Lovely cottage in delightful location
Achalic Beag is a spacious, comfortable and well equipped cottage set in beautiful countryside and in a great location for visiting Oban and the surrounding area of Argyll and Bute. We saw and heard an abundance of wildlife, which was a constant fascination for our Border Terrier, from Buzzards, Roe Deer, Cuckoos, Woodpeckers, Bats and owls. The lambs in the surrounding fields were a delight to watch from the lounge and kitchen windows. The cottage was a great place to retreat to after a busy day, and with a lovely walk to Loch Feochan from the door.
There are plenty of lovely places to visit in the area, and even driving was a pleasure with spectacular vistas at every turn.
The only minor issue was that the Wireless Internet was very slow, and it was generally quicker to use the mobile network to access the Internet. The Internet connection did impact the ability to use catchup TV as the connection was just too slow for it to work correctly.
The Barn Bar just a mile up the road is easily accessible and serve great meals and beer, and we were treated to an impromptu performance of traditional Scottish music by local musicians and singers on the Friday night.
This was our first holiday in Scotland, we had a fabulous time with great weather, and we would love to return.
If we were to stay in the Oban area again we would definitely consider staying at Achalic Beag.
