Good Hotel Guide Review
Light, bright and full of life, Sean and Karen O’Byrne’s super-modern, eco-friendly house is all Scandi style and floor-to-ceiling windows offering memorable views of Loch Creran. Afternoon pastries are part of a generous greeting, while a help-yourself home-made whisky cream liqueur remains a temptation. Spruced-up bedrooms have bright splashes of colour, a king-size bed and under-floor heating, plus many extras: handmade chocolates, complimentary treats. Breakfast is served in the glass-fronted dining room: home-baked soda bread, griddled waffles, Scottish platter with Stornoway black pudding and tattie scones. The hosts can help plan day trips; a longbow lesson is an unexpected alternative – Sean is a former world champion.
