HAWTHORN (sleeps 2)

Hawthorn is a luxury Riverside Lodge for two in the Argyll Forest. Wonderful scenery, rich with wildlife, a perfect place for romance. Visit nearby 'Pucks Glen' or 'Benmore Botanical Gardens & Cafe', dine in style in Dunoon or at a local inn, read a book or just relax. Take home some fantastic memories.

Cosy stay

I had a nice stay hawthorn was very clean with everything you need for a few days away. Very friendly hosts. I enjoyed seeing the red squirrel run past a few times! I know the area quite well and have previously stayed at Pucks Glen lodges and looking forward to staying again next spring/summer when the weather gets better again.

This was my third visit to Hawthorn Lodge. The Lodges are well equipped, clean and comfortable. Their location is ideal for me as I have family in Dunoon but can also get to places like Strachur and Inverary in less than an hour. Above all though I value the peace and privacy of the properties. Very relaxing.

We returned from our midweek break feeling extremely relaxed after an incredible break staying in Hawthorn cabin.

The cabin itself was extremely clean, top to bottom, there was nothing to fault. Everything you would need is provided ie cooking, towels, etc.

We had extremely warm weather so thoroughly enjoyed the sun trap decking area, although the cabin living area was extremely warm. We appreciated the fan was provided. My girlfriend loved doing her morning yoga on the decking to the sound of the stream.

The only fault is the cabin is close to the road, we didn't notice much but you could hear lorrys passing at night.

Overall would recommend the cabin, we will look to return.

We are delighted you enjoyed your stay and hope you make it back again soon. Yes, the riverside location is very relaxing and there’s lots to do in the area. Road is normally very quiet, but with the ‘Rest & Be Thankful’ pass being closed (due to landslide) there was an increase in the usual traffic seeking an alternative route, and the odd logging truck passing by early morning. Thank you for giving us an excellent rating :)

A week of tranquility

The chalet is located in an excellent location to be away from it all, yet close enough to local amenities. Accommodation is ideal for a romantic break away or ideal base to explore the amazing scenery of Scotland.
Everything you need is provided and great little welcome pack mmmm the honey was yum ha ha.. great views of river and little red squirrel(TUFTY) popped along to visit in mornings. I even had a Male pheasant walk by balcony..
My one and only regret was!!! I had to go home.... highly recommend quality accommodation and everything you need and more on hand.
P.s. little tip for fuel...the petrol station 2minutes away is 4p cheaper per litre than in dunoon...great if your touring the local area... enjoy your stay as much as I did... thanks to Stephen & Liz the owners

Cheers again
Stephen

Many thanks for your lovely review, and we are very pleased you enjoyed your stay. This year has seen a number of visitors to the garden, but usually one has to be up and about quite early to spot the more elusive creatures. Deer, Red Squirrels, Jays, a Heron, a Sparrowhawk have all been seen recently. Hope to see you again. Stephen & Liz :)

Nice and relaxing with a cozy log burner for the cold nights.

Had a lovely couple of days in Dunoon. The lodge was small but perfectly formed! It had everything we needed, it was clean and comfortable with the cutest woodburner, which kept us very cosy. The location was great for the botanical gardens and pucks glen. I would definitely book again.

Had a wonderful weeks stay,home from home. Comfy, cosy and clean.Fantastic view and although next to a road, traffic noise not an issue. Bed was very firm, but that could just be us. Visit to The Wistlefield Inn is a must, steak cooked on the rock mmm. This is a real find,and definitely worth a visit.

We were lucky enough to experience the Scottish "Summer" in our time at Rashfield Sheilings and this made for a glorious week of opened French doors, allowing the sights and sounds from the gentle river passing by or the occasional wildlife visitor.

This was a much required relaxing and non-stressful week which the surroundings and the facilities of the lodge more than played their part, from the very comfortable bedding to the welcome basket of goodies left by the owners.....fantastic.
I cannot say enough positive things about this lodge and it's owners.

On a side note, we visited a restaurant in Dunoon called "Wined and Dined". An amazingly skilful chef who creates masterful dishes. If you are like us and appreciate quality dishes then this is certainly worth a visit....

We didn't spend as much time here as we would have liked, it was the day after our wedding so we were not around much. But we really liked the place, very clean, cozy and warm. Also, it was nice being so close to the river, and with Pucks Glen just over the road.

Lodge is cosy, spotlessly clean and well kitted out. Pretty view of the river and surrounding hills. Super comfortable bed and good shower. Good communication from hosts.

There is a little bit of traffic noise as the lodge is just off the main road but the road isn’t busy and it’s not so bad once you’re inside. We probably noticed this more because everything else about the place is just so tranquil.

Surrounding area is stunning with plenty of nearby lochs, hills and forests to explore.

