Braleckan facing south with sweeping views to the Cowal Hills is a substantial stone-built Victorian house standing detached in a large garden (child's swing and chute)and fenced from the side of the Leacan Burn which tumbles down from the 1500ft high hills separating Loch Awe from Loch Fyne.
It was across these hills that, for many years and not so long ago, cattle-drovers herded thousands of head of cattle over the Muir of Leckan towards the markets and pack-horses transported charcoal to the nearby village of Furnace on what came to be known as 'the much frequented path'. The bustle and commotion then near Braleckan must have been tremendous, but nowadays the peace of this lovely countryside is restored so that you can wake to the song of the wild birds and the rushing stream and enjoy rewarding walks over the same paths. Inveraray, the nearby small town, is most attractive and still a useful crossroads for visiting such magnets as Oban, Fort William, Loch Lomond, The Trossachs - but there is also the whole Mull of Kintyre to explore to the south and wonderful scenery and history in the immediate vicinity without travelling too far. The village has a pub and village shop.
Braleckan, is now divided into three comfortable, completely self-contained houses - each with its own entrance, picnic-bench and parking space.
Heating is by open-fire and electricity. Bed-linen and towels are INCLUDED. We regret no pets. No smoking within the property.
