Sobrachan

The only very small constructive comment I would make is there could have been more towels at the house or dressing gowns for the hot tub. Other than that Andrew and the house were amazing thank you very much!!

It's a lovely place but as I said to the owner a double bed for couples or people with disabilities would be ideal as my partner had to leave and come back days later so it was a problem also hand rails at the hot tub for health and safety would also be beneficial to all. A bit of dust and marks on walls so a wee paint to freshen the place up as all the tape makes it look unfinished. Stated in book buy logs but owner said he would just give more I think this should be clarified for all. Setting the timer for heating is a bit cheeky as the house can get really cold so people should be allowed to heat it to their own preferences when ever it suits . Also tried to speak to the owner and he carried on about his business basically ignored me till the next day so I then ignored him back not a great way to deal with paying customers felt he was more interested in the next guests as he also could fill the hot tub late on the Friday say 10 or 11 pm to give the guests use for every day of their stay feel quite cheated to be completely honest.

Sobrachan was a lovely house, amazing location, and the hot tub is wonderful. So peaceful, we love the quiet so was perfect for us. Andrew is always on hand to help, although we never had any issues at all. Would definitely recommend. 1010 for us.

Wonderful house, just as good as it looks on the website. Lovely garden to explore, the owner was very helpful in making us feel welcome and showing us the ropes. Hot tub was great, especially with the view of the mountain and the occasional flyby from the sea eagles. Red squirrels in the woods and deer roaming about also. The Loch is a good place to kayak or canoe, we put in at the head of Loch Awe by the castle, around 40 minutes drive up the single track road. Of all the places we've stopped at in Scotland over the last few years and there's been some nice ones, this one was probably the best!

This is an excellent property. It is comfortable, spacious with stunning views down Loch Awe. The Gardens are lovely and the Hot Tub much appreciated. Our group of nine enjoyed their holiday and we would certainly consider visiting again. There was weather disruption of roads around our visit and the house owner helpfully kept us informed so we could alter our travel plans accordingly. Our only suggestion for improvement was to have a little more cutlery so that you don't have to use the dishwasher after every meal!

We booked this property for the second week of our Scottish holiday having spent the first week on Lewis in an immaculate cottage by the beach. So wondered how that could be surpassed? We needn't have worried, Sobrachan is fantastic. The views, the house, the grounds the list is endless are all stunning. The hot tub is absolute bliss and sitting back in there watching the ever changing scenery is magical. We saw ospreys, buzzards and had the most fabulous evening in the hot tub watching the nesting swallows feed their young. A walk around the grounds up to the suspension bridge is a must, my advice is walk slowly! Also we booked with Adventure West sea trips to do the corryvrecken whirlpool and wildlife tour sailing out of Crinan Harbour. Oh my gosh, if you don't do anything during your stay do this. It made our holiday, it was exhilarating and exciting. We saw all sorts of sea life, Grey seals, harbour seals, a golden eagle and her fledgling, shags, cormorants and much more. Taken care of by a very professional and highly competent team. Andrew, our host, was excellent he was always at the end of a text and replied very quickly to any queries we had, and gave us some thorough information about how things worked at the house. Especially the midge pdf!! Read this carefully if you are staying within JulyAug it's essential for a happy holiday. If you're wondering whether or not to book this house, my advice would be to do it. You won't be disappointed. The views alone would do it for me but there's so much more. We have made some magical memories here, listening to my husband playing the grand piano whilst sitting on the deck sipping gin is just one of them. Fabulous. And thanks again Andrew for a perfect week and it was lovely to meet you. We will be back.

Sobrachan is a beautiful house, very warm and comfortable. We had a lovely week there and would like to go back one day to explore the area a bit more

Sobrachan is a delight. The gardens are beautiful and you can walk round the gardens exploring different pathways. The house is very comfortable and the views are gorgeous. Yes it is remote, but thank goodness for that! Very sad to leave such a fantastic property but so glad we could have a holiday in this beautiful location.

Absolutely stunning property, one of the best we've ever stayed at.

A beautiful property in a magical setting. The house was comfortable and came with everything you could need for your stay. There are many forestry walks near by and things to on days out. We hope to return at some point, and would recommend a stay at Sobrachan to anyone.

The most beautiful home and surroundings. We absolutely loved our stay as a family and will definitely be returning.

Immaculately presented house and gardens. Everything is clearly maintained to a high standard and the attention to detail is exemplary. The design of the house lends itself to relaxation and engagement the landscaped gardens provide stunning visual treats around every tree, stream, and bush! It's an easy 55.

This is the second time we have stayed at Sobrachen. We love it! The lay out of the house works perfectly for us as a large party. It is such a beautiful home, with luxury and comfort. Andrew is always on hand for a stress free check in and check out. You are provided with all the Information you need to work the many facilities on offer. And should any issues arise during your stay, Andrew is only a text away and very helpful. It is a remote location but the location is stunning and perfect for a relaxing holiday. We will definitely be back!

