The ideal family retreat!…read more Arnsheen is an old famhouse available to rent on the Drumlamford country estate, it sleeps up to nine in a double room (en suite), family (double + single) and two twin rooms. We have stayed here several times over the last few years and it is always magnificent. The famrhouse itself is well maintained and always really welcoming. The estate is pretty much in the middle of nowhere so there is little to do expect relax and walk! There is fishing available in the estates Lochs and shooting can be arranged through the gamekeeper on the estate. They also offer a few other smaller properties to rent.

I would heartily reccommend a BBQ on the beach at sunset. As you will see from the pictures, the views are breathtaking.
