Walks along the shore or the deserted heathery hills of the peninsula.

* Local golf clubs near Ardentinny:

Enjoy a round of golf amidst the wonderful scenery of Cowal.Cowal Golf Club has an excellent 18-hole course with a fully equipped clubhouse. The course was redesigned in 1924 by James Braid - the legendary Scottish golfer and architect who also created the magnificent King's Course at Gleneagles.

The Club presents a superb 18 hole course of 6063 yards, par 70 SSS 70, which skillfully exploits the wide variety of natural and typically Scottish features to produce as enjoyable a test of golf as you'll find anywhere.

Charges: Adult: weekday – round £24, day £37; weekend – round £34, day £46. Junior: weekday – round £10, day £16; weekend – round £16, day £25.


* Fishing in the Ardentinny area:

Few waters now hold truly wild fish and those that do need conserving. Dunoon and District Angling Club however can offer brown trout fishing in surroundings approaching the ideal, amongst some of the most beautiful scenery in Scotland, and all within 15 miles of Dunoon.

For salmon and sea trout, the Club's river fishing provide a wonderful backdrop. The catches of these fish now appear to be improving after the shortages of recent years which affected most west Highland rivers.

The Club provides angling for 200+ members and the Club waters consist of 3 trout lochs - Dunoon Reservoir (rainbow), Loch Loskin and Loch Tarsan (brown trout) and Loch Eck (salmon, seatrout), as well as Rivers Finnart, Cur, Massan and Ruel for salmon, seatrout and brown trout. All the Club's rivers are "late and spate", ie fish best from June onwards, and need a fair head of water to fish well. For the inevitable times when the brown trout are "off the take" and the rivers are running low, the Club has a popular rainbow fishery where a low rod limit applies and where there is a good chance of a decent fish from those regularly stocked.


* Sailing by Ardentinny:

When it comes to sailing, Ardentinny and the Cowal Peninsula are every yachtsperson's dream. The beauty and tranquillity of the waters of the Firth of Clyde and its many sea lochs make Cowal a truly exceptional sailing destination.

There is a Marina at the Holy Loch which offers competitive rates for long and short term berthing, storage and handling. It has 24,000 sq ft of luxury undercover storage and a handling capacity of 23 tonnes/60 ft. Winter storage is available on clean concrete hard standing.


* Walking and Hiking in the Ardentinny area:

The Cowal Peninsula by Ardentinny is where the Scottish Highlands meet the Firth of Clyde, presenting a breathtaking vista of lochs, glens, sea, mountains and forests. Those who enjoy walking will find a great variety of walking routes and hiking trails in the area.

The number of trails is overwhelming - for example, you might prefer an easy ramble along the Cowal Way, or perhaps the entire 47 miles of it! Or maybe some vigorous hill walking in the Arrochar Alps is more appealing. You might also be interested in Cowalfest, an event dedicated to walking and arts in the area.

“Be prepared to clean !” I stayed at The White House in Ardentinny in July to celebrate a special birthday with friends. On arrival we were met by the owner's housekeeper who was friendly and showed us quickly around the house. We could not really believe what we were seeing and I guess did not want to offend the lady as she was not the owner. The kitchen was modern however previous "guests" had left items of food in the fridge, the counter tops were covered in crumbs and the cupboards sticky and again with leftover pasta, sugar, jams etc. The bathrooms had not been cleaned and although "fresh towels" were there, the overall feeling was that we were staying in a house that someone else had left 2 hours previouslly. The grass area outfront needed cutting and below the decking area there were items left which were unfit for young children to be playing near. The overall appearance of the house pictures on the website is quite misleading as you would imagine this to be a modern well finished property. The cottage has not been finished well, the painting is poor, the ensuite shower leaks and a damp patch is visible on the ceiling. We actually enjoyed our stay as we were a group of friends there to celebrate a birthday and if these things were sorted then the house could actually be very good. The location is peaceful and providing you have a car is good for a quiet time away. We put these points to George the owner who did apologise however rather than ensuring he would attend to these points he merely made excuses which unfortunately would not encourage a return visit from us.
