Argyll and Bute is arguably Scotland’s most scenic county with excellent road and rail links to the rest of the country. Garemount Lodge is an ideal base for exploring – we’re on the Clyde Sea Lochs Trail, a mile from the village of Rhu (friendly pub, 2 hotels, post office and shop).
Helensburgh. four miles away, has two railway stations (south to Glasgow, north on the picturesque West Highland Line), and boasts many independent shops selling a wide variety of goods. There’s Charles Rennie Mackintosh’s masterpiece The Hill House, restaurants, golf, tennis, bowling, putting, a swimming pool, fitness centre, and a variety of pleasant walks. The Waverley, Britain’s last ocean-going paddle-steamer, sails from Helensburgh to the Kyles of Bute during the summer.
The Loch Lomond National Park with its visitor centre, shops, and tourism attractions is nearby.
Glasgow, one of Europe’s top-destination cities, is 25 miles away. It's a great city for retail therapy, plus there are museums, art galleries, restaurants, theatres, and great Victorian architecture. Glasgow Airport is 20 miles away whilst Edinburgh is an hour and three-quarters drive.
Less than an hour away, are the Trossachs (Rob Roy country) , Stirling Castle, the William Wallace Monument, Blair Drummond Wild-Life Park, and Inveraray Castle (home of the Duke of Argyll).
There’s sailing on the Gareloch, and Shandon Country Pursuits, a short walk away, offers clay-pigeon shooting, quad-biking, fishing, or archery.
From your windows, see sailing boats or even a submarine enroute to the Clyde Submarine Base, half a mile away.
