Booked a 3 night stay at Achaleven Byre as our first stop-over for our Scotish touring holiday in May 2013 based solely on its location (near Oban) and TripAdvisor ratings. To say we weren't disappointed would be an understatement. It was a home from home with far more facilities than we have experienced in self-catering accommodation. Beata made us very... More

Achaleven Byre is just stunning..... Just spent one night, but will definitely go back for more :) Beata is a lovely person and made us feel very welcome. The byre is cosy, has a lovely garden area and totally peaceful,The bottle of wine which was chilling in the fridge was a lovely touch.

What a lovely cottage. Easy to find and excellent value for money. It had everything we needed and more. The cottage was spotlessly clean and really snug. We will definitely return for another quiet break.

Achaleven Byre is the perfect self-catering get-away. The Byre itself was spotless and had everything we required. The bed was one of the comfiest beds I have ever slept in with high quality sheets/bedding ensuring a great nights sleep. Travelling with young children is always a worry, however the Byre was perfect and Beata made sure we had everything we... More

My wife and I spent a fortnight at Achaleven Byre. Our fourth visit and already looking forward to our fifth. Everything clean and tidy and there were lots of extras that were appreciated. There are several games to play in the evening and the TriDominoes game was regularly used. Plenty of animal life to see - cows, turkeys, chickens, rabbits,... More

Achaleven Byre is a beautiful place. There was a warm welcome from the owner and we were very touched that she had provided breakfast items, plus tea,coffee,milk, etc, in what is essentially a self catering apartment(.So kind, thank you very much). Everything was beautifully appointed and exceptionally clean and comfortable. Very well equipped kitchen area.We were only here for one... More

This cottage is very well equiped, clean, comfortable and welcoming. The owners are also very welcoming, friendly and helpful. Absolutely everything you could need has been thought of and put in the Byre for your use. It is in a lovely peaceful setting in a beautiful area, but with plenty of things to do reasonably close by. We'll definitely be... More
