Having booked a number of these lodges several times for 5 of our squads working in Oban we have always been impressed and received excellent feedback from our team, we will be using the lodges frequently when staying in Oban, they are lovely, clean and the site is an amazing set up, Katie has been an excellent host.

A returning customer to a little slice of paradise.

The lodge was, as always, 10/10 for location, facilities, cleanliness and comfort.

The customer service is outstanding, perfect.

A lovely week with my daughter and my dog Skye, we spent the days walking Skye around the site, and down the beach at Ganavan Sands, so relaxing, the site and chalets are excellent, and being doggie friendly is great.

The cabins are very comfortable and very close to Oban, although you have to negotiate a single track road. It is a beautiful, quiet area with lovely dog walks. Once onsite there is everything you need including a laundry and a restaurant (check opening times). The cabin is comfortable, there is wifi and a TV (use your own login for streaming services). There is a shower but due to the site situation there is no mains water supply, so the shower is inadequate and care should be taken with temperature control. But there is a bath. We had a very enjoyable stay.

The cottage was clean, warm and cosy with everything we needed for a short break. It was situated so that we didn’t see into other cottages but the hillside and the sheep. The sound of the wee burn running past added to the feel of being remote. Loved it.

We ate in the Barn Bar twice, both times the food was perfect. We had a good range over the menu, steak pie, burger, fish - couldn’t fault it. Staff very friendly.

Everything is there for you. Clean, very comfortable accommodation and a great bar within walking distance who also serve meals if you are lazy and don't want to cook for yourself. All in a quiet child friendly, and pet friendly site but within a few minutes drive from Oban and the shops,supermarkets and entertainment, not to mention, in my opinion, the best fish and chip shop in Scotland. Couple that with a very friendly and helpful staff and ownership... what more could you wish for?

We had a lovely stay at # 6. The cabin was very well presented, exceptionally clean and freshly decorated. Everything was there that could be needed and the beds were comfortable and cosy. The location is great with walks out of the door and we found a very friendly taxi that was readily available for the quick trip into Oban. We took a ferry to Mull and bus up to Tobermory and the whole day was very easy, even to picking up fresh seafood to eat at the cain. We used the Barn on Monday evening ~ very friendly service and delicious food. All in all we highy recommend.

Huge thanks to Katie and crew for our fabulous stay over our wedding weekend.
I stayed with my attendants on Friday night and my husband and I stayed for 2 nights after.
Katie was always available to chat and sort any issues (not that there was many) on the lead up to not only our stay but family and friends who also had booked.
The chalets being next to the barn was ideal for breakfast and dinner.
The chalet felt very luxurious and we loved the decking, especially for sky gazing.
The wedding gift and card was also very appreciated. Thanks again for making a special weekend even more special.

Booked for a two night stay with my partner and parents. Communication from Katie was spot on from the start. Lodge was one of the two bedroom ones and was perfect for our needs. Although the lodge is not in brand new condition I really can’t complain about any aspect. Beds were spotless clean and comfy. Lounge area had dining table and a couple of small sofas. Kitchen area had absolutely everything we needed and more. The location is perfect. We had an evening meal in the Barn and it was excellent quality and the staff were really polite and friendly. Wi-Fi worked well and TV reception was good. The whole site was very quiet and peaceful.

Who doesn’t love to find a cosy spot where you can “drop off the grid” and decompress? This is a wonderful spot to do just that. Lovely walks, no internet (unless you choose to sign into the WiFi), self contained cabins and if you want there’s the Barn Bar with cooked food available and a well stocked bar. Lovely people who do everything to make your stay easy. Thank you so much.

We had such a great stay at Cologin Farm. A great location for getting out and exploring with a young family. The play park was great for both our 7 and 1 year old. A very well equipped lodge with everything but the decor was slightly tired. Helpful and friendly staff welcomed us to the lodge and were very helpful when our WiFi went down. The problem was resolved very quickly.
Overall great holiday, we will definitely be back.

Late booking for family of 3 heading to Mull to help break up the journey. Excellent communication from the host and everything we needed was available in the lodge. Slight smell which we believe would’ve been from dogs previously using however we were aware this was a possibility and didn’t ruin the trip. Stunning location and weather great . Thanks !

There was nothing we did not love about Cologin Farm and the Lodge. A lovely lodge, with plenty of room and so comfortable, just like being at home. Everything was just perfect for us. All the staff we met including the owner Katie were so nice, friendly and welcoming . We had a superb roast dinner the first evening we arrived in the Barn so a big shout out for the chef to say how much we enjoyed it. We enjoyed staying in the lodge so much that we changed our plans and stayed another night longer. Thank you Katie for being able to accommodate us. Your farm is a lovely place to stay and when we are able to holiday again in Oban will definitely book again.

Quality is above the price point compared to many other similar cottages around Oban, I was actually a bit surprised - most places charge more and deliver less. The cottages are slightly aged (which is clear from the pictures before you book), but reasonably maintained. Bedding and mattresses are above average. There is a hint of professionalism you don't get in single cottages - fifteen or so cottages have a person taking care at all times on location - thank you Katie, you were wonderful :-)

The design of living space, kitchen, and fenced outdoor patio is well thought out, great for a couple to comfortably enjoy and have a lovely view. Four people would probably be slightly crowded. The fridge is really tiny... like most cottages :-) The sliding glass door was perfect for our old dog to just lounge there and judge the scenery.

There is a separate laundry (one for all) with washer/dryer that takes one pound coins (have five or six of them) to operate.

We had a two night stay at Cologin and it was perfect for us (2 adults and our dog). Situated just outside Oban in the peaceful Glen was great for a quiet break whilst within easy reach of all things we had planned for our stay.
Katie was friendly and welcoming, keeping in touch from booking to meeting us on arrival. The site was tidy and the lodges perfectly sited for privacy, views and easy parking.
Inside the lodge was spotlessly clean and the only criticism would be the fixtures and fittings were a little tired but everything in working order and serviceable for a comfortable stay. A wee update on this front would definitely justify the £150 per night price tag.
That said, we would consider staying again if looking for somewhere in the area.

We had a great week chilling out my daughter,my dog and I spent a quiet week, taking our dog Skye for walks, and going to Ganavan Sands, Skye loves it, we get her down to the beach for a run about, and maybe a wee paddle. There’s, even toilets there.
Cologin is for us, as you can go walks stay in and the added bonus is the Barn, where they serve delicious meals or just go for a drink food delicious.Katie and her family do a marvellous job, we will hopefully back up next year.

