Customer Reviews of Barcaldine Villa - nr Oban - Sleeps 7
"A good home for a evening with friends / family after the days f"
We have got a really warm welcome by Ms. Davidson. The rooms in the house are wide and clean. All was well prepared. In the kitchen we found a basket with traditional sweets from Barcaldine and typical cheddar. In the back of the house is a small but nice garden. The rooms inside were perfect for us 5. Barcaldine itself is a small village so in the evening you feel the silent of the countryside. The main reason for me to choose this home was the near to the coast, but also a central position between Loch Ness in the north, Arduaine in the south and Glen Coe to the east.

"Very comfy, home from home with all comforts and lovely views an"
Owner greeted us with an unexpected welcome pack which was enjoyed by all!! Beds were the comfiest we had ever stayed in and got lots of sleep which is what we all needed!! Relaxing time with the grandchildren. A beautiful conservatory to watch the countless garden birds which visited and enjoy the mountain views which seemed to change each day. The children enjoyed the sky TV and were pleased their parents could ring them each evening while they were on Mull. Central location with lots to do in locality. Hope to return one day!
