Architect-Designed Places to Stay in Argyll

In Argyll some places to stay are as much about the building as the view, from off-grid cabins made for the shore to a Baronial house with a Lorimer library. Here the design is half the pleasure.

Inside The Drury.

The Drury is a Victorian villa of grey granite and sandstone on Dalriach Road, high on the hill above Oban, looking over the town's roofs to the bay, Kerrera and the hills of Mull. Its name comes from dreurie, an old French word the owners say means love and friendship, and the house is made for gathering: eleven bedrooms for up to 22, seven and a half bathrooms and a dining room that seats 24.

The two cabins stand more than 100 metres apart on their own stretch of shore.

Kabn is two off-grid cabins for two on the shore of Loch Fyne, near Inveraray, and each one frames the loch its own way. Shio has a Japanese-inspired slatted glass gable, and Teru a glass corner that opens up the whole view. In both, the king bed faces the water, and there's a wood-burning stove for the evenings.

Inside Stormhouse South.

Stormhouse South is an architect-designed house for two at Portnacroish in Appin, tucked into the trees above Loch Laich with a direct view across to Castle Stalker. It's cedar-clad on the sides and glass across the front, and set so that nobody overlooks you. Inside, the polished concrete floors are heated, there's a log burner, and the Next125 German island kitchen has wooden doors, a gas hob and a Siemens coffee machine.
