The Area

Douglas Park Bed and Breakfast / Guest House is set at the gateway to the beauty of Argyll with many places to visit and a diverse and outstanding array of scenery. Cowal, our part of Argyll, is not only a place of beauty and tranquillity, is packed with fascinating places to visit and lots of great activities for all age groups.

The annual events calendar takes in world class highland games, food and walking festivals, concerts and community ceilidhs. The history of Cowal can be seen in the many historic houses, gardens, castles, churches and museums which dot the landscape provide a fascinating insight into this unique part of Argyll, Scotland.

Cowal is also a great place for families; it is very relaxing to enjoy the sea shore with a picnic or take a walk in the woods and hills. But there are also plenty of opportunities to try lots of activities; horse-riding, golf, sailing and mountain biking are all on offer as well as visitor attractions, holiday parks and facilities which provide fun family activities. We have three golf courses locally and always happy to help with arranging tee off times .etc. Bring your bikes, Kayaks and paddleboards. Secure storage in our garage.
