Great Visit

We had a great time. Its a huge house, perfect for large families or several families. Large balcony w a great view over the bay. Enough space to eat together and enjoy the chimney fire in the living room. The table tennis is a big plus. Thanks for the stay!

Amazing place, crazy sunset!🌆

A wonderful place, magical views. The place was clean, well stocked, and we loved every minute of it. We could seriously spend the entire day outside on the balcony - and we did. The weather was magnificent. It seems like the area has its own weather ecosystem - a bit warmer than the rest of the surrounding area. 🙂 truly a great family friendly place!

Stunning views, lovely house

We loved our stay- the house has amazing views over the marina, across to Mull and to Jura. It’s our 4th visit to the area and this was definitely the nicest house we have stayed in. It’s very spacious, relaxing, modern, well equipped, comfortable and clean. Did I mention the views? Very hard to leave.

September Week

Excellent property, very quiet location with truly spectacular views. Easy communication with owner and minor problem with heating sorted immediately. Although the weather does not form part of the contract, we only had one day of rain. Only advice is - don't follow the last little bit of sat-nav route unless you are in something like a Hummer! (There is a sign at the entrance to the 'track' to this effect)

The house is great and in a good location with lovely views. Unfortunately, there were issues with double booking and I felt that our significant flexibility to accommodate all parties was not appropriately appreciated. On top of that, ensuring that we were not overcharged involved too much work with VRBO customer service.
