The Blacksmith’s Bothy was completed mid-2010 and is the third and final Far Horizons Cottage.

It stands apart from the other two, facing west across the Kilbrannan Sound to Kintyre, and was constructed on new foundations on the footprint of the original Blacksmith’s Bothy, which had a working forge and anvil downstairs and sparse living accommodation above. It is now a comfortable and charming holiday home, sleeping four, with furniture and fittings in oak, a lounge area with leather furniture, and has a wood-burning stove in addition to efficient electric heating. 

The lounge/dining area is entered through a double oak door with glass panels, leading from the entrance hall, and a circular oak table with four chairs stands by one of the sea-facing windows.  The bathroom is also on the ground floor, with fitted shower in the bath, WC, wash hand basin, heated towel-rail and extractor fan.  The compact, fully-equipped kitchen has LPG gas hob, electric oven and microwave, fridge with icebox, washer/drier and dishwasher, cooker-hood and extractor fan.

The impressive oak spiral staircase rises from the rear of the lounge area to the first floor landing, off which are the two comfortable bedrooms, one double (with king-size bed) and one twin, furnished also in oak, with a snug upstairs toilet with washbasin situated between them.

The Blacksmith's has its own enclosed garden with sitting-out area and washing-drier, approached by a flight of steps to the side of the cottage.

Please note that the changeover day for this cottage is a Friday.
