Crispie is located on the eastern shore of Loch Fyne, Argyll, one of the loveliest parts of the Western Highlands of Scotland.
Only a two hour drive from Glasgow, the setting of the house is very remote with spectacular scenery and some excellent local walks.
The nearest shops are in Tarbert, which is 3 miles across the loch. By land the nearest shops are in Tighnabruaich. Excellent meals can be had a Kilfinan (5 miles away by car) or in Tarbert and in Tighnabruaich.
