"Left a review on trip advisor."
Owner never seen during the week. Wont be going there again or using Sykes for booking a holiday again.
Oh I am so sorry! I presumed all was well, we live on site so if there are any issues we can deal with them quickly. We usually have very good reviews and feedback back and we always have a high standard of cleanliness. I am sorry again if there were any problems we were not aware of.

"Lovely location, cosy and had everything we needed, Mark was great, came to check on us a couple of times during our stay, couldn't be happier."
Waking up to that view every day was priceless. The marina views are also spectacular.
The only thing I would change is ask for a comfier sofa, but that's just me.

"Due to ongoing diversions spoilt our holiday because Skye/Mark should have rescheduled or cancelled holiday."
As they were aware of situation on area, Mark also made comment on low cars not being good for the surrounding areas and damage to the road. as previous person Katie who stopped even commented on locals and people having to be airlifted out of the area due to the previous storm. I can appreciate diversions however not 2 and a half hours every day to get and visit surrounding areas. We understand it is Mother Nature however this could have been rescheduled as Skye and mark would have known about the local conditions prior to us arriving. We were looking forward to this break and left after 2 days out of 7, I genuinely feel like I have been ripped as current cost of living situation, we worked hard to pay for this trip for 2 days I genuinely feel like I have just burnt £600 which could have been rescheduled or put towards another stay later in the year.

"We really enjoyed our stay at Kelpie."
The property is in a lovely location looking onto the water, perfect for watching the local wildlife. It was very comfortable and was well equipped with everything we needed. Croabh Haven is a good base in the area with lots of nice walks and beautiful views looking towards the islands.

"We should of been told our holiday was cancelled, it was dangerous to be there."
We asked if we could move our booking to another week on Saturday late afternoon when all roads were blocked with landslides or flooded, it was extreme weather conditions with many people being airlifted out. It would be dangerous for us to be there, but you didn't cancel! We managed to get through by early evening on Monday having taken a two hour detour. Then spent the whole of Tuesday with no heating waiting for a plumber to arrive! First one 7.30am, then spare towels to help with the leak late morning, spare part early afternoon finely being fixed about 7pm. Leaving us with just two days holiday and more landslides! This holiday should of been rescheduled.

"Everything in the lodge was just perfect and exactly as the photos show."
It was more spacious than we thought and very well equipped. Helen was never far away if we needed advice. The views were inspiring and we were lucky to see a seal right outside. The area is just so peaceful, we didn’t spend enough time there as we wanted to make the most of our time in Scotland. The local pub does amazing food and a great choice of beer. We went on a local charter boat tour with Tony at Farsain who gave us a great 3 hours out in the local waters. All in all a wonderful holiday.

"A fantastic stay in a lovely property surrounded by natural beauty."
We spent mornings and evenings relaxing outside with views across the Loch, watching the wildlife right in front of us including seals and various birds. It’s so quiet and peaceful there and the perfect place to get away from a busy work life and relax. There’s plenty of places to explore in the local area and we enjoyed a boat trip from Craobh Haven marina to watch wildlife including sea birds, eagles, red deer and harbour porpoises! The property itself has everything you need for a comfortable and relaxing stay. I highly recommend this property and will definitely be booking again in the future!

"The property was fantastic, the owners very welcoming and accommodating."
Lovely location. Lots to do, walking, horse riding, fishing, mountain bike riding, swimming, kayaking, places to visit etc... you only have to look! 35 mins drive to Oban and 25 to Lochgilphead, where you can find all the normal shops i.e., Tesco (Oban), Co-op (Lochgilphed) take outs, restaurants, pharmacies etc.
The view on to the loch was stunning with lots of wild life. The owners very kindly placed a pair of binoculars in the window of the lodge for you to use, which we did and spotted the seals.
If you are thinking of staying at Kelpie, you WILL need a car.
