Beautiful cottage, big enclosed gardens if you have dogs. Beds comfy, plenty of space, hot tub is great. We went in October and was hardly anyone about. Peaceful and tranquil. Great access to near by walks / lochs / castles. Village shop is great for supplies and they do a great breakfast. A great overall base for exploring a week of cycling / kayaRead moreking/ walking .

Caroline

Lovely cottage so big and spacious. If in a big group this is perfect. Brought 2 dogs and they loved the large enclosed garden 2 run about in. Hot tub was perfect and was used everyday. Tesco also do a food delivery to here which is very handy when staying for a week.

Gerhard

The facility needs an aircon!

Vincent

A lovely stay at the School House in an absolute stunning location. Lots of long quietwalks from the door step so did not need to travel any where. Some lovely spots on loch Awe for a dip and swimming. Wildlife was abundant with Golden Eagle, Osprey spotted loads of Tawny Owls in the evening look for a whistle and you will be able to call them in. Read moreRed squirrels in the garden with plenty of birds visiting would recommend bringing seed and peanuts. Cottage is warm and has lots of space. Glorious. Hide

Janet

Cottage is huge, lounge is extremely comfortable especially with the wood burning stove. Beds are comfortable and views superb. The kitchen has everything you need for cooking for a large (7) family, having a dishwasher is a great help.Also the games & books are a bonus. Local area is superb for gentle walks.

Andrew

A lovely, well resourced and properly maintained holiday house, with good local walks and peaceful surroundings. The hosts were responsive to our queries, and the facilities on offer were ideal for our long weekend. Highly recommended.

Debbie

Lovely cottage very peaceful area

Emma

We enjoyed a family gathering for my dads 70th. The cottage is comfortable and the hot tub is a definite plus! There are lovely walks from the cottage and Dalavich has a nice cafe for hot drinks. It is remote and there are no food shops for miles, so I recommend stocking up before getting there! The loch is not as accessible as wed hoped (there areRead more places not far by foot to access the water but it wasnt somewhere to wander down to from the cottage) but that didnt detract from a great stay.

Megan

One of the best cottages we have ever stayed in. Beautiful and high quality, very clean and well equipped. Wonderful hot tub. Magical location and wildlife. We will be back for sure!

Louise

The School House is perfect for a break away. This is the second time we've visited. The first with family and the second with friends. Beds are really comfy, the house is really well equipped and the garden is big enough to play games and relax

Lesley

We had a lovely time at the School House which was very remote and well out of the way from the rest of civilisation. The cottage was very well equipped with everything you could want. We had a great time despite the rain. You do need to take into consideration the 14 mile trip to get to the main road before you can get anywhere but it doesn't detrRead moreact from the lovely location. We had some great walks and the one up to the Cruachan Dam was especially good. Hide

Tracy

Beautiful place , we stayed here for a week with 3 teenagers 2 adults and our pet dog and all thoroughly enjoyed every second. Home from home stay didn't want to leave ! Ticked all the boxes and more already looking at booking again. Definitely recommend to anyone who likes peace ,quiet and beautiful scenery !

Martin

Lovely house and would certainly stay here again. Very well equipped and very comfortable. There were 6 of us staying and we never felt like we were on top of each other with plenty of space to relax. We loved the location as it was well away from noise and a lovely walk up to the waterfalls just across the road. It does take a while to get anywher e in this area so even popping to Oban was an hour's drive, but the view whilst doing it was fantastic.

Jayne

The location is stunning and very peaceful. The School House is a beautiful holiday home, we could not fault it in any way. It is very homely, very spacious, beautiful furnished and very well equiped. Great hot tub and spacious garden. I felt sad to leave. We will definitely consider visiting again.

Rowena

Wow! This house is stunning. The kitchen is like a kitchen you see on cooking shows and loaded with equipment. A nice welcome pack which was great. This place was clean quiet and spacious. Beautiful setting in a remote place. Scenery and views stunning. No cars very few, no crowds no shops no hustle and bustle. Such a relaxing holiday. A 15 minute easy walk takes you to the village shop cum post office cum Wild Rowan Cafe. So cute so friendly, great coffee and freshly made food. Brilliant!

Ross

Beautiful cottage and amazing location, great walks right on the doorstep. The large enclosed garden was perfect for our dogs to play in while we relaxed, the cottage was well equipped and cosy. Will definitely stay again

Linda

Great time here for all my family

Judith

Fantastic cottage, perfect in every way with everything you could possibly need, great walks on your doorstep, would definitely recommend.

Stephen

Absolutely brilliant for us, extended family of 8 and 2 dogs. The house was beautiful plenty of room for all and the garden is genuinely large, dog friendly and secure, we have been to other properties that have exaggerated this but not School House. Lovely and secluded, hot tub was great and walks straight from the house. Would definitely stay her e again!

Aleish

Beautiful home in a beautiful location, hot tub was a lovely feature as was the fire in the living room. Kitchen and dining room is a great space. Beds were comfortable, clean fresh sheets. Outside bbq and large table and chairs for everyone to sit around. Our stay was thoroughly enjoyed by all guests including dogs enjoyed running around large gar den. Highly recommend booking to stay here for a group getaway.

adele

The accommodation is excellent and very comfortable and clean had a lovely relaxing break with my family would highly recommend a visit

Tammy

We had an amazing stay. The location is right on the doorstep of loch and forest walks. The garden was an ideal size and secure for the dogs. The cafe did fish and chips on the Thursday night and we were made to feel very welcome by the locals. The owner is on hand and very pleasant should you need anything.

Robbie

place is cracking a lovely get away .. would recommend to anyone - everything is spotless and very modern with is a bonus ! great stay will be back excellent get away

Gillian

We had a fantastic stay, cottage was spacious and clean and had everything we required. Recommend to take everything you require as the nearest spar is about a 40 min drive, apart from the village shop which only has essentials. Perfect for a quiet getaway literally in the middle of no where. Garden spacious and enclosed. Would be ideal for a summe r trip. Decent hot tub also

Sophie

Beautiful house beautifully located very isolated loved it. Make sure you plan food or to go shopping as it takes ages to drive anywhere. Would recommend, a few minor issues but loved our holiday.

Daniella

Stunning property, highly recommend. We stayed for the weekend but wish it was longer. Such a sociable extension area with the kitchen/diner. Perfect little place

Margo

We stayed 4 nights in the Old Schoolhouse. We had a wonderful time and are already planning on returning. The house is perfectly located with walks from the doorstep and a hot tub to relax in when you return. Considering the location the wifi was very reliable. The garden was large, our dog loved it. My only suggestion would be to bring enough food . The kitchen is large and very well stocked. There is a shop within walking distance but it is small.
