Great location
The property is in a great location, quiet, peaceful with no light pollution, making it possible to see the Milky Way. Not so easy to see Loch Etive though, as the pictures were clearly taken before the nearby trees had grown tall. Stained carpet, curtain and ripped blind were off-putting. The meter cupboard, along with the ceiling heating, are the stuff of nightmares.

Lovely house in a superb location
This is a terrific place to stay. There is lots of space and a plethora of materials on what to do. Oban is 18 minutes away but a little village with a good supply store is only 5 minutes away. I gave checkin only 4 stars as we had not been sent the actual code and location of the key but a phone one call was all that took. One unfortunate blip was the neighbor who was vigorously pruning his garden trees and shrubs and burning them so we could not sit outside in the gorgeous weather because of the smoke. This happened 5 days of the 7. if we are back in the area, we would for sure stay here again. The trip to Iona is amazing and be SURE to book your ferry tickets WAY ahead of time!

We loved our stay here in this special property with views over the trees to the Loch.The weather was superb--hot in the daytime and cool at night. We were into Oban every day for one thing or another but spent most of our time just lounging around in the large garden Highly recommended!!!! Mike Sarah and Lizzie
