Single Parent Holiday in Scotland 

Discover the Scottish Highlands on a single parent group holiday based in the picturesque village of Kirn on the Cowal peninsula.  There is much to do here in August, from exploring the charming coastal town of Dunoon, to going on family walks in the magical Argyll Forest and enjoying the spectacular scenery of the Scottish Highlands and Scotland’s first national park, Loch Lomond and The Trossachs.

Accommodation:

We have reserved a Victorian villa, a short walk from the beach in the Scottish village of Kirn on the Cowal Peninsula in the West of Scotland. Our beautiful period property, surrounded by countryside, is full of traditional warmth and charm retaining many of the original features. The property offers 10 well-appointed bedrooms, and all of our guests will have their own ensuite bathroom. There is also a large kitchen, spacious dining room with beautiful views of the golf course and countryside, and three lounges, each with a TV and either DVD player or WiFi/Netflix. Wii console, children’s toys, books and DVDs are also available. There is also a roofed terrace where our parents can enjoy an evening drink whilst the kids play in the garden and try spotting the local wildlife. Situated in a quiet residential street, just a short walk from the waterfront and shops, our villa is an ideal base for exploring the many attractions of this part of Scotland, and the wide child friendly promenade is perfect for a stroll to the neighbouring harbour town of Dunoon.

Your Single Parents on Holiday host will help you make the most of your single parent holiday in Scotland by organising visits of local attractions and days out at the national park, with its mysterious lochs, rushing waterfalls, lush woodland, cragged peaks and hidden glens.

About Cowal Peninsula, Scotland

Kirn and Dunoon

We will stay at the peaceful little village of Kirn, only a short walk from the waterfront and 1.5 miles from the coastal town of Dunoon with its Victorian Pier, Dunoon castle, wide promenade, and restaurants and pubs serving local produce. Dunoon is located on the beautiful Cowal Peninsula offering great natural diversity, with towering Munros to the north and mellow scenery and sea lochs to the south. Dunoon is Cowal’s major town and home to the stunning Benmore Botanic Garden. The region offers endless opportunities for outdoor lovers, including scenic hikes, kayaking, fishing, and sailing.

The Cowal Peninsula, Argyll Forest and Loch Lomond and The Trossachs

The Cowal Peninsula is in Argyll and Bute in the west of Scotland and at the gateway to the Scottish Highlands. The north of the peninsula is covered by the Argyll Forest Park, much of which is part of the beautiful Loch Lomond and The Trossachs, Scotland’s first national park. Here you will find stunning scenery with spectacular waterfalls, enchanted forests, craggy peaks, and peaceful lochs. The forest also provides endless opportunities for outdoor and nature lovers, from hiking to watersports and mountain biking.
