The house and views are fantastic, our dogs loved the water only yards from the from the house and the different walks from the house too. The garden was secure for the dogs to wander about safely. There is plenty to do with Oban near by with its lovely restaurants, sea trips, shops and Inverary with its lovely views around the harbour and the castle to look around. Its a perfect location

I am reluctant to review this holiday home as it’s probably the best I’ve ever been to! I don’t want it to be booked up every time I want to come! This was our second stay, first time it was with our friends, this time it was with our family! Sayings it’s perfect is an understatement! The accommodation is fabulous, plenty for a family of 6 adults and 3 dogs! The other great thing, is that the sleeping area is away from the living area…. So my daughter who gets up at 4am….. could use the gym, make food and potter without disturbing the rest of us, and those who want to stay up late can do so without keeping anyone else awake! The view from virtually every room is breathtaking! The situation is perfect for water lovers and dogs alike! One daughter bought her paddle board, so was out most days, the dogs loved being able to walk out a gate and be in the loch side! There is nothing that I see as a negative about Point Park, except that it is so popular and more people are finding it! So, book and enjoy you will NOT be disappointed!
