Our second stay in this cottage. Its very comfortable and the range of equipment is excellent.Its location means that you can easily access some lovely walks near/around several local lochs, local hills and forests , several lovely gardens and of course Oban is close by. We used local ferry services to walk on both the nearest islands of Lismore and Kerrera.

Lovely holiday cottage, well equipped, very clean and a great stove for those damp evenings.The only downside was that the bedding and towels all smelt of cigarette smoke when we arrived.
