We stayed at Achabeg for a fortnight and had an amazing time.The house has an elevated position with wonderful views looking down Loch Sween towards Jura, is very spacious and comfortable, and is well equipped for self catering.Communication with Jon was very easy and a few teething problems were sorted out very quickly.Achabeg is one of the best holiday homes that I have stayed in.The house is only 20 minutes from Lochiplhead for groceries and petrol along a very pretty single track road. The whole area is really interesting to explore from the Knapdale Beaver Centre to walks along the Crinan canal to the ancient history of Kilmartin Glen.Recommended.
