One of the questions we are frequently asked is where people can walk when they come to stay at Rhumhor.

We are fortunate to have walks to suit all levels and abilities on our doorstep.

Walk out of the front door and you can have a gentle walk through the village of Carrick Castle to the Castle itself. The castle is now privately owned but you can view it from the village green which has picnic benches and is an ideal spot to sit and take in the fabulous scenery.

If you are looking for a longer walk then you have a great choice and all present you with wonderful Argyll scenery. Walk through the village and you can take the trail to Ardentinny which for much of the way follows the shoreline of Loch Goil and then later on Loch Long. Ardentinny is known for having the best beach in Cowal and if you’ve taken a picnic it can be a lovely place to have lunch before returning back to Carrick.

The hills behind Rhumhor offer endless possibilities and if you are looking for a Corbett to climb then you can reach Beinn Bheula which overlooks Loch Goil.

A walk from Rhumhor towards Lochgoilhead takes you to the waterfalls of Cormonachan or you could continue and visit the seal colony on the loch.

Those looking for greater challenges will not be disappointed as Loch Goil is overlooked by the Arrochar Alps which have a famous Corbett ‘The Cobbler’ and a number of well known Munros including Ben Ime.

As Rhumhor is a large holiday home you can stay as a group and after your walk enjoy a relaxing meal and evening together in our unique family room with its plentiful seating and large pool table.
