**** Pet-Friendly B&B on 10 Woodland Acres with Historic Gunpowder Mill Ruins
Accommodations & Grounds
Powdermills B & B offers 3 spacious superior king rooms, including the Campbell Room with a kingsize bed and en suite bath. Each room has double-aspect windows or French doors overlooking the lawn toward Loch Fyne, plus direct access to the decking. The property sits on 10 acres of private woodland and gardens, with the ruins of 19th-century gunpowder mills on site for guests to explore.
Pet-Friendly Amenities
The hotel provides a welcome package for dogs, plus pet baskets and bowls in the room. A secure, gated garden area allows dogs to roam safely off-lead, and walking routes through the grounds are accessible directly from the property. The resident boxer dog often accompanies guests on walks through the forest trails on site.
Dining & Breakfast
A complimentary full Scottish breakfast is served each morning, ordered the night before from a tick-list menu that includes poached eggs, hash browns, and locally sourced ingredients. Guests are welcomed on arrival with tea or coffee and homemade cake, scones, or shortbread, served on the decking or in the sun lounge. Breakfast is cooked to order and presented with a view of the garden and Loch Fyne through large windows.

The property's extensive gardens offer tranquil walks with loch views, and the thoughtfully appointed rooms, particularly the excellent shower pressure, contribute to a truly restorative stay.
