“The pod was very comfortable and provided the most beautiful views.”

It had everything we could need on our holiday, even including a fire pit which made the nights even more special. Aside from it being a lovely place, the owner welcomed us very kindly and made sure our stay was one we'll never forget. I would sincerely recommend the palce to anyone who want to get away from the crowds and noise of the city.

“Wonderful week with the most incredible views!”

My husband & I enjoyed the most peaceful week at Balvicar Beag, it was well kitted out with everything we needed there was even hangers in a cupboard which was very handy. The owners were on hand should we have needed anything but left us to enjoy the tranquil setting. The weather was a bit hit or miss but we still enjoyed sitting out on the decking area with some strawberries & cream with a glass of wine from the local shop. The fire pit was a big hit with my husband we sat out for hours one night as the sun went down & the stars came out. Enjoyed the little ferry ride over to Easdale island which is a must see! We spent a day going over to Mull on the ferry from Oban and also had some relaxing days with walks down to the waters edge. Also highly recommend lunch or dinner at the Oyster Bar the fish & Chips was amazing! All in all we would definitely recommend this little slice of heaven to anyone looking for a relaxing retreat. Only suggestion I would make is perhaps a small storage box outside the pod for leaving muddy boots so people aren’t having to bring them inside. Thank you Flo for a wonderful week!

Thanks for your lovely comments. We're glad you enjoyed it as we were worried the weather would have spoiled it for you. We will add an outside box for boots as you suggest. Hope to see you again. Flo Property Owner

“I booked this on the off chance that we might enjoy a quiet peaceful weeks break, in a chalet for two.”

It was fantastic, the accomodation was spotless, equipped with everything we needed, located on a peaceful quiet area of a farm, with veiws to take your breath away. Living in the city and finding Balvicar Beag, was nothing short of fantastic. The road through the farm is a bit rough, but the location is well worth it. Perfect for one or two people.

About the location

BALVICAR, ISLE OF SEIL

Oban 14 miles.

The village of Balvicar is found on Seil, the most northerly of the Slate Islands, attached to the Scottish mainland by the Clachan Bridge, built in 1793 and now famously known as the 'Bridge over the Atlantic' as it spans the narrow strip of ocean. This is a very peaceful and tranquil area, with an abundance of wildlife and spectacular scenery which is wonderful for walking, birdwatching, cycling, boating and fishing. Balvicar's village shop and post office boast a wide range of groceries, newspapers, fishing tackle for sale and golf clubs for use at the adjacent Golf Club. The two other inhabited slate islands, Easdale and Luing, are reached by a small passenger ferry and a car ferry respectively. Not to be missed are the high adrenaline boat trips by Sea-fari and the more sedate trips by Sealife Adventures, which offer a wide range of marine eco-tours that include visits to the Gulf of Corryvreckan, home of the world's third largest whirlpool, whale and dolphin watching as well as the chance to spot basking sharks and a wealth of seabirds.
