How about Mount Stuart house on the Isle of Bute? About a 20 mile drive to a ferry which takes 5 minutes.5

We visited Dunoon recently & highly recommend visiting the Benmore Botanical Gardens. It's most striking feature, 49 American Redwoods, are located just after the entrance & a large (and very picturesque) part of the gardens is flat so you & your husband should be able to enjoy a leisurely stroll through the gardens.
We'd also highly recommend Puck's glen but there are a number of steps in the trail so it's not the most accessibility friendly.
Finally, the village to Inveraray is a short drive & is a unique, fun & scenic place to visit (the castle & the jail are big tourist draws).
Hope this helps
