Guests that stayed at this property said
There is no specific mention of cleanliness in the reviews, so it is not possible to provide a score for this category.
The location is frequently described as stunning and idyllic, with a loch-side setting that offers tranquility and beautiful views. The only minor drawback mentioned is the distance from Oban, which suggests that while remote, the location is generally highly regarded.
Guests find the property comfortable, with a well-equipped kitchen and considered decor. The only minor issue raised is the width of the double beds, which some guests found narrower than usual.
The property is praised for its range of facilities and appliances, including a coffee machine and a private beach for swimming and kayaking. Some minor issues were noted, such as the lack of dishwasher tabs on arrival and limited space for toiletries in the bathroom.
The owners' thoughtfulness is evident in the provision of fresh bread and milk, and the attention to detail in catering for guests' needs. While such gifts are warmly received, they are not guaranteed for every stay.

Fully equipped with all your everyday needs. No hidden extras for using logs etc. Located right on the pier with mountain and loch views. We would highly recommend to friends and family. The host could not be more amenable. Thank you so much for a great week, Frank, Sunny & Mia

The accommodation is extremely well resourced and provides a very comfortable and cosy home from home. The access to the private beach and Loch was fantastic for swimming and kayaking. Many thanks to the owners for providing the ideal and perfect holiday home.

The weather wasn't great but was still a great place to retreat to when the rain got too much! The views are wonderful and you really could sit for hours waiting for those elusive otters, and enjoying the quiet and the wildlife. A really comfortable house with lots of creature comforts and considered decor and facilities. Would love to visit again, thank you.
