Situation
Redwood Lodge is set within the pretty village of Furnace on the western shores of Loch Fyne in Argyll & Bute. Furnace is located on the A83 which connects Inveraray and Lochgilphead. Furnace has a shop/post office, primary school, health centre and a weekend bar in the Village Hall. Inveraray (8 miles to the north-east) and Lochgilphead (16 miles to the south-west) provide an excellent range of further local amenities, shops and professional services. The district is well served by both primary and secondary education with FE/HE College learning centre in the latter. Glasgow, about 71 miles away, offers a full range of higher and further education services, as well as all the cultural and professional services normally connected with a major city. The A83 and A82 offer swift access to central Scotland with the closest rail link at Arrochar (34 miles) providing access to the main west coast line to Glasgow. The village is also served by a bus service offering daily direct connections to Glasgow and to Campbeltown on the Mull of Kintyre; and daily to Oban via Inveraray or Lochgilphead. The locality of Loch Fyne-side offers much in the way of outdoor pursuits including cross-country cycle routes, hill walks and challenging climbs; Brainport Heritage Trail and Solar Alignment just a short walk along the shores of Loch Fyne towards Minard Castle; the famous Crarae National Trust Gardens; events and entertainment in Minard and Furnace village halls; a cross-country drive to Loch Awe; and Auchindrain Museum reached by the River Leacainn Walk out of Furnace. The area is very well supplied with golf courses. The nearest are the 9-hole course at Inveraray and full courses at Lochgilphead, Oban and, an hour and a half away, near Campbeltown on the Mull of Kintyre, two major courses: the Old Tom Morris designed Machrihanish course and the Machrihanish Dunes course, an ecologically sensitive challenge and the first ever to be built on a Site of Special Scientific Interest. Mid-Argyll presents some of the most dramatic seascapes and landscapes on the West Coast of Scotland. Sea, river and loch fishing is easily available, as are a number of organised private and commercial low ground shoots as well as deer-stalking. There are excellent opportunities for boating/yachting on Loch Fyne, leading not only to the Clyde estuary but also to the Crinan Canal across the Mull of Kintyre to the Hebrides and the Atlantic. The Lochgair and Minard Moorings Group offer mooring opportunities for prospective boat owners.

Travel Directions
From Glasgow, proceed west on the M8 to Junction 30 and the Erskine Bridge. Turn left off the bridge onto the A82 and continue for about 25 miles to Tarbet. Then go straight on (becomes A83) signposted for Lochgilphead, for a further 24 miles around Loch Long and the end of Loch Fyne to Inveraray. Continue on the A83, to reach Furnace. On approaching Furnace, be aware of the row of red brick single storey cottages on the left, take first left immediate after the red brick cottages, proceed along the access lane to find Redwood Lodge 2nd house on the right-hand side."
