A Dream Rooted in Scotland  

When a couple from England, originally from Scotland, decided it was time for a change of scenery, their love for Scotland and the great outdoors led them to the idyllic banks of Loch Fyne. With their two children having left home, the pair set out to create their dream retreat - somewhere close to water, wrapped in history, and immersed in the natural beauty of the Highlands. 

Their search led them to Lochgilphead Residential an elegant former hunting lodge now thoughtfully converted into three separate townhouses. It was the central main portion of the property that caught their eye and hearts. 

“We fell in love with it instantly. The location, the character - it was exactly what we’d dreamed of.” 

A Thoughtful Restoration 

Embracing the home’s storied past, the couple undertook a comprehensive interior renovation, working to restore its original charm while introducing modern comforts. One of the most striking and essential aspects of the transformation has been the installation of Havwoods’ HW9602 Elst flooring. 

“Havwoods flooring has been intrinsic to this and really creates a great statement throughout the whole house.” 

With its warm tones, elegant grain, and timeless finish, the Elst board adds a cohesive, natural feel that complements the rugged landscape just outside the windows. Whether welcoming guests or enjoying quiet mornings overlooking the loch, the flooring ties the entire interior together with a sense of understated luxury.
