Situation
Cladach is situated in the Mid Argyllshire village of Ardfern which is located on the sheltered shores of Loch Craignish, about 16.1 miles to the north of Lochgilphead and about 24.4 miles to the south of Oban.

Cladach enjoys an enviable position in the village and is situated close to the village primary school and bus stop for the secondary school. The property is also conveniently situated a short walking distance from the local shops and amenities. The village amenities include a well-stocked village store, café, village hall, popular marina and local hotel. Lochgilphead is circa 16.1 miles to the south with a Co-op supermarket, and Oban a little further to the north, with a range of supermarkets (including Tesco, Lidl, Aldi, M&S), which easily cater for a more comprehensive shopping.

Ardfern has a local primary school and secondary schooling is available at both Lochgilphead and Oban. For the outdoor enthusiast, the area is well served by a fine and extensive range of sporting and outdoor pursuits. There is a very active community with many groups, clubs and local events, including a local boat club (offering sailing, kayaking and rowing), riding stables, and a diverse range of active groups (e.g. yoga, Gaelic speaking, music, and children’s Lego club).

Ardfern has a marina and chandlery popular with west coast sailors with a second marina at nearby Craobh Haven. Both offer a perfect base from which to sail in some of the most scenic and testing waters in the United Kingdom. Surrounding mountains and glens provide opportunities, by permission, for rough and driven game shooting, with stalking and salmon fishing, again by permission, available within a short drive on numerous local estates.
