Really lovely place, helpful host and great area! So much to do right on your doorstep.

The entrance to this site is a bit lethal due to the sign being too far back and obscured by bushes. The owner gave very explicit instructions probably because of this. The traffic is fast on this road so I found it dangerous, especially coming from Dunoon to turn off. The actual entrance is narrow with not enough room for 2 cars if you had to turn quickly into it. The lodge itself was well equipped, warm and great for walking from your doorstep.