Sobrachan is a fantastic house in a truly amazing location with it's landscaped gardens. Ideal location for those wanting to go exploring the west coast of Scotland.

Loved sobrachen , family of 10 , youngest 17 eldest 82 House gorgeous and they thought of everything So clean , beds comfy , great views , plenty freezer and fridge space The drive in and out was long all from Edinburgh but the grounds were stunning

The property has the wow factor. The grounds are amazing. If you want to escape and you want peace and tranquility this is your place. The property pictures when booking do not do the property justice. Andrew the owner was lovely. Infact the only thing I can say that is I was disappointed in was the hottub information stated it wouldn't be available from 2pm the day before we left for cleaning purposes for the next people and the maintenence guy came at 12.30 to empty it. The kids were a bit disappointed. But having said that it was total relaxation. Just a shame the week went so fast. The property has a full size fridge freezer and also a built in larder fridge. So plenty of storage as you need to do a full shop before you arrive or order a tesco delivery from oban. We will definitely be back.

Lovely house and beautiful surroundings. House had everything we needed, hot tub was lovely. Everything was well maintained and the owner Andrew was very helpful with the house and local area, very quick to respond to any messages. It is quite remote but very peaceful with a beautiful view of the loch. Tranquil and peaceful stay thank you.

Sobrachan was absolutely stunning. We booked the house to take a group of friends away for a week and it did it disappoint. The attention to detail was outstanding. Also the gardens were amazing. We met the owner Andrew on a couple of occasions and was delightful. All in all if your looking for a large property with fabulous views with a feel off getting away from it all this is the house for you. We will definitely be back.

Excellent property in beautiful, idyllic surroundings. Andrew, the owner is brill, as he is always there to help if needs be and strives to make things exceptional for you. Thank you!

We had a wonderful stay. The house and gardens are amazing and would definitely recommend this beautiful place.

The house is a beautiful remote sanctuary. It is warm and inviting and has everything you could need for a great stay. We particularly appreciated The Cafetiere Slow Cooker Good wifi Beautiful bedrooms Large bathrooms Cleaning Products Scrabble. From every window there is an incredible view and the gardens are stunning, they take your breath away so serene. The house is beautifully furnished and the Master Suite with dressing room and bath and shower and architectural windows from floor to ceiling to the Loch is enviable! We recommend Kilchurn Castel Ben Cruachan Inn for food Dalmally Station Just to meet Doug and Liz Kilmartin Historic Walk over 5,000 years of history! St Conans Kirk Loghgilphead for lunch and shopping. Our host Andrew responded promptly to any queries before and during our stay. Do we recommend Oh yes. Will we be back For sure.

We had a really great time during our stay. The gardens are just incredible and in the spring summer they would be sensational, the pictures do not show enough or do it justice really. During our stay it was quite cold and we found the heating would go off completely in the night, the owner did come and try to resolve this for us and it still did not stay warm throughout the night perhaps something to do with the eco heating system? Overall we really enjoyed our stay, secluded and tranquil. The only recommendations we would have would be the cooking pans, utensils and baking trays could do with replacing in most cases and more adding. And in winter, the one basket of logs for the fire is a bit slim for families groups where that was a main appeal, the owner did bring us more but we did feel bad for having to pester him, maybe a couple of baskets in the house upfront would help that. Also take a potato peeler!

This was a sentimental family trip to the Highlands and Sobrachan delivered the PERFECT setting for us. Fully stocked with all you need and very welcoming so you settle and relax instantly. Perfect views all around you and walking trails easily accessible. Stargazing in the hot tub was a highlight for us and we will return Massive thank you to owner, Andrew!

We where excited to find somewhere that ticked all our boxes, of mountainswatercomfort and was reasonable priced, the house, location and even the weather did not let us down. Sobrachan was really excellent and Andrew could not have been a better host, lots of information about how to make the most of and respect this lovely modern, bright but cosy house. The garden was exciting to explore and shows how much care and effort is taken across the whole property. We will definitely look to come back, to see the stunning landscape in springsummer and explore more of all that the location has to offer.

Fantastic house in amazing scenic area. Stars were so bright as nothing for miles. Will definitely book again.

Fantastic property in a absolutely stunning setting. Perfect for relaxing and a good base to explore the the Highlands from. Excellent and helpful host.

The house and grounds were gorgeous and just what we expected based on the description! The gardens were truly magical and we loved out stay here.

Stunning accomodation but, very remote.

Fantastic house in the middle of nowhere the Gardens Park are stunning you could easily spend a day exploring.

Andrew deserves 5 in every way, we had a fantastic holiday. The gardens are so beautiful. Sobrachan gave us everything we wanted and more, comfort, space and spectacular views. We will return!

