Glen Euchar House Reviews

Lovely accommodation in stunning grounds. A very warm welcome from Gordon and his furry friend Bailey.

Just back from our stay in Oban and we had a great time staying at this lovely house. The house is very well presented with everything you would want for your stay and very comfortable. It has to be said that the biggest selling point is the truely superb garden, and by garden I should say park as its is huge. You have extensive lawns, woodland, river and even a duck pond. Honestly if you have children that are old enough to play by themselves you will never see them, absolutely fantastic. Big shout out to Gordon the property manager who is always on hand to help out if needed and not least his two dogs who became our furry friends for our stay. Would definitely recommend a stay if your looking for a peaceful relaxing holiday in this beautiful area.

We had a lovely week at Glen Euchar. The house is set in the most glorious location. We were a bit worried about the yellow tinged drinking water but Gordon reassured us and there was bottled water if we didnt feel comfortable drinking it. The hot tub was such a bonus which my 5 year old granddaughter loved. The birds at the bird station were fascinating to watch, even had a couple of woodpeckers visit. We travelled out and about and were happy to return to a cosy and warm Glen Euchar every day

Costin

This was one of the best places we've been so far, everything was there for us, loved the quietness and the peaceful atmosphere but the hot tub was our favourite place to be. Special thanks to Gordon for all the help and advice and for bringing his

Christopher

Having stayed in many lodges and cottages over the years throughout england and scotland my wife and i both agree that glen euchar house has been the best so far by a large margin. Fantastic property in great surroundings. We simply could not have wished for anything more from our stay

The location is simply stunning. Peace and quiet await, yet within a 1520 minute drive you can visit natural parks, cities, and islands. The house is very spacious, wellheated, and bright. The owner is truly kind and helpful. The park and gardens are wellkept and everything is very simple and relaxing. Having the Hot Tube too, I must say, was a very welcome added treat especially after the excursions with the sore muscles!. Thanks Gordon, and a special shout out to the lovely Billie!

An amazing week away at Glen Euchar house. Family of five for a weeks stay in the most amazing location. The house has everything you could want, from lovely scenery and amazing gardens with its own river for catching a couple of brown trout, to the most well equipped holiday let we have ever stayed at. No complaints at all and we really didn't want to leave, of the many holidays we have been on this is one of the few that we will rebook.

Denise

We really enjoyed our stay my only quibble is that the sofa was too low & the shelves were too high

We had a fantastic family break at the house and grounds. The house is a bit remote but the weather was fantastic all week and the hot tub was a great success. Overall a great time was had by all, old and young.

As we have found out, in the past, Skye Holiday Cottages always exceed expectations. Superb!

The house was very well equipped, warm and comfortable. There was a little tlc needed in some areas e.g. skirting boards needed painting, and kitchen floor was a little bit tired, but generally we were very happy with the facilities. We would like to come back again some time.

A beautiful, warm, comfortable house set in stunning grounds. Very well equipped. Special thanks to Gordon for looking after us so well. We would def stay there again.

Highly recommend this property lovely setting so tranquil lovely house and ... Highly recommend this property lovely setting so tranquil lovely house and spacious and veiws and so peaceful oban only 15 min away

Lovely Property in spectacular surroundings , We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Very sad to be home we will be back.

House is really well equipped and in a fantastic location in its own grounds. Only a short drive to Oban with access to the ferries and islands. We loved our stay and would definitely like to visit again. The local seafood was a major bonus for us

Beautiful house with great amenities. Kitchen is amazingly equipped. Really quiet location with gorgeous grounds and hot tub. Only negative really was that both single beds weren't great, bit lumpy mattresses. We were 4 adults sharing, so maybe would be OK for small children. Host great too, quick to respond to queries.

Wonderful, relaxing property set in its own quiet grounds. Felt as comfortable as home but with the addition of a private everready hot tub.

Been coming to holiday cottages in Scotland since I was a small child and, for the better part of 20 years, I haven't stayed in a property as well equipped and homely as this. Perfect.

Georgina

Highly recommend. Kids loved the grounds and we all loved the hot tub. Loved watching the bats at night. Gordon was lovely too.

Detlef

The arrival already felt like coming home. Furniture, mattresses and the pool had been renewed or replaced since our last stay. Gordon and Caraid did everything to make our stay as comfortable as possible. Furthermore, every effort was made to minimise any disruption caused by a severe storm. You can't expect or receive more friendliness, help and support. We are already looking forward to our next stay with friends.

2nd visit brilliant place great location

We loved the property and its location. We knew about the lack of internet prior to our arrival. Compensated, not a great problem. A little annoyed that Skye was intermittent. With horrendous weather no internet, Skye was essential rugby World Cup ! Loosing signal 3 4 times a day was annoying. Everything else was great. The cottage is perfect in all other aspects. Once the afore mentioned problems are resolved, it warrants a return visit.

Rachel

Fabulous holiday. Best equipped house we've ever stayed in. Grounds and got tub immaculate. So peaceful and quiet.

Lovely house and location. Brief issue with no hot water first morning but rectified by local caretaker somebody had turned off the boiler Could not get the TV to work. Caretaker fixed it on day 1 but it went south again almost immediately and we couldn't be bothered bringing the caretaker back. otherwise all good and would certainly return.

