A large patio door opens out onto an enclosed veranda with enclosed south-facing decking beyond, perfect for watching the sun rise and set or relaxing in the evening gazing up at the stars. Ideal for walkers and cyclists, the rural lane network forms part of the National Cycle Route 78 which stretches all the way from Oban to Fort William but which also leads to the stunning Glen Lonan to the East, Kilmore and Loch Nell to the south and Connel to the north. Immerse yourself in the soft sounds of grazing animals and birdsong, and with minimal light pollution, ideal for star gazing on those beautiful clear nights.

Drive across the Connel Bridge over the Falls of Lora to the village of Benderloch, home of the lovely sandy Tralee beach with cafés and shops.
A bustling west coast harbour town, Oban has lots going on for the visitor at any time of the year. Central for touring Argyll and known as the ’Gateway to the Isles’, with ferries leaving daily to many of the islands, such as Mull, Iona, Staffa and Lismore. In keeping with its reputation as the seafood capital of Scotland, there are some excellent restaurants, cafés and pubs nearby, in which to relax after a pleasant day out exploring the wonderful scenery and visiting some of the interesting attractions which Argyll has to offer.

Beautiful rural setting, lovely views of the hills (and cows and sheep), close to Oban and the best of the west Highland region.

We stayed 2 nights in the cabin as a family (2 adults and 2 kids). The cabin is small for a family but it really has everything that you need. And there was enough space for us to sleep 4 people. We really enjoyed the welcome package and in general that it was very clean and cosy in the cabin. It will stay as a great memory for us!It is also great being in the midst of the nature and I would definitely go for the cabin compared to a hotel.
