The house is set in outstanding gardens, with views of either the gorgeous gardens or Loch Awe from every room from the super size windows.. An excellent location for getting away from it all The newly installed hot tub is an excellent addition which was enjoyed by all ages. The plus for us is that it sleeps 7 adults, 1 teeenager and 1 child with ease, not many places have 4 double beds and 2 good size singles (zip beds so could be 5 doubles) The kitchen/utility with its 3 ovens, 2 fridges and numerous cupboards was ample for our Tescos delivery service (get in quick if you want this as it goes the same day) Cannot wait to return next year

We had a really amazing time at the cottage.. It’s warm, comfortable and has all the facilities you need. The hot tub was beautiful and warm after days of walking/cycling. There is plenty walking and cycling in the area but the house and gardens are beautiful to relax in and walk around. Would highly recommend it.

This was a gorgeous home on a spectacular property, and the pictures don't do it justice.. All of the facilities were elegant and modern, and the views of the loch and mountains were breath-taking. The garden on the property was an oasis. We were particularly pleased about how accessible the house was, as one of the guests had significant accessibility needs; the entire first floor of the house (with bedroom and bathroom) was entirely accessible.

Host and house were absolutely perfect.. Just the orad leeding to the house was quite difficult (10 miles single track road).

Sobrachan is set amongst some amazing scenery and countryside with 10 acres of beautiful gardens to explore.. Extremely rural but exactly what we wanted, peace and tranquility in abundance. The owner met us and was extremely helpful, a great host, he even provided us with lots of goodies and the essentials in a welcome hamper, thank you. There were 8 of us and although the seating in the lounge area was a little uncomfortable for all of us, it certainly did not spoil things. The bedrooms are spacious, the master especially with fantastic views towards Loch Awe and the en-suites, especially the showers were amazing. Everyone commented on how comfy the beds were. I cooked the family meals and found the kitchen very well equipped, although a few more pizza trays would have been useful. Loved the island, great when dishing up. All in all a fantastic break away, thank you for everything. We can not recommend this beautiful property enough. Perfect 10 from us.

We found the owners of the holiday home very helpful and nothing was too much trouble for them.. The gardens were absolutely stunning and exceeded our expectations particularly the waterfalls and the suspension bridge over the stream and the views were amazing!

This cottage is simply wonderful.. It is the dreamed house you would like to have in your daily life, equipped to the highest standards and very well designed. The large bay windows make you feel outside, in the stunning views on Loch Awe (although the perfect insulation allows you to never feel cold nor too warm). WiFi connection, phone connection and plenty of DVDs for those who like the cottage so much that they want to stay inside. But also plenty of other marvels on hand for those who like outdoor activities: an incredibly beautiful and huge landscaped private garden (with a suspension bridge and many benches to enjoy what is, in fact, more like a royal park than a mere garden), plenty of places to visit Historic Scotland (castles, chapels, dolmens, cairns), many fishing spots (licences can be bought locally, very close), plenty of other activities (sailing, treetop adventure, horse riding, etc) and walking paths galore for those who, like us, enjoy hillwalking. The owner was always here to help when we needed his advice on where to go, what to do ou where to find this or that. He was also very respectful of our privacy (we mainly exchanged by text messages) although we knew he could pop in in no time should we needed him to be there. In short: a perfect place to stay in Scotland!

Sobrachan is a beautiful house full of space and light with the most stunning views.. Andrew was incredibly helpful and welcoming and gave us useful tips on places to visit. Having said that we were very happy just chilling at Sobrachan and exploring the beautiful estate with its gardens and bridges. We were a group of 2 families with lots of teens and they even loved it, partly assisted with good wifi! Shame weather wasn't kinder but still had a fantastic holiday, thank you.

Sobrachan was set in a scenic lochside location with wonderful views.. The accommodation was very spacious and comfortable and met all the needs of our party. The garden, with its glades, gorge, waterfall and suspension bridge proved to be a unique recreational area that we all loved to relax in. To top it all, our host Andrew was extremely helpful, friendly and informative and we soon felt at home there.

