Fabulous apartment in beautiful surroundings. Caroline and Paul were perfect hosts responding promptly to any issue we had. The little extras provided were lovely unexpected, but really appreciated. The recommendations of where to go were really helpful as although we had been to Scotland before, we had not been to the west coast so were blown away by its beauty, the friendliness of the locals and the food. Can not wait to return.

We stayed here for our anniversary and it is a magical and special place. The view over the mountains is breathtaking and the property itself was comfortable, stylish and immaculate. We had everything we needed and more. This is a short drive to Oban and is perfectly placed for wonderful seafood, walks, Highland drives and island hopping. The hosts were lovely and considerate. Thank you for a wonderful experience. We highly recommend.
