5 Bedroom House in Isle of Luing, Kilmelford
CREAG-an-FHITHICH (pronounced craig-an-eeoch) meaning 'Raven's Rock', is available as a self catering holiday house for a relaxing or busy holiday on the sea shore at Loch Melfort, in Argyll, on the West Coast of the Highlands of Scotland. When the weather is good, the sun shines on the house all day and meals can be taken alfresco on the picnic table, even out of season.

Creag-an-Fhithich is Donald's family home. Alas we do not live in it but in Wales. However his relations are all around. Mrs Bailey, our housekeeper and caretaker, is at the end of a telephone and on a computer for emails, for problems etc. She will also be your point of contact for Check-In. Donald is quite happy to receive telephone calls between 0900hrs and 2100hrs and emails. Being a dinosaur, he does not really understand texting etc. We will help where we can!
