Loch Goil is renowned for its excellent fishing. Whether you like to fish or just soak in the stunning scenery while out for a walk. Why not hire a boat from Loch Goil Cruisers just along the road?
Its not many houses that can offer direct sea access from the bottom of their garden but at Rhumhor we can do just that! For wild swimming enthusiasts to paddle boarding and canoeing fanatics you can enter Loch Goil from our loch side garden. Once the loch based water activities are over nothing beats keeping the water theme going by having some rest and relaxation in our hot tub whilst enjoying the stunning loch and mountain views. It’s the best way to relax and unwind!
The area also offers some truly wonderful walks for all ages and abilities starting either at the house or just a short drive away. From trails in the Argyll Forest Park around Loch Goil to the long distance Cowal Way which passes through the glen. You will find find challenging Corbetts such as Beinn Bheula and The Cobbler and the famous Munros of the Arrochar Alps.
The Carrick Loop walk, starting from the house is a gentler walk, not to be missed and offers stunning views of the whole valley as well as over Carrick Castle - where Mary Queen of Scots stayed on her way to Inveraray Castle.
For a more relaxing time outdoors there are many picnic spots starting right on your doorstep! Enjoy alfresco eating from one of our 5 picnic benches (including the 8 person one on our Loch side Garden) or from under the shdow of Carrick Castle just a short walk away.
There are excellent local mountain biking trails and road cycling on both local forest & estate roads but also on quiet single track roads. Go west to Loch Fyne on paths, single and double track, go north climbing high above the Rest and Be Thankful then head south from the picnic area on to Ardgartan Forest or Arrochar. You can also follow paths on either side of Loch Goil itself and round to Loch Long.
Rhumhor truly is also a haven for the enthusiastic birdwatcher with a huge variety of birds including hawks, buzzards, eagles and owls who are all known to nest here. The area is also home to amazing wildlife such as red squirrels, otters, pine marten to name but a few!
For nature based land and sea activities within the Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park, Rhumhors location is hard to beat!
There are also many excellent day trips for all the family to enjoy. Inveraray, Oban, Loch Lomond and Dunoon are all within easy reach for a day trip and Glasgow is only just over an hour away if time in the city is needed!.
