Remarkable location for panoramic beauty, privacy, location and shelter, in peaceful woodland with views over waterlily-studded loch DESCRIPTION Drumbeg House was built by a former owner of the estate. The stone built house sits by “the lily loch” of Ruighean an Aitinn. The loch runs into Eddrachilles Bay which lies below the house and high above sea level, insuring against any possibility of flooding. Drumbeg House was extensively renovated in 2009.

Each room is wired for TV, telephone and Wi-Fi and there are cat cables throughout. The award winning Belgian Kreon lighting has been used throughout the house and is particularly effective on the oak staircase. All the wood in the house including the bookcases are made from mature light oak. The massive fireplaces are of Clashach sandstone.

On the ground floor of the house there are four separate areas; a large disabled toilet with shower, a large dining / public space, a library sitting room and kitchen. The kitchen is a cooking enthusiast’s dream with numerous Gaggenau appliances. The four spacious bedrooms on the first floor were created with streamlined contemporary bath and shower rooms fully finished with Italian tiles.
