Some times when you book a place to stay for a week with friends you are taking a bit of a leap of faith hoping that the location, environment and " feel " will match what you imagine in your mind's eye. We were extremely pleased with the house, while not overly large, we never felt cramped. The front observatory room was constantly in use, for reading, chatting and watching the amazing tides. The furniture was great for lounging. While we intended to use this location to explore the Oban and surrounding area we only left the immediate area of North Cuan and Luing island once. Instead we took the opportunity to explore within 5 miles as we found there was more than enough to do. A great relaxing week, aided by friendly locals, amazing scenery, abundant wildlife and some friendly ferry dogs.
The house itself was nicely decorated and well laid out, with enough room for the 4 of us to spread out. (In fact we contacted our hosts, who were great by the way, about sourcing some of the wall art to find out that our host made them).
Our hosts left us a stocked welcome basket and unlike some rentals, little extras like a full jar of coffee, sugar and tea plus extra rolls of toilet paper and other little necessities which reduced the need to head to a store to get.
The photos do not do justice to the area. Thank you J and C for assisting us when the need arose.
