Quiet getaway
The property was in a lovely quiet area, nice walks for the dogs and us. It was clean and cosy. Only issue was the fridge...very small considering the nearest large supermarket market we found was quite a drive away. There is a little shop a short walk away but it wouldn’t be able to keep you going with dinners for a week.
Only other issue was WiFi, I didn’t have the option to add it on when booking the property and to get access for the week it was £30 because of that. Felt a little expensive.
Other than that, would highly recommend if you are looking for a quiet getaway with family/friends/dogs.

Relax by the Loch
Great relaxing week. Lots of great scenery and forest walks in this quiet remote area. Oban and Lochgilphead all accessible by a short scenic car journey though.

Perfect place to get a way
The place and log it self its in the middle of peace and quiet location.Gret time for me and my family. Was sweet and short, 3 night with hot tub .I will say this place dreserve 5 star.Bed really comfortable a lot space for 4 addults and 2 kids. Fridge freezer a bit small,if you go there for a week will not be enough space,bit the closest place you can get what you need its 15 miles a way.We will definitely go back there different time of the year .

A pleasant and overall welcoming stay with beautiful scenery
The property was big and warm as seen in the pictures online. The cabin was mostly clean and cosy, with everything required for a comfortable stay. Would have appreciated provided towels and more equipment/facilities to have fully enjoyed and made use of the barbecue.
Would recommend the cabin and area to friends as it's easy to get to, private and lovely for a quiet escape.
We thoroughly enjoyed the board games which were a bonus :)

Not worth the drive
Extremely remote location with a windy 30 minute drive back to cabin site, but after arrival, it is anything but remote. Cabins are on top of each other and we had a lovely view of the car park. Inside the cabin was as expected, but the description and location is not particular to the cabin you receive and was quite misleading.
