The Bedrooms

All the rooms were renovated and private facilities were installed just after we moved in, in 1998 and we have embarked on a cycle of redecoration. The rooms share the names with the places that have been important to both of us. All en-suite rooms have a colour TV, bath robes, extra toiletries  and an extensive fair trade hospitality tray. We supply fresh milk (not UHT cartons) for tea or coffee. Each room also has binoculars, and a guest folder that we have prepared ourselves detailing all the different things to do during your visit at Dunvalanree.

Room One, Kintail (where Alyson’s family are from)

Room one has been set up for category one disabled but care has been taken to ensure it does not feel clinical like some rooms of this sort. Category one is for unassisted wheel chair users and our room has been inspected as compliant by the Scottish Tourist Board/VisitScotland. It has French doors out onto a small patio furnished with a table and two chairs, popular with guests. It has a double bed and an en-suite ‘walk in’ shower room.

Room Two, Langata (where Alan stayed as a boy)

Room two is a king size double, completely redecorated in 2006. The en-suite bathroom has a shower over the bath. This room enjoys a view across fields to Carradale Bay.

Room Three, Yealand (where Alan’s Granny lived)

Room three can be either a twin or a super king double. The en-suite bathroom has a shower over the bath. This room enjoys a view across the bay at the front of the house to the golf course and the Arran hills across the Kilbrannan Sound.

Room Six, Bunessan (the place Alan asked Alyson for the next dance)

Room six is a king size double at the front of the house so it too enjoys views to the golf course and the Arran hills across the Kilbrannan Sound. It has been decorated in a Charles Rennie Macintosh style and has an en-suite shower room.

Room Seven, Woodcote (where the family lived before moving to Carradale)

Room seven overlooks the bay at the front of the house to the golf course and the Arran hills across the Kilbrannan Sound. Redecorated in 2005, it can be either a twin or a super king double and the en suite bathroom has a bath with a shower.

Rooms Eight and Nine, Achnasheen (where Alyson’s dad is from) and Loch Arkaig (where early holidays were enjoyed)

Rooms eight and nine look out over the back of the house to the garden and the hill that used to be the wildlife reserve and share a bathroom which also has a separate shower. The beds in room eight can be converted into bunk beds and another bed put in when there are three children in the party. We also have a cot available. These rooms are popular with guests on a budget or singles who do not wish to pay the single supplement.

The Dining Room
There are only eight tables, and the room was redecorated to compliment the Art Deco stained and painted glass doors. We occasionally host weddings, small celebrations with 24 sitting down to a five course meal after the Champagne reception. Ask us for details.

The Lounge
Guests have the use of the lounge all day with tea/coffee available. Soon after 7pm however, it is where guests gather, perhaps for a pre-prandial drink, to choose dinner and chat about their day exploring the nooks and crannies of the Mull of Kintyre.
