Scandinavian Hot Tub – Cologin Farmhouse

We have been so focused on dealing with Covid 19 that we've forgotten to share some of our good news stories from Cologin! Well at long last Cologin Farmhouse now has new additional decking to house a beautiful Scandinavian wood-fired hot tub. Shipped from Sweden this big wooden outdoor tub holds a lot of water. It does take quite a while to get up to temperature so best combined with a BBQ on the terrace whilst you wait. You can book the optional extra of it being filled...

We’ve seen a big change in holiday booking patterns over the 25 years we’ve been welcoming guests to Cologin. In recent years the trend for shorter breaks has really taken off and is now an established vacation which has been adopted by families as well as couples, seniors and business visitors. We want to ensure that Cologin can accommodate short breaks regardless of the season and this year we’ve decided to reduce our minimum stay during the peak summer months to reflect this growing trend.

Rain, Rain Go Away – Come Again Another Day!

There’s a Scottish rain poem which most visitors to the west coast will come across at least once during their stay as it hangs in many pubs, guest houses and receptions across Argyll. I know it as the Argyll Rain Poem and here it is: It rained and rained and rained, The average was well maintained: And when our fields were simply bogs, It started raining cats and dogs. After a drought of half an hour,  There came a most refreshing shower; And then the queerest thing of all, A gentle rain began to fall. Next...

The winter refurbishment programme is already underway now that our Hogmanay guests are heading home and we're delighted to have received such great feedback from the many "Cologin virgins" who will hopefully be back again next December to bring in the bells with us and welcome 2020. One of the...
