Communication from Karen leading up to our stay was excellent, meaning the caravan was very easy to find. Both in this communication and the handy folder in the caravan meant after a full day travelling and exploring getting there we were able to find somewhere to eat easily. Caravan itself was kitted out with everything we could possibly need. Beds were comfortable ensuring we had a good sleep. Area itself is beautiful with lots to explore. During our checkout Karen’s recommendation meant we spent a wonderful few hours exploring a castle right on the doorstep that we had missed. Can highly recommend, thank you for a wonderful stay! Was exactly what we both needed and we both wished we could have stayed for longer!

Short vacation
Fantastic facility in fabulous location. Our accommodation fully catered for all the needs you could require. The owners have clearly gone to significant effort to ensure their guests are very well looked after. We greatly appreciate their thoughtful management and look forward to a return visit to this stunning part of the country.

Perfect for a short stay in the Highlands
Loved staying at the caravan. It was spotlessly clean, and had all the crockery and utensils we needed. Gas fire, oven, 2 loos, all very useful and not always present in bigger properties. Good location for getting about. We were very happy staying here

The property was exactly as we expected in a lovely quiet location. Our stay was somewhat marred by the very cold weather which challenged the inadequate heating in the caravan.

Quiet spot opposite river
We enjoyed our stay in static caravan. Our host Karen was very helpful. Good location to travel to all the scenic areas which are fabulous. Bedroom was very small with single beds when we had booked double but otherwise no problem. Kitchen and living area very comfortable with gas heater. There is a shop and hotel not too far away.

Cosy and quiet
Lovely caravan, beautiful views set in a quiet village. Nice place to go to get away and relax. Caravan was super clean and a lovely touch of being left some fresh eggs which went down a treat. Would 100% stay again.

Great location
We had a fantastic few days and found the accommodation great and enjoyed the location. Karen gave us a warm welcome. Arisaig has a super pub with a fabulous and delicious selection of specials. Arisaig and Ardermurchan have wonderful beaches and local walks are great too.

Matrasses too small for us
We had a good stay in the caravan. Every thing ok. But 1 suggestion: the matrasses are 70 cm wide and that was too small for us.

Gemütlicher Caravan in der Natur
Sehr schöne Lage in einem gemütlichen Caravan mit Blick auf einen Fluss. Sehr sauber, Küche ist gut ausgestattet. Im Ort ist ein Cafe und ein Lebensmittelladen. Glenfinnan ist 45 min mit dem Auto entfernt. Das WLan ist kostenfrei, aber sehr schwach. Die Gastgeberin ist sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit und per SMS immer erreichbar.