We all loved our stay at Cologin Farm. It’s a great set up nestled in the countryside. The pub and restaurant on site is such a bonus, especially after a long day of sightseeing. Lodge was very clean, it’s a bit tired, could do with better mattresses and the sofa’s were not very comfortable. Katie, the owner, was excellent, nothing was too much trouble. It was well worth the money and I would definitely recommend a stay.

Your site is beautiful and peaceful, the lodge was well presented and well equipped. The Barn on site was the icing on the cake. Could I make 2 points which I hope will be helpful to you:
1. In our cabin 15 the directions on the cooker front have been washed away! The
drawings we found in the drawer meant very little to me, as a lifelong user of gas.
There was a lot of guesswork involved to use the oven. Use of a sharpie pen to
indicate oven on or grill on would be an easy solution.
2. You obviously consider environmental issues in your use of products provided but
gave no instructions in the welcome booklet about recycling. We recycle at home
and would love to do it on holiday too. Other places I have stayed have clearly
marked bins for different rubbish. We resorted to leaving bottles by the Barn in the
hope they would recycle them with their own.

Thank you for a great holiday overall

We recently stayed at Cologin Lodges and had a wonderful holiday. The location is superb only 10 minutes from Oban and has lovely views of the surrounding countryside. All the staff were extremely helpful and friendly and The Barn serves great food and drink. The lodge was very comfortable, well equipped and has a great balcony which is enclosed keeping our dog and grandchildren safe though I would suggest a bath mat be provided.

We stayed at Cologin for 9 nights. We were visiting Oban for the Clipper Race that was coming to the town. We knew it was going to be a busy week with 2 small children and a dog and wanted to find some accommodation where we had space for them to enjoy themselves,...........and we found Cologin.

The accommodation and space for the children and dog to run were spot on. Just what we needed after a busy day exploring Oban, neighbouring islands, sandy beaches, beer gardens and restaurants.

We were blessed with some nice weather which meant having the patio doors open and sitting on the decking was something we could enjoy, however even on a wet day sitting in the open plan kitchen area watching a bit of TV was also just right.

The owners checked in on us regularly and helped us with any queries we had. We did some laundry using the facilities which was very helpful.

We will definitely be recommending this to our friends and family.

Me and my adult son having visited Oban previouslyI contacted Oban tourist information who emailed me a list of dog friendly accommodation, included in the list was Cologne described as a haven in the hills having checked out their website we decided to give it a try.
From our initial enquiry all through our stay the holiday experience was trouble free and very enjoyable.
Cologne a haven in the hills does truly live up to its name. We had a two bedroom lodge which we found to be very comfortable, clean and very well equipped. All the lodges are sited to ensure maximum privacy with parking. Cologne hosts a very friendly professionally managed bar restaurant with excellent food and drinks. On our arrival we were greeted by the very polite and friendly staff who pointed out local places of historical interest and some enjoyable walks.our stay was a wonderful experience and look forward to our return.

At arrival we got a WhatsApp message from Katie the manager with Al the instructions to find our home for our stay at the Cologin logde nr 14! It is a very nice way to communicate. Also when we needed some tips for eating out with our dog or nice walks in the surrounding. The lodge is beautiful with a nice veranda outside fully fenced so our dog good loose outside.
The area near Oban is very beautiful with a nice distillery also dogfriendly . In the lodge was much information about dogfriendly restaurants and activities in the neighborhood. Also the Barn ( restaurant at Cologin lodge) is dogfriendly and very nice good food.
The lodge was good maintained and very clean. The only thing why ‘comfort’ is a 4 and not also a 5 is because there is no dishwasher and the shower is in the bathtub instead of stand-alone.
We will certainly come again! Thank you Katie!

We were very impressed with our 2 bedroom lodge. It’s bigger inside than it looks from the outside. It was lovely and clean. Our grandson loved it. The only thing that could be improved was the play park. It looks quite old and the swings are difficult to use because of the ground below them not being low enough. We will definitely stay here again because it’s only 5 minutes from Oban and it’s a really lovely holiday place.

We were upgraded to canna from one of the one bedroom lodges. This gave us a larger space and also a bath which was lovely. The cabin was warm and cosy and we even had a Christmas tree. Everything we could have needed was in the cabin. The barn bar is walking distance and there are some great walks for the dog. I would highly recommend these cabins. We have been a few times now and we will definitely be back.

We recently visited Cologin as part of a birthday celebration for my father. He had never experienced a self catering vacation before, and, as it was his 93rd birthday, we felt that needed to change.

We couldn't have come to a better place - the accommodation was excellent, the location was stunning, and the bar/restaurant on-site was exceptional. I thought that "Muck" was very warm, clean and well equipped. We couldn't have asked for anything more.

Even the weather was particularly kind for the end of October!

We look forward to returning soon.

Many many thanks to the chef at the Barn. He produced my father's favourite dessert without knowing that it was his birthday. Just the thing to magically round off a special day. The food and service was excellent on both occasions that we ate there. Recommended!

Lovely lodges just a couple of miles outside oban in fabulous grounds. The lodges themselves are comfortable and have everything you need for your stay.
The only issue if I had to be picky is the shower could do with being updated as it is very noisy when in use.

Although not in the certain of Oban there is a bar/restaurant on site. Good food and friendly atmosphere it’s ideal to round off your day. We were lucky enough to have traditional live music on the Friday night (Although there are some restrictions on opening days so check ahead before booking).

Definitely want to come back soon lovey accommodation in a beautiful setting.

We enjoyed our stay at eight. It was great that there was an excellent place to eat in the evening, serving great meals. Accommodation was well provided for and comfy. It would have been nice to have a small table and chairs to eat from as well as the breakfast bar.
It would have been nice to meet the owner, and also to be provided with a small welcome pack, eg milk tea coffee and biscuits. Nice to have a cup of tea after a long journey! Most places I have stayed have always provided this .

This is the 3rd time we’ve stayed at Cologin for the triathlon & this was the nicest lodge we’ve stayed in. It was clean, warm & homely. Katie sent us a lovely welcome message & gave us clear instructions. We had a lovely meal in the Barn on Saturday night. A good weekend all round as even the weather was kind.

A few more utensils & plates in the kitchen would be handy but not essential.

Hopefully we will return again. Thanks for having us.

Wanted to stay a little more rural and found Cologin perfect. The lodge was adequately equpped and had all we needed in addition to the quiet and peacefulness. The town was only a short drive away for supplies. Loads to do in this part of Scotland. If you only one could control the weather...

The Barn is a fabulous restaurant - so good to have on-site.

Will definitely return.

