Cragowlet House East - B-listed Grand Victorian property (1200 sq. ft)
Cragowlet has been completely renovated over a period of 6 years and the work was completed during the summer of 2014. The renovation involved repair and restoration of most of its original features. During this restoration the opportunity was taken to upgrade the kitchen and bathrooms to modern standards whilst retaining the feel of a grand Victorian property.
The house contains three full sized bedrooms with one twin and two doubles one of which is en-suit. The bathroom contains a bath as well as a separate shower with a 1 meter square shower tray. The lounge has 8 foot high bay windows with views over loch long. The kitchen/dinner also has views over the loch and full dining facilities for six people.
Cragowlet Cottages were built mid 1850's as a tenement of four flats for Thomas Forgan and designed by Alexander (greek) Thomson. Alexander Thomson was an eminent Scottish architect and architectural theorist who was a pioneer in sustainable building. The building and surround is category 'B' listing from Historic Scotland.
The flat possesses magnificent views of the confluence of Loch Long and The River Clyde and beyond to the Cowal peninsula and the isle of Arran. Cragowlet House East retains its defining architectural features with ornate plaster cornice work, 'period' fireplaces, plaster corbels, architraves, skirting and sash & case windows.

A beautiful home with lots of character and amazing views.
We really enjoyed our stay, the house is well equipped and the views are amazing. It was a little further out than we expected - but that's our fault. Communication was excellent with the host. Thank you!
The views from Cragowlet are superb! We liked the high ceilings and the way in which the property was furnished. The sitting room is particularly pleasant. The neighbours are very friendly. The one down side is that it takes a bit of time to get from A to B on and off the peninsula. However, we had a very lovely time, enjoyed the glorious sceneries and would recommend this property.
This house was just incredible in a beautiful setting. We stayed there with our 2 girls who loved the spacious front garden with uninterrupted views of loch long. From the log fires in the large living room, luxurious bathroom, high spec kitchen and 3 cracking bedrooms. We will miss it all. We can't thank Brian and Nancy enough, They went above and beyond to help us out when we needed a house to stay in. Thank you.
