    There was no freezer, but for a few nights it was OK using just the fridge.

    It was a very spacious mobile home in the middle of the countryside, with a little terrace. The views from the mobile home were spectacular, and there was a beach 10 minutes walking, where we watched a beautiful sunset. There's a restaurant on the grounds, which is useful. The host was very nice and gave us many recommendations for restaurants and grocery shopping.

    I suspect this is more to do with the local going rate for accommodation. This was part of a three stay trip we had planned, and the cost for the time we stayed was a little higher per night than our other destinations. Was within budget hence we booked it, and as I say probably related to the local market forces.

    Lovely surroundings and with a restaurant on the doorstep. Lots of local suggestions for places to go in Oban. A very knowledgeable introduction to our stay.

    Nothing. Tiny tip. Oven gloves would be a handy little addition.

    Spacious. Well equipped with all items we could want. Excellent restaurant just steps away. Easy short drive to Oban. Host helpful and friendly..

    Nothing, but you do need a car to reach here

    We stayed for two nights and traveled to Fort Williams area and Glenfinnan Viaduct. The property is at a very scenic location and lots of space to sit in the open and walk around. Ample of parking space. Iain (Owner) is so nice and took good care of us. The area/village is quite scenic with a small shopping place, cafes and lots of parking space everywhere. There is an amazing beach as well just about 1 km from the property.

    It would be great if there was a bath mat and oven mitts. Otherwise, spot on!

    Ian and Meng were very welcome. Ian was knowledgeable and helpful, giving us lots of useful tips to make the most of our time in the area. The beach at Tralee is just beautiful, and only around ten minutes' walk from the property. The beds were comfy and the living room was very cosy.

    For our family of six we had two accomodation units - the "Barn" and the mobile home. Both were comfortable and well equipped. Barn was more spacious and with a washing machine, but the mobile home had beautiful open view towards the fields and mountains arround. Cottages are located in the quiet green fields not far from the beach, between Oban and Glencoe with lot of spots to visit in the area. The cottages are also well equipped with games and books in case of the bad weather, that we luckily didn't have. And finally, our host Iain was very kind and helpful.

    Beautiful farm setting, sunset so pretty, in harmony with the nature. Host Iain is so friendly and very helpful, he is knowledgeable and obviously knows his business. Wish we had more time to chat. The cottage we stayed was very homey and spotlessly clean. A big pity that we arrived late and left early for our stay, all of us (including our 2 teen children) wanted to stay longer.

    Lots of cobwebs. Only one bedroom made up even though in our pre booking email we instructed 4 adults. Smaller than we thought. No table for us all to eat at together.

    Great location. Restaurant next door was amazing. Short walk to beach.