We love it at Cologin, the setting is gorgeous and so peaceful yet the hustle and bustle of Oban is minutes away. The lodge was very comfortable, we didn't need anything above what was provided (they think of everything!) and we loved the option for the DVD/sky too, keeping the kids entertained on a drizzly Sunday! The owners are continuously developing the site and the lodges and every time we come back there is something else that we didn't expect - in a really good way. We brought the in laws up with us this time and they had a wonderful stay in the lodge next to is which was perfect. We already can't wait to come back again next year.

The staff were so lovely, we ate there on our first night and, as we are travelling several hours to get to Cologin, what with traffic etc we had to push our booking back a couple of times. This wasn't an issue for the staff at all who went above and beyond to make sure we were well fed. Thank you so much.

The location of the lodge is perfect. Two suggestions. 1. In and around the kitchen area there is too little space between (and because of the positions of) the counter top, the chairs and the table. This can be organized more efficiently. 2. As long as the wifi/internet (now virtually non-existent) problems are not solved, it is impossible to recharge an electric car for drivers without a card from ChargePlace Scotland, because the connection with the website is not stable enough. Also there is no information at the recharging point about how the recharging works.

We had a Great stay at Cologin Farm Lodges. The owners are super friendly and helpful. We loved the cottage placed in the cost valley close to Oban. The surroundings are beautiful. The Barn (restaurant and bar) on the site was very nice,too. Although the kitchen was already closed for the day they didn’t let us leave hungry.
We’d love to come back

We stayed as a family of four adults and two (large) dogs.

The cabin we were given was number 18 which was ideal as it was a corner plot and the dogs had room to roam without bothering anyone.

The loch up the hill was like a little oasis and easily pointed out to us by the owners.

The barn bar was outstanding and the proximity to Oban ideal. We were fortunate enough to her excellent weather and so barbecued a couple of times too.

All in all, cabin 18 was adored by our family

We found the lodge to be ideal for our stay. The surroundings were beautiful, very quiet and unique setting. We loved taking a walk in the woods each night.
The lodge was well appointed however the double bed was not comfortable. The bathroom was also dated and could do with an upgrade. The living room was comfy, with good tv option and access to DVDS. The welcome guide was excellent for providing information on local facilities and activities including the local Kirk restoration which was really interesting.

Our host Katie made us feel very welcome at Cologin and did so even before we arrived. Our cottage was very clean and tidy, with a parking spot for our car. The site also has a Chargeplace Scotland charger (2x 11kW) for EV’s.
The beds were very hard unfortunately and narrow, so sleeping didn’t go well. The bedrooms have more than enough closet space. The kitchen worked fine and had all the necessities, however we mostly ate in Oban or the Barn onsite.
Mobile reception is almost non existent since Cologin is so remote. There is Wifi, but barely working. Katie is working hard to get that improved though. The Barn Bar has excellent Wifi.
Since Cologin is so beautifully located, you can wander of in nature in all directions. In an easy 20 minutes walk you reach the amazingly wonderful local Loch Gleann a’ Bhearraidh.

We had a lovely time staying at lodge number 12. The lodge had everything we needed, it was clean and had a lovely wee deck. It is a very short drive to the busy little town of Oban but it the farm itself was quiet and the surroundings were beautiful. We had dinner at the barn bar and the staff there were lovely and the food was great. Customer service was brilliant. We will be back next time we are in the area.

Used to visit Cologin with my family when I was only little, returned over 40yrs later to celebrate my 50th Birthday. Understandably the lodges have been renovated and updated to a high spec with comfortable well thought out furnishings and modern kitchen and bathroom facilities. Was really happy with the lodge and our two little dogs loved their walks around the site and also surrounding attractions. Really quiet place to relax and enjoy the views of the surrounding scenery. Loved the entertainment system in lodge as had SKY TV for the freeview channels but TV also had Netflix, Amazon & Disney to connect to their WIFI (you will need to use your own log in). As mentioned in their letter and on website the WIFI can be a little patchy but still works great overall. Owners and all the staff we spoke too were really friendly and always happy to help and answer any questions you may have.

The lodges are in a beautiful spot with walks from the door including to a historic site I had never heard of before. The contact from the owners was better than I could have hoped for on the day of arrival and throughout. Being able to eat one night in the barn was a great addition.
The only the Ng! Hat could improve on a great stay was some more up to date/ comfortable furniture.

Fantastic place to stay, off the beaten track, away from noisy roads. And other residents were quiet too, no parties going on all night. Cologin itself is ideally placed, on the right side of Oban for getting to the Puffin Dive Centre where my husband was doing a diving course.
We had stayed in a smaller chalet the last time (4 nights) but as we were here for a full week, with a lot of photography and scuba diving gear, we decided to book a larger one. It suited us down to the ground. Plenty of space with a larger sitting room and bigger kitchen too, which was well equipped. The whole chalet was absolutely spotless.It had a nice outdoor sitting area too which got the sun practically all day.
There is lots of wildlife all around which suited me! From the chalet or road up to the junction we saw Roe Deer, Buzzard, Swallows nesting in the old Barn, and lots of other nesting birds round about. The wee pond had lots of interest too with Damselflies and Dragonflies. We ate at the Barn 3 nights, a big enough menu that we could have something different each night, and it catered well for all tastes.
The only drawback was lack of wifi. I do wildlife photography and record my sightings each evening on a thing called iRecord. I appreciate this is more a wifi provider problem and that BT are working to get faster wifi into the area, but it meant I could not do my recording as the strength was so weak and some times non-existent. Hopefully that will be sorted by the time we return. But that was the only thing that wasn't 100% satisfactory. Could not fault anything else at all and we will definitely be returning.

Very welcoming and friendly. We had dinner on three nights at the Barn and everything was freshly cooked, with a varied menu to cater for all.

We were visiting Oban as a friends weekend to do the 3 Islands tour.

The cabin is a bit tired, and definitely needs a new bathroom and lounge needs updating. However, kitchen and bedrooms were good with nice bed linen, and we had everything we needed for our stay.

The staff and on-site restaurant and bar were excellent. We had a great meal and the staff were fab.

Katie regularly checked in to ensure everything was ok with our stay and we would definitely stay again.

Very clean and spacious chalet in a fantastic location. Great walks on site leading through forests and a loch and a cracking pub on site. Perfect location to stay if you're spending time in Oban or travelling to the island's.

