Great wee cottage will everything you need. Really quiet location but with the Holly Tree hotel just 15 mins walk away. Take the path between the two garages at the back of the cottage. Path a bit overgrown so persevere. Much safer to take this path than walking along the road. Cottage not far from Oban in one direction and Ballahulish and Glen Coe in the other direction. Plenty of walks around the area.

We loved our long weekend at Bayview. The scenery is stunning. The cottage is cozy and the cycle path behind is so handy. The Holly Tree Hotel lets you access the pool and the bar/restaurant and has lovely views. We hope to come back.

What a beautiful little cottage overlooking Kentallen Bay! Has everything you could possibly need; fully equipped kitchen, cosy lounge/diner, two bedrooms, shower room, WIFI & TV. This is a stunning part of Scotland with plenty to see and do nearby. A perfect get away to celebrate my 50th birthday.
