Incredible House, Property, People, and Experience
Our stay at Achnacloich for part of my stag party was truly amazing. The house is historical and beautiful, yet cozy with a wonderful living area and fireplace. The property is breathtaking with incredible views of the loch and surrounding land. The caretaker and gamekeeper are very kind and helpful and you can arrange shooting or fishing with the gamekeeper very easily. The property is also a quick 10 minute drive from Oban and provides easy access to surrounding landmarks and sights. Overall would definitely recommend a stay at Achnacloich and rate it 10/10!