Negatives - basic kitchen facilities- some things in the kitchen lacking like a chopping board and scissors, and some furniture looking tired and decking slippy for the kids. But, overall, with small children and a dog, it was an amazing location, on site climbing frame (although the swings often flooded!) and pub was a bonus and quiet location made it perfect for exploring. Very dog friendly, out labrador had a fantastic week. Katie very responsive and quick to email back and any issuss when there addressed quickly. Would stay again if ever travelling in the region.

We loved our stay at a Cologin! We booked very last minute so weren’t sure what to expect but the lodge was modern, comfortable and extremely well equipped and could easily accommodate our family of five. The hosts were in touch, but not too often, and even popped by to make sure everything was ok. The Barn was closed on the days we visited so will definitely be back to try that too!!

We stayed here for Easter bank holiday. Our holiday was absolutely fantastic accommodation was warm, well kept, had everything we needed and was very comfortable and relaxing!!! The views are outstanding and the swings and the stream were a welcome addition to the children! Katie was a pleasure to deal with throughout the booking and stay process!

We would highly recommend the lodges to anybody.

We had the most wonderful time. Initially we got lost trying to find the lodges but after one phone call the gentleman from Cologin farm came out to the main road and helped and took us straight to our lodge, that’s what I call personal service. Everything we needed was in the lodge, the views from the decking where amazing, we will definitely be back.

We had a brilliant short stay at Cologin lodges, the lodge had clearly just been freshly redecorated which was great and very comfortable. The location was great just outside of Oban to be able to take Luna out for walks in the morning before our day got started exploring the local area. I would highly recommend waking through the forest to the loch, a stunning view.

We were impressed from start to finish.
Katie popped by on arrival to welcome us and make sure we were happily settled in.
We had a little dog with us and it was perfect for her too.
The Lodge was spotlessly clean, had everything you could possibly want for a holiday stay and very comfortable.
The location was about as good as it gets. There were stunning walks straight out the front door, through woods to a beautiful Loch where you could use their boat or fish.
A very short drive to Oban gave you everything you needed on your doorstep.
The Barn pub/restaurant was great. Delicious food on your doorstap with friendly staff, make sure you book!

We hold waterproof mattress covers in stock and would have been happy to provide these rather than risk accidental damage - unfortunately you did not request these so the beds were made up with our normal mattress protectors. Thank you for your feedback regarding access to the bath. This seems to be the result of a recent 'improvement' as we replaced the shower curtain with a glass screen this summer. We have not had any negative feedback from previous guests but we will now address this. I do hope you enjoyed your visit to Cologin and your stay in Oban despite the unseasonal weather.

What a lovely location so close to Oban, but peaceful with country walks from the door and lots of birdlife (happy to be fed!). Katie was incredibly friendly and helpful during our stay, as was Julie in the Barn Bar with our dinner after getting the last ferry back from Mull. Can't fault anything.

No 18 was at the end of the lane so no passing cars or people. So quiet it could have been a property in the middle of nowhere. Also only a short drive into Oban so best of both worlds.
Good communication from the owners before our visit and we were met at the door on arrival.
We would recommend this property and would be happy to visit again.

Wonderful stay at Cologin. Chalet was perfect for two adults and a daft dog! The chalet was very clean, linens were fresh and towels more than adequate. Lots of pots, pans, glasses, cutlery and crockery.(just a very well equipped kitchen). However, I didn't find the chopping board until the night before we left....silly me, never thought to look beside the microwave!! There was decking outside the kitchen door which was great for sitting and enjoying the sunshine.
Only one little niggle, the immersion heater was making a racket(think it might have been on the way out). I couldn't find anyone to report it too(management notable by their absence) so left a note on day of departure. H

This is our 2nd stay at Coligin and I loved just as much as the first time. The accommodation is spacious and has everything that you need. It is also in a lovely quiet, peaceful location but only a short drive into Oban (approx 10 minutes).

It's great that there is a walk on the doorstep for the dog and also a pub on site should you want a meal or a drink.

Katie was great at accomidating us at short notice with excellent communication. Thanks again and we will definitely be back again for a 3rd visit!

We were looking for somewhere to go for a short break in and around Oban and the farm lodges came up on our search. We are so pleased we booked, as the accommodation and friendly communication made the stay a very pleasant experience.

Another lovely break at Cologin, just wish we could go more often.
The site is absolutely beautiful and very well cared for.
Some lodges are in process of being decorated and I look forward to seeing them on my next visit.
Owners and staff are great, as are Benji and Toby the resident labradors .
A great family holiday, even our dog can't wait to go back .

Cologin Farm Cottages were an excellent base for a week's holiday touring the area. Just a few minutes from Oban we took a couple of day trips over to Mull and Iona and visited the Crinan Canal to the South and Fort William to the north.

Simple but excellent accommodation to house a family of four in a beautiful location near Oban. Easy to find with ample parking and very accessible to the key spots in the area if wanting to enjoy the outdoors and Oban town. A great nights sleep even with the rain outside, staying dry and warm!

Great setting. Clean and well equipped. Wi-fi variable. Very responsive to booking changes x 2 and issue with a lock. A little pricey compared to the house I stayed in skye the week before. Particularly liked the Barn and staff giving on-site access to food and drink. Loved the coastal scenery in surrounding area. Even saw an eagle in woods behind.

Food was generous with good choice and v reasonable. Loved Janet the waitress. Barman v courteous. Beer and wine were good. Availability of on site facility a boon. Shame their tenure of the barn was ending the following week.

We really liked the accommodation and it offered everything it said it would. Facilities were good too and the shower was amazing. It was a really good base for Oban and surrounding area, which was perfect for us and we felt it was reasonably priced compared to similar accommodation and the general price increases in the hospitality sector.

Only minor point we would feed back on would be the kettle - #14's was very leaky and leaked boiling water over your hands and worktop area if not used at the right angle and/or over the sink.

The location was great and Katie who we were liaising with was really helpful, friendly and quick to respond to any of our queries. Overall customer service was excellent - log in portal system was really handy and just right level of info. communicated.

We made several attempts to book an evening for drinks and a meal while we were there, but unfortunately they were full each time. Clearly very popular!

Some of the aspects of the Lodge were looking a little tired. The crockery was miss matched. Only 2 cups but lots of mugs. We were a party of 4 adults who enjoy drinking tea out of a cup. Insufficient pans to cook meals. 2 big pans and 1 small frying pan is not enough. Disappointed the grass was cut and left lying as it was on the entrance into the lodges and our cars. We could not avoid trailing it into the Lodge.

The site is nice, quiet and secluded. We used it as a base for daily trips out to surrounding areas. The Barn bar is lovely and serves delicious meals with very friendly staff, who were very accomodating with my parents who are elderly and disabled. My advice when using the Barn is to book in advance as it gets booked up very quickly, as we found out. We would definitely stay here again in the future.

