Point Park is a beautiful cottage. We had a lovely time exploring the area. It is central for visits to Kintyre, Glen Coe, Fort William, Inverary, Oban and much more. Perfect for dogs. with a mature garden for them to explore. Loch Etive is literally on the doorstep. It was early season and a lot of shops were still closed as was Inverary Castle and Gardens but walks still available in the grounds. Walk Highlands is an invaluable website. The view from McCaig's Tower over Oban is quite special as is St Conan's Kirk on the shores of Loch Awe. It is being restored and relies on donations but is a fabulous building full of history. Taynuilt has a lovely little shop and beautiful walks from the doorstep. The cottage itself is comfortable, cosy and well equipped in a stunning location. It has everything you need for a brilliant holiday.