Sobrachan is one of those places that you don't want to tell the rest of the world as its very special and you want to keep it a secret. The house is very well maintained and is totally off grid as the house boasts heating lighting cooking and copious hot water all generated by its own hydro pump house from the streams that run through the land . On the side of the house there is a very large sun terrace with cast iron table and chairs very nice , and leads to the well maintained fairytale gardens with streams , bridges , waterfalls , even a full sized suspension bridge built by the owners ...Great piece of engineering guys . The views from inside and out are breathtaking and the house is perfectly located on the 10 acres of land . On the rear of the house is a decking area with table and chairs with views across the Loch look out for the sunrise and sunsets amazing beautiful and just blown away how special this place really is. Andrew the owner was friendly and very helpful even offered to ask if there was anything we wanted from the nearest town as he was popping across there 30 minutes away nice guy. Other people I would like to mention Ian I think he was the groundsman was very friendly and loved talking to him , also Andrews father sorry I can't remember his name but what a lovely 80 year old gentleman very nice to talk too . The water comes from the beautiful stream running through the land and goes through a group of filters and then is passed through a UV light before it gets to the tap Wifi is good and strong throughout the property and outside coverage is good as well , 4G is a bit of hit and miss but still connects outside . So the big question is would I go again ? ....YES IN A FLASH .

Beautiful house with an amazing garden. Lovely view of loch awe and mountains.

Amazing house in an amazing setting. A cozy well equipped home from home with the most amazing views.

Sobrachan is the perfect getaway location Andrew is continuously helpful prior to your arrival and during your stay From the extensive gardens available for guest use to the various local attractions we filled our 2 weeks in Sobrachan with ease in this new normal of socially distancing. This was our 2nd visit and we predict we will be back

The house itself is finished to a very high standard but this is dwarfed by its spectacular location and the beautiful, well managed grounds in which it is set. We had an amazing week, blessed with wonderful weather. Wed definitely recommend.

The house overall is exceptional! ! The rooms and beds were comfortable and the amenities were second to none. The owner Andrew was incredibly helpful and contactable in many forms. The house is in the top 1 of energy efficiency which is brilliant but also makes the house incredibly hot in the evenings, as all windows had to be shut due to midges. This being said, we all had an amazing time and the gardens and grounds are like walking around a National Trust park.

Weve just returned from a weeks stay in Sobrachan House & would highly, highly recommend! The house itself is immaculate, comfortable, extremely spacious, modern yet with character beautiful antique furniture is in every room. The kitchen facilities were excellent in terms of the cooker & hob, however an upgrade in pansbaking trays would really make a difference as well as a draining board for drying dishes. The location is off the beaten track, literally! But I think that this is the big appeal of this property. The feeling of complete isolation & privacy was something weve looked for and never quite found but this exceeded our expectation. In the evenings we would sit in the hot tub, switch all the lights off and watch the stars, without a single street light or light pollution... it was a special feeling and quite surreal at times. The log fire is just perfect after a day out in the cold weather. We did go through quite a lot of fire wood though as its a big stove! The house is down a very long and winding road but you soon get used to it we were venturing out most days however if youre looking to spend most of your time at the property Id advise to stock up in the supermarket as the closest is about 25 minutes away. The private gardens were spectacular, like having your own wee secret garden. There are waterfalls and little bridges everywhere you turn, as well as beautiful stone work. The owner Andrew was very pleasant and helpful with all of our queries, although we didnt have to be in touch much as the information pack is thorough. There are games provided which I thought were a nice touch chess, cards, monopoly, Pictionary! As well as dozens of books & DVDS. If youre looking for adventure then a day trip to Glencoe ski slopes are a must. We went up on the ski lift, where the scenery was breath taking. We tried again another day but the wind was too strong for the ski lift. Id also recommend the hidden valley at Glen coe for a hike, or even just for pictures opportunities from the road side. Another nice day trip is to Oban. Loch Awe at the bottom of the road is stunning, and well worth a walk down for pictures & to watch the sun set. All in all a brilliant holiday with many memories to cherish, thank you!!

This is a stunning house in a gorgeous location. We had the most relaxing holiday here and would go back in a heartbeat. Andrew the host, made us most welcome and was there to greet us and show us round the house. He also provided a welcome basket which was very thoughtful and useful if you arrive late. It is very remote which was perfect for us but go prepared!

Sobrachan is a wonderful property and we would highly recommend it! The house is in the most beautiful setting overlooking Loch Awe, it is secluded, perfectly quiet and truly relaxing. The gardens are huge, very interesting and stunning with streams, bridges, waterfalls and very well cared for. The house itself is of the highest quality, very comfortable, very well equipped, beds are comfortable and it is modern and well decorated and cared for, the kitchen was spotlessly clean and bathrooms lovely. The hot tub was very clean as Andrew the owner takes great care to ensure it is spotless, Andrew is exceptionally helpful in every way. The house is quite remote so if booking you can book an online Tesco order for the morning after you arrrive which was well worth it and recommended by Andrew. This is by far the most exceptional holiday home we have stayed at and whatever the weather, it is a beautiful place to be.