We all had a wonderful stay at Sobrachan! The fabulous house, peace and quiet, beautiful gardens and the view across Loch Awe makes for an amazing setting! We will definitely be back again!

Absolutely stunning property.. It was like staying in a 5 star hotel. The gardens are also a gem. Be aware it is a long way to shops - you will be very isolated. Andrew and his father were perfect hosts. Do take every midge repellent available. They were the only negative to a truly wonderful holiday

Fantastic large house which is very well equipped.. Remote location with stunning views over the Loch, and beautiful gardens with large variety of rhododendrons to wander in. Saw birds of prey circling overhead most days.. Highly recommended if you’re after a peaceful getaway.

Don't bother to look anywhere else because this is simply the best holiday I have had in the UK.. From the outset, this trip with my large group was brilliant, all down to wonderful hosts. The hosts Andrew and Felicity (Flic) were most accommodating, allowing us some flexibility with nights stayed and turnover times to suit those of us who had to drive back home for work after the Bank Holiday Monday. Upon arrival, the cottage was a wonder to behold inside and out. Beautifully crafted and time and care was taken to complete it to a very high and professional standard, especially with the furnishings too. Even though there was plenty to do outside, you would not be disheartened about staying in if the weather takes a turn for the worst because indoors is an experience in itself. The beds were very comfortable and no one had any complaints about them, and the place was spotless too. The facilities were great - the gas BBQ was enough to keep churning out chicken and burgers for 10 hungry men 2 days in a row, internet was very fast with no drop in the connection for those who needed, and there are plenty of games puzzles and even TV. The gardens around the cottage we learnt have been kept by Andrew's father, Philip, for the past 20 years and they are just beautiful. On the first day we went around exploring them only to find a suspension bridge built across a valley with a river which I later learnt was built by said Philip! This on top of the fact the cottage was built by the hosts too was simply amazing. I've stayed in cottages before where the key was left in a lock box and I never even met the host before so this was the first time ever meeting a cottage's owner, and Andrew was most helpful during the trip, coming to make sure our water was running, checking if we needed anything, leaving us a beautiful hamper with local produce on arrival, and just being a joy to talk to and learn about the surroundings and also his and Flic's own history. The surrounding nature and landscape was nothing like we had seen before. We went down to Loch Awe which was beautiful to walk along, and found paths up into the hills and mountains for those of us who liked to do so, but best of all was we discovered a little rock pool at the foot of a waterfall just 10 minutes walk from the cottage. After we met with Andrew after and told him, he enthusiastically told us that we went to the wrong one, and that there was an even bigger waterfall and pool just 5 minutes away! Which we promptly went to and this was certainly the highlight of the trip which we would have missed had it not been for Andrew's local knowledge. Andrew, put it in your brochure! Your guests will miss out! All in all I honestly couldn't fault the hosts nor the accommodation and I am sure had I had any issues, the hosts would have been more than accommodating and helped us in any way. Thank you Andrew, Flic and Phillip for an amazing stay and I will most certainly be returning, hopefully when you've installed your sauna! Regards, Mo PS if you like dogs then there are plenty to play with who just love guests

Exceeds and excels in every aspect.. We have been to rural Scotland a few times with our young 3 children, usually with another family of similar size with us also. Sobrachan is a hidden treasure. It exceeded every expectation for both families. Stunning design, views and light all throughout. Then the hilly landscaped private gardens, with small bridges, streams and waterfalls running throughout and then the amazing suspension bridge at the top. Kids can roam free and safely. The interior is amazing. Pics don’t do Sobrachan justice. I really don’t want to give too much away as i would really want you to feel the continuing pleasure of surprises Sobrachan has. It really is a credit to Andrew and his efforts. He is brilliant, helpful and overall a lovely person. Truly a family experience.
