First time in a pod and was very impressed. Location is really quiet just outside Oban. Great for walking and as a base to go farther afield if you want. Accommodation was very clean, well equipped with everything you need plus extras such as a Bbq and a fire pit. Even a few little treats for your arrival which are always appreciated. There is a full size double bed and powerful shower.We had a great time and would highly recommend. Perfect for couples.
