(Image: Watermans) The original farm buildings were erected in the mid 1860s as a pair of traditional rural cottages (plus lean-to byre).

(Image: Watermans) In the 1930s a retired sea Captain (Captain Black) undertook a significant extension/expansion of the larger cottage with two aims.

(Image: Watermans) He wanted to create an imposing villa (now Benview House) with commanding views of the sea to the east and to allow for a large drawing room on a scale that could accommodate his passion for social gatherings and ceilidh dancing.

(Image: Watermans) The current owners purchased these buildings around 10 years ago and have since spent a substantial sum to extensively upgrade and renovate the entire property and garden up to the present standard, winning a 5-star AA rating and Scottish B&B of the year along the way.

This incredible home is further enhanced by carefully retained Strathclyde Arts and Crafts style period features.