We enjoyed our week, but having stayed there 40 years ago, it was a little like a time warp! Location was quiet and peaceful and we thoroughly enjoyed visiting the Barn for Sunday Lunch. Perhaps seeing a friendly face from management sometime during our stay would have added the personal touch.

Great location in rural setting. Nice to have a pub / restaurant on site. Kitchen facilities were average and instructions for the cooker poor if you’re used to gas. One or two items missing and WiFi not good, but all in all a good base to explore the area. Great stars at night!

The location of these lodges is amazing as it’s so so peaceful. For us It’s an opportunity to switch off from our stressful and busy lives and take some time to recharge. WiFi is temperamental which adds to the charm as it makes us put down our phones/tablets. No fear of getting COVID here as you’re unlikely to see many people. Short journey away from Oban where you can pick up any provisions and lots of lovely restaurants. We did a private walking tour which was interesting to hear some of the history. The lodges are a great base if you want to visit lots of places but also a great place to unwind. Owners do a fantastic job especially with these challenging times.

Lovely rural location only a few miles from Oban. Lodge has everything you need. Raised decking area was ideal to catch the beautiful sunshine. Our dog loved his home from home and the short walks around the area.
The Barn restaurant next to the lodges serves excellent meals and is very good value for money.

Cabin is basic but comfortable. Great location, there was plenty to do in Oban area. Our boys loved the play area and enjoyed playing with other children on site.

To upgrade the cabin would add more utensils to kitchen. Would like to have had access to laundry facilities or somewhere to dry wet clothes / shoes. WiFi very poor so had difficulty looking for things to do in the area.

Thank you for your feedback. We are very aware of our poor wifi and stress this on our website. This season we are still operating with our Covid policies in place - as per the information provided in our guest information. This has reduced the number of items provided in the kitchen down to the minimum needed. I appreciate that this may be an inconvenience but as per our information if you needed anything you only need to ask as everything is in storage. I am glad this didn’t spoil your holiday and look forward to welcoming you back to Cologin in the future.

After seeing my friends accomodation in number 12 with the lovely clean carpets, and clean worktops and comfortable mattresses, and comfortable none back aching sofa, we felt that we had the unlucky 13. There was no where or no one to report the leaking roof in the kitchen, the bedroom door that was so hard to open my daughter refused to close it for the rest of her stay.

the microwave that had been melted by the toaster from previous guests and the fridge that would not stay closed and the sofa that was stick to the wall and the carpet that smelt like wee as my friends daughter pointed out.

As for the wifi, what wifi ?? in the rooms. Only place we could get it was in the bar and it was very weak and kept dropping out.

the nicest part of our stay was Janet and Glen in the bar, so friendly and accomadating and the food being really tasty.

Thank you for your feedback. I have passed your thanks on to Janet and Glen in the Barn Bar - our guests are very lucky to have this facility at Cologin. The carpets in your lodge were new last year - if there was a problem with their cleanliness then it would have been useful to know on arrival. We have since checked following your comments and can’t find any staining or strange smells. We do know about the fridge icebox door and we will remove it as it is not necessary and does not compromise the icebox. I am sorry you felt the sofa was uncomfortable- we have not had any negative feedback on this before so we will keep an eye on it but it’s a standard black leather sofa the same as we have in many of our lodges and they have never previously caused offence. Wifi is a known bugbear and much as we would like to provide a better connection it is out of our hands. We do make this clear on our website so I am surprised you mention it. We could not find any problem with the bedroom door or the roof. We live on site and can be contacted 24/7 by email, text or via the team in the Barn Bar. I do hope you enjoyed your stay with your friends and I am sorry you felt their lodge was better than yours! Number 12 has had new carrots this season so they do still have that lovely new carpet feel but sadly that won’t last!

Peaceful stay

We had a lovely time at the lodge. Very peaceful and felt like we had a proper break. Oban a short drive away.
Lodge was clean and had everything we needed. A range of cleaning products for our use.
We received a text a few hours before check in time of 4pm to say our lodge was ready and we could check in at 2pm which was fab as we were not far away.
Very spacious rooms and comfortable beds with lots of storage space.
Only moan I would have is the sofa in the living room - when you sat in it, it sank right down so not great to sit on!
Wifi in the cottage was a pain and we had the fire stick as weather not always great but unable to use it as got nothing! So luckily we had board games with us to keep us occupied. To use phones we had to keep running outside but that didn’t bother us but may be an issue for others.
Otherwise the place was great and we would recommend The Barn Bar for eats and drinks as food was tasty and reasonably priced.

We made a reservation a few weeks in advance and glad we did as it was busy. Food was good and we all ordered different meals and all pleased with the standard of the food. Drinks reasonably priced too. Staff very helpful and attentive to our needs. I would definitely recommend it.

Disappointed in our stay at cologin. Lodges very dated and dirty in places. Dusty lampshades, crusty stains on couch cushions, filthy splashes on bathroom blind and built up mould on shower screen. Considering you have to vacate the accommodation at 9.30am on departure day for cleaning purposes due to covid, you would expect immaculate conditions. Zero maintenance of outside area with a lot of dirt in window sills and weeds growing from the step on front door. Certainly not a home from home experience. Expensive rates for what you get. Location was good. Very rural but that suited us. Unfortunately we would not stay there again.

Thank you for your feedback. We appreciate that everyone's views on what they like and find 'home from home' are different but having had lots of happy guests in this lodge all season it was disappointing to hear that you felt the property was expensive and did not suit your needs. What a pity you didn't let us know whilst you were staying that there were some minor issues with the cleaning as we could have sent the housekeeping team back in to dust the lampshades. I am pleased you enjoyed our rural location.

Right the way from booking to checking out, we have had a wonderful experience. All questions and requests responded to with professionalism and enthusiasm. We stayed in lodge 15 last year and it has been considerably updated since then. Very clean and comfortable. Small but loads of storage space.
Really can’t complain about anything. Wonderful location, wonderful weather (slightly unusual) and great food at the Barn.
Will probably book again next year. Thanks again Linda, Jim and Katie.

Having been burned on chalets (they werent) at another location in October my expectations were moderate but the chalet was a pleasant surprise. Well equipped, comfortable and all within 10mins of Oban centre. The Barn was decent for dinner and very handy to have something on site as Oban itself was really busy and everything required booking ahead.
A plus for some was getting a wifi signal was near impossible if you were far from the barn...not so much for the kids!

