Having an activity break where you are constantly embarking on a new adventure should not mean having to sacrifice luxurious surroundings and a feeling of being pampered - and at The Crinan Hotel it doesn't. This beautiful property stands on the banks of the historic Crinan Canal near to the point where Loch Fyne flows into the Atlantic Ocean. Given its watery surroundings it should come as little surprise that this tiny village in Argyle is something of a hub for yachting enthusiasts, fishermen and sailors, although there are fewer than 100 inhabitants. It is this feeling of peace that you are sure to enjoy as you stay here and admire the views out across to the islands of Jura and Islay as you enjoy a delicious breakfast of Loch Fyne kippers, smoked haddock or locally produced sausages in the morning. This hearty breakfast is sure to get you in the mood to head out and explore and there are plenty of ways to do so here. You could hire a mountain bike and set off for an adventure on two wheels, or you might want to go horse riding instead. There will also be plenty of opportunities for you to take to the water, with short cruises on offer around the tiny isles that dot the coast. Alternatively, why not charter a boat and be a skipper for a day or go out on a thrilling speedboat adventure? Of course, as with many places in Scotland, Argyle is particularly popular with walkers and you can choose between a variety of nature and historic trails that could help you to get to know the area a little better. And if you really want to enjoy the great outdoors then make sure you play at least one round at Machrihanish. This historic links golf course was established in 1876 and boasts absolutely unbeatable views across the sea and of the tiny islands that lie in the water nearby. However, don't let the vista distract your eyes from the game for too long, as this is a particularly challenging course. There are other places to play golf nearby that you could also visit during your stay and wherever you go you are sure to work up an appetite.
