lomond just 2 miles away.

The house is large enough to accommodate for up to 12 people comfortably given the large and spacious rooms. The generous dining room has a cosy wood burning stove for the long winter evenings and the not inconsiderable sitting room with high, corniced ceilings and cosy wood burning stove has fabulous views out over the loch. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you could need - fridge, freezer, dishwasher - and has a large gas range cooker to rustle up delicious meals for your large party. There's a fully equipped laundry room which doubles up as a drying room in case you get caught in the notorious Scottish rain! There's also a games room which houses a 6ft snooker table and numerous board games for rainy days.

There's plenty of sleeping accommodation to ensure everyone gets a decent rest. There are 5 bedrooms: 2 double en-suites (one with stunning loch views), a double family room with a cot, another double and a twin bedroom with 2 extra guest beds.