An amazing property in a fantastic location, ideal for exploring the beautiful ... An amazing property in a fantastic location, ideal for exploring the beautiful Scottish Highlands All the comforts of home and the hot tub was an added bonus, highly recommend

Lovely home in a beautiful quiet valley. The hot tub was a bonus and the weather was good for April. Gordon the house keeper and his dog Caraid were there to great us when we arrived and looked after us during our stay. Highly recommended you won't be disappointed.

Theresa

Lovely setting, wellequipped property. Wonderful hottub Great location for Oban, which we loved. Also being able to easily go further afield we loved our trip to Kerrera island. All helped by the most fantastic weather.

Annette

A very comfortable and spacious house in a wonderful location easy to get to Oban and the nearby countryside, yet away from the tourists in such very peaceful and green surroundings there was no farm machinerytraffic noise. Hot tub much appreciated. Gordon was very welcoming and the directions sent were easy to follow. I'd happily stay here again. 2 bathrooms was a bonus I got my own shower upstairs as the only person under 5 foot 4 that ceiling is rather low, but the downstairs shower is spacious and fits everybody It would be useful to have some instructions for the oven I had to google it to work out which knob was which and TVsound system took some working out. The wifi code is well hidden but couldn't defeat our teenagers. The wifi coped with boys and husband all on their laptops which I was impressed with given we were out in the countryside. The kitchen is well equipped but could do with some small side plates and a bread board2nd bigger chopping board. This house came top in our family competition to find the best equipped kitchen in a holiday cottage beating Jersey where we stayed last year by having a pizza cutter...

Only issue, and it is a common one in a lot of places, is the mattress in the smaller double bedroom, so much so that one of us slept in one of the single rooms. Other than that we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and the house, facilities and gardens were fantastic.

Samantha

Excellent property, lots of space for an extended family 2 teens, 2 parents & 2 grandparents in our case. Extremely clean & plenty of everything, from cutlery & cooking pans to towels & toilet paper. Wonderful location with extensive grounds, a private hot tub & access to the river which we did have a dip in! Lots to do in the local area Oban has everything you need & lots of shops, cafes & restaurants recommend the Potting Shed especially if you are GF. Ganavan Sands is a beautiful beach, Dunstaffnage Castle is a small but fascinating castle with spectacular views & McCaig's Tower is worth the steep climb. Amazing ice cream in the Pokey Hat too! Further afield Seafari boat trips & Easdale are both excellent as are the cairns & burial mounds at Kilmartin. A great base for the area & a bonus feature was the company of Gordon's dogs who are friendly & happy to chase balls all day!

Everything was perfect, location, heating, hot tub, sleeping, tv. amazing place to relax after working through the winter many thanks to Gordon

Bronwen

Lovely house in beautiful surroundings everything was great. Only thing I would suggest is a cover over the hot tub so you can use it in the rain. Everything else was excellent.

The house was fabulous,we found the hot tub great used a couple of times during our stay,could not fault anything. Gordon the caretaker was very helpful on arrival showing us around and how things worked the dogs were very friendly he was around the property regularly. Maybe only one thing the lighting to and around hot tub could be improved.

Glen Euchar House is set in an idyllic glen with the river Euchar flowing at the bottom of the garden. It is secluded and tranquil however Tesco deliver which certainly eases the stress after a long drive from Yorkshire. The kitchen is superbly designed and fully equipped with the exception of possibly a couple of chopping boards this is a minor niggle as I honestly thought that I had died and gone to kitchen heaven. Prepping food was a pleasure, the dishwasher was great too as was the washer. Drying was more of a chore and a tumble dryer would be appreciated due to the wet weather we encountered. Locally Oban is only 15 minutes drive away and you have Tesco, Aldi and Lidl to shop at. We did not eat out as I was far too busy cooking in that amazing kitchen!! If you intend going to Mull book in advance as we could not get on with the car also if you wish to go dolphin watching book in advance too as we were disappointed not to be able to go. The leather suite in the lounge is beginning to look a little tired and the electric recliners did not work. It is still comfortable however and the chair reclines manually. The TV and surround sound are great. The WiFi is useable but only around 6Mbps so dont expect too much. Also the BT home Hub 4 needs updating as it does not cover the whole house with black spots with no signal. The master bedroom floor creaks alarmingly on occasion and going to the Loo in the middle of the night is not a quiet affair!! The hot tub is great with room for 4 in perfect comfort, like some aspects of the house it is looking a little tired cosmetically however works fine and is luxurious! NB The hot tub is not close to the house and is 2 minutes walk across the lawn and down a few steps which is not a problem but would be better closer to the house in my opinion. Gordon Estate Manager was excellent and although about the estate daily was not intrusive on our tranquillity. In summary Fab accommodation in a lovely Glen in Scotland. Totally recommended

Jeanette

Lovely setting, house had every thing you could ask for. Hot tub was brilliant

Simone

Had a great 3 generation family holiday. The house was perfect with wonderful large grounds, children caught tiddlers in the river and loved the hot tub. The whole area is beautiful and had exciting boat trip with safari seeing loads of wildlife. Can't wait to return
