The five of us fitted very snuggly into Strae cabin. My eldest son loved the bed that is built into the lounge ceiling. The location is lovely, right on the edge of the forest, plenty of wildlife and the burn to watch. Loch Awe is beautiful, we hired a boat and had a great day out exploring the island with the castle ruin. We also hired bikes for 3 days, there are some fantastic traffic-free tracks along the loch and through the forests. My husband managed these with a tag-along attached to his bike. The social club is very friendly with quiz night and live music weekly. Also the bar and grill produced some unforgettable meals. We were very lucky with the weather, only having one really wet day followed by glorious sunshine when the boys swam in the loch. All in all, this was a brilliant holiday, we are thinking of returning one day which is unusual for us.

Be prepared for the 15 mile trip there and back when leaving the site to go anywhere, allow 30 mins each way for this at least.

There is no mobile coverage for a number of networks, so please do not count on that.

The bedding and furniture is uncomfortable and requires an upgrade.

if you want to escape from the world - this is the place to be....no traffic, other than the deer crossing the road n the ospray flying overhead....wonderful setting in the forest/wood for the cabin and a two minute walk to the loch.
If you're lookin for luxury - look elsewhere.! The cabin
is basic and is in need of a little tlc and updating but does the job in hand. All in all, a lovely stay - thank you

We arrived late at the cabin, and the owner very kindly waited up to give us the keys, so service was good. The cabin itself was very disappointing... It wasn't very clean and decor was basic and outdated. Heating was impossible to turn on with no instructions anywhere. The guestbook was filled with similar issues, so this has been addressed, but no action taken. Having rented the cabin for one night when having friends visit Scotland from abroad, it was very disappointing. The location, whilst being nice enough, was not remote. There were a number of cabins in a very close proximity so it didn't feel secluded at all. We traveled 2 hours (one way) off track to get to this property hoping it would be a charming, secluded cabin. As a place to crash for one night, it sufficed, but had we signed up for any longer, we would have requested a refund and left. We were 3 adults, and it was a squeeze. It sleeps 5, but even two adults for any longer than one night would have been uncomfortable. Value for money was... poor.

Sloy cabin offers you a well planned compacted accommodation for a week away from home...the kitchen is fully equipped for basic cooking...a bleach spray is always good to travel with and due to the compact size is quickly taken care of.

Well rested and a little fitter after our stay, bike hire is a must to explore the hidden area and beauty of this little part of the world.

Just back from 4 nights in the Strae cabin at Loch Aweside Holiday Park and thoroughly enjoyed the break. Booking was simple, access was as easy as knocking on Irene's door and picking up the key and we weren't disappointed. In our opinion the location on the park was perfect - just away from the water front enough to avoid the breeze, away from the playing field for a bit of privacy and not buried in the woods and the constant 'twilight' - we had an open view across the stream, plenty of light and only 200 yds from the waters edge. It's also one of the few cabins with it's own fire pit which really made the holiday for us - you just can't beat marshmallows toasted on the open fire.
Size wise the cabin was perfect for the four of us with a comfortable double bedroom and bunk beds for the kids (11 +14) with another two bunks available for when they fell out! Everything in the cabin worked as it should (TV, DVD, heaters, showers etc) so no complaints there but in fairness some elements could do with an update. The couch had seen better days in terms of comfort and the cooking equipment was only just capable of feeding four hungry mouths - sharp knives and some bigger pots would make a difference - especially as there's aren't really any option of eating out within a 10 mile radius. Anyway - the benefits far outweighed the slight niggles and it didn't spoil the holiday for us.
Make sure you stock up before you head down the 14 ml single track from the main road as the shop in Dalavich only has 'emergency' supplies like biscuits, pot noodles, ice cream and alcohol - no bread or milk !! Plenty of supermarkets in Oban but a great butchers and grocery store in Taynult which has all you really need!
There are some nice walks through the forest straight from your cabin door and the rental also comes with fishing rights for Loch Awe (from the site only).
All in all it was great value for money, a comfortable, cosy cabin in a great location both in terms of the site and the location on Loch Awe - brilliant scenery all around, a peaceful setting and plenty to do.
We will certainly go back to the same cabin again and as mentioned - one or two upgrades would make all the difference !
