Drimsynie Estate, Est. 1967, is the original site for Argyll Holidays. Just over 50 years ago a man named Douglas Campbell and his wife Jean sold the first Caravan to be parked in a field within Lochgoilhead, and so the story of Argyll Holidays began.
Lochgoilhead is home to several stunning hiking routes including to Donich Waterfall and Ben Donich, as well as Glen Mhor to Pole Straights. If you prefer to cycle, we have routes for all preferences. For road cyclists we have several easy to moderate scenic routes and more difficult inclines for those of you who enjoy a challenge! For mountain bikers Lochgoilhead boasts a range of terrain and gnarly trails in stunning natural scenery. You can ride along through the mountains, forest, or by the side of the loch. The weather conditions can vary so be prepared and make sure you have all your gear packed! For spur of the moment or family cycles, Drimsynie House Hotel can provide bikes and equipment for hire on park.
For avid hikers and hill walkers we have routes for every level of ability and trails packed with history. Why not follow the circular walk through time on the Old Military Road and Glen Croe from the Rest and Be Thankful viewpoint? You can even walk up to the F29 bomber aeroplane which crashed into the side of Stob na Boine Druim-fhinn, a hill in Succoth Glen, near Lochgoilhead, 1949, spreading wreckage in the valley between Stob na Boine and Beinn Tharsuinn. Local Leonard Gow compiled a booklet named ‘Loch Goil Trails’ A local’s guide to Lochgoilhead and Area, which makes for the perfect guide to the local walks and trails.
If town life is more up your street the site is close to Helensburgh, Inveraray, and a 40-minute drive to Dunoon. The neighbouring towns are home to a range of local shops and services. Dunoon is home to West Coast Cinemas who offer exclusive discounts to Argyll Holidays customers through our friends of Argyll Scheme. Not to mention a range of charming local cafes and stores to browse!
Fancy an evening of traditional Scottish cuisine? Why not pay The Goil Inn a visit? The friendly old coaching inn has been pouring pints and serving up grub to locals and holidaymakers alike since the 70s. Nestled in the heart of the village of Lochgoilhead. With live entertainment booked throughout the year, the cosy pub is the perfect setting to enjoy dinner and a show while admiring the stunning views over the Loch Goil.
If you fancy something a little different, Drimsynie Estate is home to The View Bar and Restaurant, appropriately named after the breath-taking panoramic views that can be seen from the dining area and bar. The restaurant cooks up a number of delicious meals from seafood linguine, juicy steaks and outstanding curry, to more simple pizza and pasta dishes. Each made with care in our on-site facility, take away available! If you are looking for a lighter bite and a coffee, we have a range of Costa drinks to chose from onsite as well as fantastic cocktails from behind the bar for those nights of live entertainment.
If you are looking for an evening of cocktails and live performances, Our Rob Roy suite is perfect for functions and special occasions. Overlooking the entertainment lounge, the Rob Roy Suite is the perfect place to relax with a cocktail or two in the evening. There’s a family atmosphere, allowing you to socialise whilst enjoying the live entertainment - and a well-stocked bar!
Drimsynie Estate is home to many species from deer, and seals, to herons, red squirrels, and pine martins! The best time of year to spot red squirrels is in Spring when they are out getting their dreys ready high up in the trees, or the Autumn when they’re gathering food for the winter. There are a few key gardens and woodlands that are regarded as popular spots! Ardkinglas Woodland Gardens, and Benmore Botanic Gardens are good places to see a red squirrel. Not to mention they are Friends of Argyll partners, so all Argyll Holidays customers are entitled to a discount on entry!
If you are more inclined to seek out aquatic life, Argyll Holidays has partnered with Loch Goil Cruisers to provide free fishing rod hire to any Argyll Holidays customers looking to hire one of their fleet of self-hire boats to explore Lochgoilhead’s shores, spot some seals and catch some trout! If you prefer to hit the water in other ways, Carrick Farm offer discounted Kayak, canoe and paddle board hire to Argyll Holidays customers and are located just a 5 mile drive from the Drimsynie Estate opposite Carrick Castle. They also run laser clay pigeon shooting if you fancy trying something a bit different during your stay!
Carrick Castle itself is a popular tourist spot for visitors, the14th-century tower house sits on the west shore of Loch Goil on the Cowal peninsula and is located between Cuilmuich and Carrick, 4 miles south of Lochgoilhead. It was originally a Lamont stronghold, and Robert the Bruce recovered the castle from the English in 1307 but passed in 1368 to the Campbell Earls of Argyll. Even Mary, Queen of Scots stayed here within its walls in 1563!
'The Drimsynie Estate within Lochgoilhead is rich in history itself. What is now known as Drimsynie House Hotel, was originally built in 1860 for Ronald Livingstone, a Liverpool merchant. The design of Drimsynie House is thought likely to have been the work of James Smith, a Glasgow architect. Today the building mainly serves as a venue for function rooms and staff accommodation as the main hotel extension was built in 2018, the renovations bringing in some new additions such as the View Bar and Grill, and our Sequoia Spa, should you fancy a little pampering! Rusty’s Funhouse is also onsite adjacent to the pool, sauna, steam room and jacuzzi. The Funhouse offers indoor fun for all the family including arcade games, soft play, ball pit, badminton court and go carts! The Go Active desk is also based here for any activity bookings guest may wish to take part in including zorbing, archery and sea scooters!
Set in the beautiful valley of Lochgoilhead, the surrounding beaches, forests and farmlands make for a serene and action-packed holiday destination for all.
