    We stayed at Tulamain for a week over Easter and can’t recommend it enough!The house was really well equipped and had everything we needed to make our stay really comfortable. The weather was changeable to say the least and even though we came prepared, it was nice to dry our things and put the log fire on in the evening. The local shop and pub are just a few minutes walk down the road in Ardfern village and we had some great dog walks in the local area.Other must do activities include pony trekking in Lunga (over the hill); wildlife boat tours from Easdale; beaver trails in Knapsdsle; Kintail bird of prey experience and a visit to Inverary jail - the escape room was great fun!We are looking forward to returning again soon!

    Has a really fantastic week at Tulamain for New Year. Amazing house. Super location and very well equipped. There were only four of us and one dog but there would be plenty of room for 6. Spotlessly clean. Ate at local pub twice and went each day for a couple of drinks. Good food and dog friendly in the bar. Would highly recommend Tulamain. This is our 7th new year break in Scotland and this is the best Holiday home yet.