The cabin was cosy clean and had all amenities you would wish..... only real disappointment was the log burner which was ineffective in heat terms and instructions for use not easily to follow
However due to other heating within the cabin this was not a major issue the cabin was warm and comfortable

We appreciate your comments and excellent rating. The wood burning stove can be difficult to use to those unfamiliar with lighting fires, but once set, using twigs, and newspaper, or fire-lighters the stove is actually highly efficient for the space. The 'boatman' stove was indeed designed for small spaces, such as canal boats. Responsive electric panel heaters are provided for those more comfortable with modern facilities.

Beautiful and Peaceful

I booked this holiday for my son and his partner, this was their second visit this year to Rashfield Sheilings. Their first visit was back in March, and they enjoyed it very much... they felt then that the only improvement would be the weather... although they were never kept in... So they were delighted with the weather they had in August... and once again with the hospitality, and the accommodation, they had a great week...

Lovely cabin. If I were to be picky it may need a new hob at some point soon and perhaps it could do with a couple more pots and pans but overall it’s excellent. Clean and very well decorated.

The Sheilings are delightful, just perfect for a couple to get away from the everyday routine. It's amazing what is fitted in to the place considering the size. Stephen and Liz are thoughtful hosts and work hard to provide all that you need & extras to make it special. Highly recommend this to anyone who enjoys the natural beauty of Scotland.

Lovely place and the small cabin was ideal for a quiet weekend away. Fully Equipped with anything you would need perfectly proportioned in its quiet riverside location. Pucks Glen just out the back was beautiful and great to get out and explore even though the weather was not as good as we would have hoped.

Throughly enjoyed a two night stay in Rashfield Shieling helped by some beautiful September sunshine! The chalet is very compact and comfortable with everything you need for a lovely relaxing break. The little wood burning stove is great although we didnt need to use it but I can imagine it would make the whole place very cosy.
It is an ideal situation close to great walks, cycle routes and Benmore Botanic Gardens which are well worth a visit.
Not that impressed with Dunoon however and I would suggest making sure you have food with you to cook on occasions as its certainly not a gourmet place!
All in all lovely place, would recommend it and we would go back!
Thank you for a lovely stay.

Rashfield Sheilings are stunning little log cabins finished to a very high standard. Exceptionally clean and very cosy and warm. The only downsides are that they are near a main road which gets busy in the day but nightime there isn't much traffic at all.

Being near the river, the evening does attract the midges so sitting on the beautiful decking with a drink in the evening becomes less appealing. But if you plan for this and take candles and spray, and dont expose too much skin you'll be fine, issue is you dont know about the midges until you get there.

The cabins are very comfortable but the bed I had was quite bowed on one side, the bed slats were damaged and needed replacing ideally as it made for uncomfortable nights

The other thing to mention is that you should take a soap or handwash for the bathroom. There isn't any which i thought it could have used because if you are there for a week you dont really want to buy a brand new bottle of handwash, they could provide that.

Offseason you are expected to pay for electricity used which i thought was a little weird but it doesn't amount to much if you're not wasteful.

The family who own it seem really nice but quite private they dont bother you unless you need something which they will do their best to help with. The guy popped in shortly after check in with a little map of the area and a few words on what there is in the area which was very cool - nice guy.

It is a beautiful location and these log cabins are in really great location for stuff to do, there's a few improvements listed above but overall you very very good. We stayed as a couple 2nd week of Sept 2014 and would deffo go back.

Thanks for your review. Sorry about bed. Yes, on investigation we found a broken bed slat. Now fixed. Although officially we are classed as self-catering we do keep a supply of toiletries for our 'bed and no breakfast' guests staying for just one night, and towels are available too. Best wishes

Perfectly Peaceful

I booked this lodge after finding it on trip advisor. The location, lodge and amenities were exactly as described and were in immaculate condition. The lodge itself is very new and exceptionally well furnished. Stephen was very welcoming and the instructions for departure were very straight forward. I had an immensely enjoyable stay and there is nothing that I could fault, I will definitely visit again. A great wee place for a peaceful and relaxing stay, well worth the money.

I had a wonderful time at Rashfield Sheiling South. Everything about it was excellent. I do not have a bad word to say about the place. It was quiet and peaceful and in a lovely setting. I would go back anytime.

Just returned from our stay at Rashfield Sheiling .every part of the stay was excellent .the cabin was superb everything as described . A perfect place for couples to stay. Cabin was spotless, everything you need to cook, bed was so comfortable goose feather quilt comfy pillows such a good place to sleep after a day in the fresh air. We brought some peanuts ,put them on the bench along side the cabin and hey presto red squirrels .i would recommend this place to everyone real good value for money. I have read some reviews where they say the midges are a problem , yes they are here but not in the numbers of some places we have stayed, and they definitely don't spoil this fantastic place for a relaxing break, and after all it's the west coast of Scotland so midges come with the territory. I would recommend a vist to the near by Botanic Gardens , the walk to the "view point " is well worth the uphill stroll
This is a quality accomadation in a quality area.
