The location was excellent. The house was well kitted out and had plenty of everything in kitchen living room etc. Had plenty of games to keep you amused. Local hotel was good and within 5 minutes walk. Shop nearby. Short distance to Portavadie and Colintraive that allowed access to ferries giving plenty of places to visit. Had amazing view and will hopefully be back next year.

Clean and relaxing place to stay

Such a calm location. Driveway enough for two 7-seater cars and more. Outhouse with another 2 bedrooms separated from the main house is prefect for us as kids can sleep quietly there, and we don’t need to worry about chatting too loud. Bathroom in the main house is awesome. Not only it is clean but the water pressure is very good.
