The Scottish lighthouse 'two minutes' from scenic beach you can rent for holiday
The property is available to book through Airbnb.
A Scottish lighthouse that has been described as "really cute" can currently be booked for a holiday. The accommodation is a short walk from a scenic beach.
Lighthouse Point is comprised of a former lighthouse keeper's cottage located at Toward Point in Argyll. It benefits from a beachfront with shared bay access, and is less than two minutes on foot from the water.
Currently, the accommodation is available to rent out for a staycation through Airbnb. Each night at the cottage is priced at £125, with a minimum stay of two nights.
Lighthouse Point is set out over one level, including a bedroom with a king-size bed and a shower room. There is also a lounge, a fully equipped kitchen, and a sun room.
Lighthouse Point benefits from far-reaching vistas on its upper balcony. It offers views down the Clyde past Bute and towards Arran.
Outside, there is a "good size garden", including garden furniture for al fresco dining. The rear garden by the sun room is fully enclosed, making it perfect for dogs to run around in.
Approximately three miles from the property is the village of Innellan, which features a shop and a pub and hotel. Meanwhile, slightly further out is the town of Dunoon that offers a wide range of amenities.
According to the Airbnb listing, there is a wealth of facilities and activities on offer nearby. These include fishing, bird watching, boat trips, cycling, and sailing.
The property is classed as a 'guest favourite' on Airbnb, meaning it is in the top 10 per cent of eligible listings based on ratings, reviews, and reliability. The accommodation has a rating of 4.93 out of five on the site based on 239 reviews.
One holidaymaker shared: "Had a wonderful stay at the cottage in Toward. The area is just outstanding, peaceful and dramatic. Spotted a dolphin or porpoise from the sunroom.
"The cottage is really cute, had everything we needed and outstanding views. The bed is comfortable; this is one of the most relaxing holidays we have had and will be back sometime."
A second Airbnb user posted: "Our second time staying here and we loved it again. Such a beautiful location, gorgeous wee cottage with everything you need for a short or longer stay.
"Beach walks on the doorstep and short drive (or local bus stops at bottom of the driveway) into local villages and Dunoon town centre."
Although the accommodation has not received any negative reviews from visitors, certain holidaymakers may prefer to stay somewhere with easier access to more amenities. In that case, there are hotels in Innellan and Dunoon that can be booked.
The Osborne is a pub and bed and breakfast in Innellan that overlooks the River Clyde. Elsewhere, the SGE Argyll Hotel in Dunoon features 33 guest rooms and a restaurant.
