  • "The chalet was, generally, in poor repair."

    a) outdated and old cooker, microwave and utensils. Cups heavily tea-stained (we scrubbed them before use) b) shower room mouldy; shower door ill - fitting. Old wall mounted fan heater. Mouldy window blind. Shower basin area inside and out - heavy buildup of grey, sloughy mould. c) bedroom areas very small. Bed linen smelled mouldy and damp. d) outside decking area very slippery when wet - no warning signs for visitors. There was a general damp and grubby feel about the chalet which had built up over the years. The woodwork had been heavily painted in an attempt to cover up. Poor value for money.

    Dear Mrs Eastman Thank you for your comments regarding our chalet. We are very disappointed that you did not enjoy your stay with us. We have a fully manned office and I am sure that some of your comments could have been sorted immediately had you made us aware when you were here. A couple of points we feel require addressing. The cooker is not old - its old style and this is clearly shown in the photos you would have looked at prior to booking so it should not have been unexpected. The bathroom is tiled in green with grey grout - there is no mould. The chalet is compact - this is also clearly indicated in the pictures - the chalet has a large decking area and also a BBQ and picnic bench - so lots of outside space and we apologise that the weather was wet and you were unable to take full advantage of this. We have other cottages and chalets on the estate that may suit you better ( no decking and bigger ) should you choose to return. Kind Regards The Booking Office @ Ellary Property Owner

About the location

LOCHGILPHEAD

Kilmartin Glen 5 miles; Crinan 7 miles; Kilmartin 8.5 miles; Inveraray 24 miles; Oban 37 miles

Located at the top end of Loch Gilp, which opens from the much larger Loch Fyne, the town of Lochgilphead was originally designed as a planned town. Founded towards the end of the 18th century and following on from the opening of the road from Inverary to Campbeltown, Lochgilphead grew and developed after the nearby Crinan Canal was opened, thus improving connectivity across the peninsula. Today Lochgilphead is a popular tourist spot with a variety of shops, cafes and bars. The surrounding scenery on all sides is beautiful and there are many scenic drives to be had to Inverary with its jail and castle and Crinan with the famous canal. Kilmartin Glen is one of Scotland richest landscapes with over 800 historic monuments, cairns, standing stones and circles, and rock art dating back over 5000 years! Visit the Kilmartin museum, an internationally acclaimed archaeology museum and uncover the area's mesmerising history. Lochgilphead and the surrounding area also play host to many festivals throughout the year and whether your preference is for music, food or Highland games, there will be something for everyone here.