We love relaxed open spaces, Cologin was a perfect base for 3 nights. Our balcony looked onto the hills and was very private. Lots of space for us 4 plus a dog. Everything we needed was there.
We ate at the Barn bar twice and food was excellent. We wanted somewhere relaxing and quiet Cologin was perfect and we landed with great weather too.

Spent 5 nights at the lovely Cologin Farm Lodges but wish it had been much longer. The accommodation is like a home from home with everything you need and lovely and clean. The lodges are in set in a beautiful tranquil country setting. The Barn is a lovely countryside pub and serves lovely food & drink with the only downside being the limited opening times which I guess is currently due to COVID restrictions. I hope to return very soon.

We thoroughly enjoyed our short break at Cologin. The lodges are bright and spacious and we felt comfortable staying there.
Communication with Katy (manager) prior to our stay was excellent, but unfortunately ‘ The Barn ‘was not open during our stay which made communication harder when we were there as we did not always get a good wi-fi signal.
Small changes could be made to the lodges to make them even better -
1 - a lock on bathroom door
2 -a hook on bathroom door
3 - change to position of unit drawer or oven ( couldn’t open drawer without opening oven door in lodge 7)

Although we only stayed for 2 nights, we had a lovely time. We were a short car journey to Oban, but it felt as if we were in the middle of nowhere, the views around us were beautiful and as we had our dog with us we were able to walk her in lovely surroundings. Lodge was very nice and met all our needs. I would definitely recommend.

Cologin is in a delightful setting with adequate facilities. Scenery surrounding the park is wonderful. Wildlife fantastic.

I felt 2 thin toilet rolls for 3 adults was a bit stingy and even though I did receive an emergency one after I requested this, it was given quite grudgingly.

No oven gloves were available and we had to use one of the 2 tea towels to take hot food out of the oven. By the end of the week these were absolutely filthy!

Could have done with a few more bowls and crockery I felt but otherwise the lodge was very comfortable and we had a lovely time walking and touring around beautiful Argyll and Mull.

I would recommend Cologin to friends and family.

We enjoyed our stay at Cologin. There were a few things missing however, handtowels and microwavable dishes for example. However these were brought over when asked for.
I marked 'comfort and condition' as average as I think the chalet was a bit tired looking, For example the oven shelves were quite rusty, though covered up by aluminium foil.
We did go out a lot anyway. It is in an interesting area. You should publicize the Drove Road which we discovered only on the last day that it goes past the Barn. Maybe in normal times, non covid time, we would have heard more about that?
PS It would be useful to have a sign for the car parking area to be numbered. We had difficulty with others using our slot.

I am glad you enjoyed your stay and we hope to welcome you back to Cologin for a future post-Covid visit. As per our guest information we’ve reduced our batterie de cuisine due to Covid and I am glad that as promised we were able to provide what you needed when asked. We provide one hand towel in the bathroom and bath towels for every guest plus one bath mat but extra towels can always be booked as needed. Unfortunately guest literature has been removed due to Covid and everything is now online. I do appreciate that this does not suit everyone and when we are allowed to return to normal operations we will indeed provide printed information on local walks, history and heritage. The ancient kirkyard at Kilbride is on our doorstep and we usually do promote this hidden gem, sadly during Covid the attraction has restrictions in place so we need to be mindful of the risks if we encourage guests to visit. Thank you for your feedback regarding another guest using your parking space. It does happen occasionally and is usually resolved immediately. We will add a further note to our layout guide sent to all guest for their arrival to indicate the parking space for their lodge.

Great value Lodge in a very pleasant setting.

Very handy for Oban main town and the on-site restaurant was lovely for sit in and take away.
Thank you all so much we can’t wait to come back!

We stayed at Cologin over 25 years ago in Val's Bungalow on a couple of occasions and in a lodge with my parents on another occasion. We brought our son to Cologin as a baby and each year up to the age of 4.
Our son was 21 in May and we made a return visit with him. You couldn't have known at the time, but Lodge 11 is where we stayed with my parents all those years ago.
The customer service we have received from having our trip postponed last year due to the Pandemic and re-booking for this year, has been first class. The communications received from Linda and the text messages from Katie made us feel connected whilst maintaining social distance throughout.
The lodge was spotless and comfortable with everything provided. We visited the Barn on a couple of occasions and I cannot praise it enough. The staff are incredible and an absolute credit to you and the food was of the highest standard. It was lovely to take our dog in there too and see all of the other dogs.
We hope to return again soon and will look forward to seeing you all, hopefully in Lodge 11 which was perfect for us.
Thank you so much for everything during such very challenging times. Stay safe.
Kind regards
Angela, Brian and Lewis x

The chalets have been refurbished since previous visits and have a lovely clean and fresh feel, we love coming here.
Located about 2 miles from Oban, the area is peaceful and quiet yet within easy reach of Oban.
We hope to return again later in the year.

We stayed at Cologin Farm for three nights in May 2021. My favourite thing is the setting in the beautiful countryside, there is lots of wildlife around and there is a short walk through the forest to a tranquil and isolated loch which was a magic moment for us. V good for young children as site is v safe and there is a small playground. Would have like to try the restaurant but it was fully booked by the time we got organised to ask, but we did loan a barbecue which is a great feature! Our lodge was clean, nicely decorated and had everything we needed. We loved it, would recommend, might be back!

We stayed in cologin lodge 9 and 10, we were upgraded free of charge which was very much appreciated. Lodges were lovely and homely. We took all our own supplies and had takeaway food so didn’t use the barn due to it only being open winter hours.
We had a lovely time exploring with the dogs and found the whole area very friendly and well equipped for dogs too.
We had a lovely day at mull with the dogs, which are free on boat and bus to Tobermory.
We hope to return In The better weather, was just what we needed.

Overall we enjoyed our stay here. The chalet was warm and cosy, had plenty of space for relaxing after a day walking and cycling and the decking area at the back was perfect for sitting out and star gazing. The kitchen/dining area was modern and clean. Picky point - the kitchen could have done with a few more pieces of basic equipment eg scissors, more than one chopping board and 4 matching cups plates bowls. Everything else in the chalet suited our needs perfectly.
The site itself looked a bit tired and could do with being refreshed. Also the site is quite far out of the centre of town, uphill but these things did not spoil our stay and we would recommend this site to others.

