"The house is set in an idyllic situation, quiet and beautiful."
The owners left a bottle of wine and laid the fire for our arrival, which I thought was a lovely touch. The house is well appointed, with all the facilities that you need. Beds are comfortable and linen was beautiful. The owner checked in to see if there were any issues and responded very quickly. My whole family just kept saying how wonderful the property was, the location being a massive part of that. Oban is just 15 mins drive away, which is a lovely town, filled with brilliant shops and lovely walks. The owners supplied plenty games and puzzles, and had lots of information about the area and places to visit. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.

"Beautiful Cottage, only fault, and shouldn’t really grumble, much too warm, unable to turn down radiators; our ages ranged from 9 years old to eighty years old and we all were unbearably hot throughout the week."
Despite that little moan we all enjoyed our week tremendously. Our holidays for the last thirty years have been spent in the Lake District, I think we have been won over to the Scottish Highlands; w

"We had a lovely family break at Rhunacairn - it comfortably accommodated the family, with space for kids too."
Considering we caught some pretty bad (heavy rain), the cottage was warm, dry and kitted out with drying facilities (and lots of logs!) to cope. It is also well kitted out for living and comfort, the kitchen is really well equipped. The location is amazing in my opinion, I think I could have easily sat for hours looking out over the sea loch... It's beautiful.
The hosts were also really friendly and helpful in all communications before and throughout our stay.
We had a great stay... Would love to come back in a slight less rainy time/season.

"The stay at Rhunicaurn was exceptional, offering a warm welcome and outstanding hospitality throughout."
Wendy, the house manager, played a pivotal role in ensuring our stay was comfortable and memorable. The stay exceeded our expectations, thanks to Wendy's exceptional hospitality and the enchanting setting. On leaving, we were confronted with unexpected floods and landslides we were stranded, no accomodation to be had in Oban, no cars entering or leaving due to unprecedented weather. Wendy contacted us, concerned for our safety, she offered us 'a bed for the night..' WOW!! The unexpected stay at the Nelson family's castle was a highlight of our trip. Thanks to Wendy, despite minor challenges, this experience will be cherished and highly recommended to others seeking a unique and memorable getaway in Oban. Beautiful relaxing holiday. We will be back. Kay and Rod.

Rhunacairn is a beautiful cottage full of character in a idyllic location right on the Loch front of Loch etive and just 6 miles into oban it was the perfect location we saw some beautiful even red skies we in the evenings and a beautiful view of the loch sitting in the window seat any time of the day
The cottage is fully equipped with everything you could possibly need even down to the bin liners being provided
The beds are super comfortable and the bed linen is really nice quality linen and the bath towels were Egyptian cottan not something you usually get in a holiday let but it was greatly appreciated

"We loved the property location, layout, accommodation and general facilities."
The kitchen equipment all worked, and we cooked some great meals, though some pots/pans need replacing.
Very happy to have the bottled drinking water provided as the current filtered supply was running a bit brown, though fine for washing and kettle drinks.
We thought the rate was a bit high for the season though.

"We have just returned from spending a week at Rhunacairn."
This property sits on the shores of Loch Etive with the most amazing views which were even more breathtaking with the Autumn tints. The cottage had everything we required for a comfortable cosy stay with the kitchen and utility room being particularly well equipped. However being a party of 6 adults we felt the upstairs bathroom would have benefited from a fully operational shower as we all required to use the downstairs shower.

"This is a beautiful cottage in the most perfect setting, and we absolutely loved our stay here."
The facilities provided were fantastic, and the log burner fire made it extra cosy in the evenings. We were here for a week and managed to fit in a boat trip in Oban, trips to local castles (a tour from Alex at Dunollie Castle is a must), Easdale Island and Glenfinnan Viaduct near Fort William, with all of these being within reasonable travel distance.
There are a couple of points that we wanted to raise, not necessarily as criticism but as genuine feedback to make it even better. The main thing is the main bed, which felt like a small double - for a cosy stay a king size bed would have suited the master bedroom much more. Although we went just as a couple we both said that the bedroom with the bunk beds off of the utility room wouldn’t be suitable, in our eyes, for young children, purely from a security side of things given that it’s by the main entrance with two doors between here and the rest of the household.
We would recommend this cottage to anyone looking for a relaxing and peaceful break away, with the option to be as busy (or not) as you want to be.

"We very much enjoyed staying in the house."
It had a wonderful peaceful location with a beautiful outlook. We found the house to be cosy, comfortable and very well equipped. We enjoyed having the wood burning stove in the lounge and it was a pleasure to cook in the kitchen with the view out to the Loch. The kitchen has everything you need to make meals or baking and we even had apple crumble using apples from the tree in the garden. The trains didn't bother us at all.
The only thing that would have made it better would have been a shower in the upstairs bathroom

"Thank you for our most wonderful stay at Rhunacairn."
My two young daughters and Bob the dog had an amazing time at the cottage.
Everything was perfect and we could not have asked for more.
The gentleman who owned the cottage was also very obliging and we would not hesitate in further to recommend your website and the cottage to others.
We will definitely book with you again in the future

"Rhunacairn was ideal for our holiday."
On the loch side, about a mile off the road it was the ideal location to re-charge our batteries. The children were in the loch every day(wearing wetsuits) while the adults could supervise safely either from the large garden or the kitchen windows when it was raining! The dogs had the run of the garden which suited them perfectly. The house was bright and comfortable and although we had concerns with regards to the proximity to the railway line before we arrived, the trains did not affect our break in the slightest.
On the occasions that we could tear the children away from the water the was lots to do nearby such as the sea life centre, Inverawe smokery, Bonawe iron works, Oban itself and Inverary Jail, which was well worth the 40 minute drive each way to visit.
All in all a very relaxing holiday, with the option to do as much or as little as you want. We would definitely return.
