"Amazing wee cabin with fantastic views, in a historic location close to Clachan Bridge, the only bridge across the Atlantic, and Tigh an Truish Inn where they serve delicious seafood dishes."
The cabin is a perfect retreat for couples who want to relax and be close to nature. There is no signal in the area if you are with O2 but there is WiFi in the cabin although the strength varies, so bear in mind if you wish to do some remote/online work. We used this as a base to explore the nearby towns (Oban is just 20 mins away). Everything you need is in the cabin, we were able to cook when we couldn’t be bothered to eat out. The owner Flo is nice and accommodating, she even left us some homebaked loaf bread, butter and milk. Overall a great holiday for my husband and I and we hope to be back some time in the summer. Highly recommended.
Thank you so much for your lovely review. I’m glad you enjoyed your holiday. It was lovely to meet you.

Much like a garden room very cleverly designed with everything you'd need, with amazing views to the mainland. Great base for walking and exploring the slate islands. Lovely welcome from host.
Thank you so much for your lovely review. I’m glad you enjoyed your holiday. You were very lucky with the weather for walking. Lovely to meet you.

"What a fantastic little cabin on the shores of the Atlantic."
I was greeted by Flo, the owner, who took me down and explained where everything was and left me to it. She'd left milk, butter and a freshly baked loaf of bread along with tea and coffee. The cabin was clean, comfy and very cosy when the weather turned. The shoreline is a two minute walk, good for exploring or just sitting and watching the geese. The view from the decking is gorgeous, enjoyed either with a morning coffee or evening glass of wine. You're 20 minutes drive back to Oban with all it hustle and bustle. Ganavan sands is a lovely beach with walks up to viewing points. From Oban, Fort William is just over an hour away, either via the coastal road or the mighty Glen Coe. A trip to Easdale is worth it. Tons to do if you wish or simple enjoy the peace of this little slice of heaven. As a solo traveller, I felt very safe and slept well. There's even wood to have a little fire and enjoy the stars. A warm welcome, a cosy retreat and peace and quiet, what more could you ask.
Thank you so much for your kind words. It was lovely to meet you and I’m so glad you enjoyed yourself.

"Lovely pod on the back of a farm with a stunning view over the Firth of Loin."
Small but everything you need for a quiet and peaceful retreat. Flo welcomes you with some homemade bread which tasted amazing. Farmdog Jay will try any opportunity he gets to play with you by presenting his stick to throw, which is most amusing. Love to come back.

"What a most beautiful setting for our stay here in Balvicar Beag."
A warm welcome from our hosts and a warm home cooked loaf on arrival at the perfectly compact accommodation.
Stunning views across the Sea Loch whilst being entertained by some wonderful wildlife including Hen Harriers, Herons, Buzzards and Cormorants galore, Rabbits in abundance Red Squirrel, and a resident wee weasel.
We only used our car twice preferring to walk around the area and island hop using the super little ferry boats.
Ten out of ten for everything including the weather.
Thank you so much for your lovely comments and for your lovely bramble and apple crumble which was very tasty.
We hope to see you again sometime soon.

"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.
Thank you so much for your lovely comments. So glad you enjoyed yourselves. Hope to see you again

"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.

"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.
Thanks for your lovely comments David. It was lovely to meet you both