We enjoyed a couple of nights over a weekend in a cabin at Cologin. We know the area well and knew this was a convenient location for what we planned for the weekend, namely a trip to the island of Lismore with bikes and then a cycle in the local area and walk further south with lunch at Kilmartin the following day. We booked and paid for a cabin with one bedroom and were pleasantly surprised to find we were given a bigger one with two bedrooms. The location is very peaceful but with easy access to the main road and just 10 minutes by car from Oban. The cabins are nicely situated giving privacy and an open aspect.

The location and surroundings are stunning, the staff were friendly. The lodge was lovely but needed some TLC, decor was a tad dated and had a wet dog/damp smell that we tried to cover with a candle each evening even though I requested a pet free lodge. The beds were uncomfortable and the water was yellow from both the bathroom shower/taps and the kitchen. We bought bottled water to drink as we did not feel safe drinking tap water but no signs to say otherwise. The facilities in the lodge were good, for cooking etc and it was very warm and cosy. The place did not feel clean. I understood from the email correspondence that each lodge was given a deep cleaned for every guest but it looked like the lodge had not been deep cleaned in months. There were dead spiders on the wall behind the lamp, cobwebs everywhere and floors were sticky in kitchen/bathroom & carpets looked dirty too. We stayed for 7nts and we were never given fresh towels nor was there any bin bags left for the rubbish. The power also went one afternoon between 3pm-7pm and all guest were contacted but I did not receive a text. We had just been shopping and heading home to make dinner as we had a 3yr old with us. We had to go back out and eat at a restaurant. I checked with the staff member and she did not have my mobile number even though I completed the form online prior to my arrival & they called me back to arrange payment for the reservation. We also asked for candles for when we arrived home just so we had light and she said she would leave them in our lodge which she didn’t. There was no phone signal in area (no their fault) and they did not offer wifi in the lodge so it was difficult to get hold of anyone and unsure if reception is manned. What is more disappointing is they are now on itison.com offering deals for short stays and the pictures shown of lodge are NOT what you get on arrival. We checked out early, had to strip our beds and empty all bins into the outside bin & open all windows to air the place but feel this is more to help so called “housekeeping” than to prevent the spread of COVID19.

Thank you for your feedback. As we are self-catering we don't provide more than the booked number of towels. Guests can request extra towels during the booking process or during their stay from any staff member. Yes our water is perfectly safe to drink - it is tested regularly and we advise folk that it may take colour from the peat in our FAQs. Power cuts are outwith our control but I am glad to say that power was restored quickly. We do provide candles during power cuts but to meet fire regulations they are not provided in any other circumstances and as power was restored before 7pm they were not distributed. You were allocated a pet free lodge as requested. That lodge had been fogged and whilst we do not want to overuse chemicals (which I am afraid do have a lingering odour) we do need to keep staff and guests safe during this pandemic. We don't always get the balance right and we will look at reducing this. I hope you will revisit Cologin in less unusual circumstances as we do indeed have a wonderful location.

A well needed break

At last my daughter, myself and young puppy Skye have arrived. This is a first visit for Skye myself and my daughter it’s like a home in such beautiful scenery peaceful and relaxing only sounds to be herd are the sheep, cows, sometimes you might see a deer or too. You’re only minutes away from Oban town centre shops cafes the beach. All around the site are some excellent walks, I believe Im not a walker. I love going to Ganavan Beach. The staff at Cologin Lodges are all friendly and helpful and in the evening you can visit The Barn and enjoy an evening of excellent food company with your dogs .again friendly staff, can’t wait till next trip.

Great secluded place, took elderly mother who walks with a stroller, next time would book the accessible lodge as space was a little tight in the bedroom to manoeuvre the stroller. But that is a very specific need overall it’s lovely and spacious.

Lovely views. Very clean. A few of points to make:
- DVD player wasn’t working. Not a massive issue for us or would have called to get looked at during our stay.
- thicker pillows needed for more sleeping comfort.
- a few extra cooking utensils would’ve come in handy (peeler, tongs, plastic bowl/tumbler/plate for little kids).
-WiFi rarely worked. Only an issue at times when I had a work project to submit.
- Could be worth considering Netflix or access to more sky channels for customers willing to pay for this service as we had a lot of poor weather.

Lastly, I used Mandarin laundry service in town and I would highly recommend to customers (whilst your laundry is out of bounds).

If you are looking for wow factor this accommodation is not for you, but if you want a clean, well equipped, peaceful place to stay this could be a good choice. Our lodge was a good size - the second bedroom could easily have slept 3 children. The bed was comfortable, the bedding was crisp, there was plenty of hot water, and there was an outdoor sitting area, so it ticked the boxes for us. The location is good and the site is attractive. The food in The Barn was tasty and good value.
The wifi only worked very occasionally and we had no phone reception - couldn't decide whether this was good or bad!
I don't think there was a hairdryer.

We had a fantastic stay at cologin. The lodge was comfortable and well equipped. We had great weather so enjoyed the outside decking and bench outside the lodge. The lodges are surrounded by beautiful countryside very peaceful !
The level of detail and thought to make the lodges safe due to Covid made us feel very safe and able to relax.
We had some evening meals in the Barn bar, the service and food were good.
Would definitely return and recommend cologin.

Really enjoyed our 2 visits to the Barn restaurant, the food and service were excellent.
Lots of things to do and see in and around Oban.
Only 2 very small gripes, the fridge was tiny for four people staying for 2 weeks and as expected the wi fi signal was very poor. Thank you for a wonderful stay. Tracy and family

We had a really lovely short stay in Cologin. The location was absolutely wonderful - we were surrounded by beautiful hills and at night the sky was actually like a canopy of diamonds. The accommodation itself was very comfortable with a well-designed living/kitchen area. The beds were very comfortable too. There was a nice balcony with table and benches and the view from the chalet was gorgeous. In the past, I have found that sometimes chalets are cramped - but this was certainly NOT the case at Cologin at all, which felt spacious. To be critical, the bathroom could have done with a bit of a cosmetic upgrade but, otherwise, it was good - with a very good shower. Great big bath towels were provided for each person plus a hand towel in the bathroom and also tea towels etc in the kitchen. Anti-bacterial sprays and hand washes were also provided. Everything that was needed for cooking was provided - and this was good quality. The TV and DVD player worked well. The chalet had a good number of windows so felt airy as well as spacious. One of the most comfortable places I have stayed in. We would have liked to have stayed longer. The only slight issue for us personally was that none of us drive - which meant taxis in and out of Oban - but that is no reflection on Cologin as we knew this would be the case in advance and it was clearly flagged up on the web page. I have already recommended it to other family members and friends! The Barn is a restaurant/bar which provided very good food - delicious - and very friendly staff. We would certainly go back again. It really was lovely.

