The cottage was lovely, very comfortable and well equipped. A real home from home and Rebecca was a very helpful and friendly host. The range of teas, coffees etc was really nice and the pint of milk in the fridge a lovely touch. All in all a very enjoyable experience that I would certainly do again. I would skdi highly recommend Cruive.

The Cruive is perfect for a break in the Seafood Capital of Scotland, close to the centre of Oban but without traffic noise.

We really could not have asked for more. For someone who uses holiday cottages 3-4 times a year, this was one of the best we have stopped in. Spotlessly clean and everything we could need to hand. Perfectly situated just out of town and an ideal base for exploring the area. We had a fabulous time! Thank you!

Great property done to a very high standard. Very well equipped. Communication with owners very good. Basically this is a home from home and very comfortable.
