There is literally everything you could possibly need here, and it's so nice to come somewhere where they've provided hand soap, and some oil, kitchen roll etc. The front room was our favourite part of the house with the fire on at night and plenty of space for everyone. It's a really spacious property with lovely big windows, cosy lighting and a feeling of being in the middle of nowhere. Can also attest to hide and seek being great fun here! If you're unsure whether to book, definitely do! Oban is a fab place with so much just down the road, and the ferries are close for visiting any Islands. We've had an absolute whale of a time and we'd not hesitate to book again. Thank you so much for a great holiday

It has everything and more... than you would ever need for your stay here. So peaceful and relaxing. It is very handy for the town and ferries. We always used our car due to mobility issues and never had any problemss parking in the town. Julie and Dougie are just a call away if needed. Thankyou to you both
