"A sanctuary from insanity/Your peace to preserve in your own time Where noise before in normality/Is transformed by nature's perfect rhyme Whose arboreal curtains offer/A different soundscape to explore With paths untrodden you may prefer/To tourist spots you'd want to detour Your choice to have a break that may live/Long in your memory to recall For future benefit it will give/To friends and family best of all Bright lights there are not far away/But save that for another day"

"This property is by far the best place I have ever visited in my life... It's your dream home and you could literally be anywhere in the world.. The house and grounds are amazing. The kids loved the river at the bottom of the garden and the hot tub was fantastic. Nothing was too much trouble for the caretaker. Situated great for Oban and Mull. A visit to the Oban distillery and Chocolate shop are a must, as is the little hut that sells mussels in white wine near the ferry. We will definitely return to Glen Euchar, the pictures do not do this property or grounds justice.."

We would definitely return. "

"The house is beautifully decorated and furnished. It had everything we needed and more by way of cooking equipment, entertainment and things to see and do. We could have very easily not left the grounds all week and still have plenty to do. Everything had been considered. The grounds are stunning and very well kept, bird feeders are a nice touch, we found it very relaxing to just sit and watch the different kinds of bird come and go. The caretaker, is such a lovely chap, very helpful and welcoming. The house was absolutely immaculate! "

"This is one of those rare finds that exceeds all expectations. Lovely large rooms, very homely and the photos just don't the house justice. Downstairs: Kitchen: massive, and you'll want for nothing. Fridge, freezer, washing machine, dishwasher, range cooker, and every piece of kitchen equipment and utensil known to man! Think it had 3 slow cookers of different sizes too. Dining room: lovely spacious room with splendid extendible table, and a telescope to enjoy the outside world. Hallway: plenty of room to get in and out, lots of storage room and cupboards full of games. Downstairs shower room: toilet, sink and large shower, looks brand new. Lounge: enormous with reclining sofas and chairs, wood burner, massive tv, sky box, wifi, wii, and Blu-ray and a good range of DVDs, books and magazines. Downstairs bedroom: single bed, desk, massive bookshelf. Upstairs: Bathroom: glorious bathroom, bath, separate shower, very nice room. Master bedroom: super sized spacious room, biggest bed I've ever seen. Plenty of draws and wardrobe space. Double bedroom: good size, and and again lots of storage. Single room: single bed, bedside table and small chest of drawers. The whole house is modern and contemporary, very clean and modern. Bedding, towels, robes, and household products all plentiful. The grounds are fantastic, the hot tub amazing and it has a nearby CD player, so grab your favourite music and crank it up and you relax. It's 8 miles from Oban, took about 20 minutes to drive, great for Fort William, Glencoe, and surrounding areas; would definitely stay again, without hesitation. Owner/Manager (Gordon) top bloke who was a great invisible but reassuring presence. "

"I just stayed at Glen Euchar House last week with my partner and friends. The views are amazing, the hot tub was great and lookily for us the weather was fantastic. When we arrived on the Saturday the groundsman showed us round and told us if we needed anything, or had any problems he would be out and about throughout the days. The first shower my friends had in the downstairs bathroom was freezing cold, we couldn't seem to get it to work. Myself and my partner were using the shower upstairs (beware if you're tall, it's on a slope and you have to duck to get your head under) and this was luke warm at best but a bit better than freezing. My partner called the groundsman on the Sunday but we couldn't get hold of him, so left a message - we heard nothing back. We then left another message on the Tues and still heard nothing and we hadn't seen him once since we had arrived. We then finally caught up with him on Thurs, to which he told us a plumber had been called but couldn't make it until the Saturday, which was no good to us as we were going home. The bathrooms were also not the cleanest, on our second day there I bought bathroom wipes from the supermarket and gave the sink and toilet a good wipe (hence sack the cleaner). It didn't look like it had been cleaned in the last year never mind from the last stay. Although this review isn't the most positive, we just had a few issues but all in all the holiday was good. I would recommend this place for the hot tub alone and as I said earlier the views were amazing and you have great privacy. I would take your own BBQ if you wanted, as the one there looks a bit ancient and unclean. It was definitely good to get home to a nice hot shower"

"I stayed here in August with my wife and 3 teenage children. The house is very well equipped with everything you could possibly need for your stay. Its quite a large home but still feels very homely. The house stands in a large plot of land surrounded by countryside and lots of wildlife such as deer walking past and eagles above,a nature lovers paradise. The house as the added touch of a hot tub which was nice to relax in on an evening but take some midge spray as they like to gather. We hired bikes off the manager/caretaker for a day and they also hire out kayaks if you so desire.The caretaker lives within the grounds and is very very helpful and friendly. We spent our days exploring the attractions in the area and found the house which is about 10 miles from Oban to be ideally placed. The only thing that slightly spoiled the holiday was the weather but that's Scotland. For the price paid for a week in August you would be hard pushed to find anywhere near as good. I would recommend this holiday home to anyone and would certainly re book this home if we were to return to the area."

This is only a minor issue as everything else about the house & the grounds is fantastic. We would definitely return. The setting is magical & private. The hot tub is massive, we only used one side of it. Can't recommend it highly enough.

"A wonderful location in a quiet and peaceful glen surrounded by natural beauty and yet still close to the main road to Oban. The property is large and airy with all of the modern equipment (large TV; BluRay; Wii; WiFi) that you could want. Large rooms throughout. Would suggest that the owners need to remove a lot of their own effects from the kitchen as there is no cupboard space left for your groceries; also a microwave would be a good addition. The huge grounds are beautiful and the hot-tub an added bonus. Mike, the property manager who lives in a separate property on site, is a friendly and welcoming man who is almost invisible unless you want his assistance when he's only too happy to help. He is a great addition to the set-up here. The surrounding countryside is just stunning and the location gives great access to all local activities; the boat trips with Sea.Fari are especially good. Overall this is an excellent place to stay, if you can't relax here then you can't relax!"