We had a wonderful time at Cologin. The lodges were well kitted out and comfortable and clean. It was magical having deer in the grass behind the lodge each night and we loved exploring Cologin forest. The Barn Bar was a great place to take a night off from cooking. I would love to come back here - perfect for our family holiday.

Great location and our lodge was clean and well equipped with everything we needed. Set in a beautiful peaceful location which was safe for the kids to run around and explore. We had a week of amazing sunny weather which meant we could sit out on the decking area. We tried to access the WiFi in our lodge and outside the barn bar however we couldn’t get access. Not a major issue but would have helped us when planning our next days activities.

Thought we were able to walk into Obans ,but road was so poor ,had to get taxis which were expensive . Disappointed we never met any member of staff unable to phone because we had no signal . Went to book the barn for evening meal ,but only could get a carry out was disappointed . staff working in the barn made us feel welcome made sure our take away was ready on time when we arrived to pick it up .

I am sorry that Covid social distancing rules meant that we were not able to welcome you to Cologin in person. DIY check in helps keep our guests and ourselves safe. We did actually see you on site and I apologise for not formally introducing myself. Yes a car is essential to make the most of our location as we advise on our website. In normal circumstances we are happy to give guests a lift into town if they arrive by taxi, but again social distancing guidance means that this is currently not possible. I don’t believe Oban taxis charge any more than anywhere else in Scotland, but of course it will mount up if you are in and out of town regularly even during a short stay. All our guests are advised to book in advance for the Barn Bar as social distancing and an all seated policy has reduced capacity. I am delighted the Barn staff were able to provide you with a take away even though they were fully booked when you wanted a table at short notice. I hope you will return once normal service has resumed - it is difficult to provide our normal level of hospitality when government guidance requires us to keep our distance.

Just back from a fantastic stay at Cologin Lodges. After an issue with our initial lodge the owners swiftly moved us to a new lodge which was perfect for us. When they found out that it was our honeymoon they sent some bottle of wine to our lodge which was a lovely, generous and thoughtful gesture.

The owners themselves were very friendly, as was their fantastic dog Benji who immediately came and introduced himself.

The lodges are in a beautiful location which is still nice and handy for getting into town.

We will definitely be back.

We thoroughly enjoyed our weekend break at the chalet park with our wee dog.
The chalet was spacious,clean and comfortable and we thoroughly enjoyed sitting on the deck with a coffee in the morning watching the deer grazing.
The chalet park is very well situated close to Oban and is a lovely quiet spot to enjoy much needed rest and recreation.
Thank you very much for your hospitality x

The cottage was much bigger than we had thought, perfect for our family of four. We had everything we needed, and were especially grateful that everything was on when we arrived late, wet and cold! The kids loved galloping around the hills overlooking the cottage.

Our only issue was a slightly uncomfortable mattress, though these things are obviously fairly personal. We were both stiff in the morning. Also, we were a little sad to discover after booking that the barn bar would be closed.

I booked a 2 night stay (itison) direct with Linda who was extremely helpful. On the weekend we arrived the weather was awful, cold and wet. The lodge was lovely and cosy, warm and very clean. Living room/kitchen and bathroom has obviously been recently refurbished and looked lovely. Location is peaceful and quiet. The addition of the Barn on site especially in this weather was a god send! We would love to come back in better weather to be able to enjoy the setting more. Highly recommended!!

We enjoy staying in Cologin twice a year - it's handy for the Oban cattle sale and allowing dogs in bar/restaurant and in the chalet is another reason we like it. The chalets are clean and very comfortable and kitchen well equipped - and the heating is better than it used to be! The Barn is ideal for good food and wine and staff are cheerful and helpful.

Nice accommodation on the outskirts of Oban. Weather disappointing when we were there but managed to get out and about in the car.

This was the fourth week we spent since last December and it did not disappoint . The lodge was ready for us and we settled in right away .
Once again we were treated to visits of deer but we only saw 3 young deer . The first time we saw them earlier on in the year there were 2 adult females and 4 young .
The Lodge was warm and cosy and we were soon out and about . This time we stayed mainly in Oban but visited Kerrera by ferry and spent every morning along at the beach at Ganavan sands as on previous visits we had been further afield ( Kilmartin Glen , Mull and Glencoe .

On this occasion we would liked to have gone to the Barn Bar but it was closed midweek when we were most likely to have gone .

My wife and I stayed for 2 nights and found the lodge very comfortable and great value for money.

We chose Cologin as it was close to Oban where 28 years ago we had got engaged at McHaigs Tower.

Nice people running Bar and facility.

Would recommend to others

Cologin Chalets were a great find for a short break. The location was remote and down a country road with plenty of woodland walks. It was perfect, just what we were looking for. We ventured into Oban a short 4.5 miles away easily accessible by car but if like us you are adventurous, you could walk in to town. Chalet was immaculate, Linda was really helpful, allowing us to borrow a few items. The Barn was was excellent for food, drink and it’s cosy atmosphere. We will definitely be back!

Wonderful cabins at Cologin! We are a party of 4 (two adult and two Children) and found the cabin very clean, nice and warm on a cold Autumn day with all the facilitates you would need for a holiday stay. The location is beautiful, you feel quite remote but only a few minutes drive to Oban itself. We did lots of walking and visited the town of Oban for some supplies and hot chocolates. We ate at the Barn Bar as well which was excellent, welcoming and catered very well for my son who has to eat a GF diet, this was no problem at all to the staff.

Excellent service and went out of their way to accommodate my son who is coeliac. He was delighted with his meal. We would definitely visit again!

I booked for a two night stay, the accommodation smelled damp and was dirty. The kitchen bin was full when we arrived and there was dog hair all over the carpet. The couch was felt unclean and too also too small to even be comfortable on. The cottage was very small, luckily there was only two of us, if there had of been 4 it would have been awful. The bathroom is ancient and the water is scalding. There was zero connection to WIFI the entire two days stay!

Linda Battison replied more than 1 year ago

Sorry you did not enjoy your lodge - what a shame you didn’t let us know so we could move you a different property, however I am afraid the Wi-fi would not have been any better as the service we offer is all we can get in our area. The hot water temperature can be controlled by guests - I am sorry the external bin had not been emptied in your arrival. Our trailer had a flat tyre so the bins had to last a few extra days - all internal bins were cleaned and you were only there for two days with two people but applies for any inconvenience. We are perfectly happy with the generous size of our two bedroom lodges. The lounge has a two seater sofa and two armchairs to seat four people. There is no excuse for a hairy carpet and this should have been reported to us immediately so we could send out cleaning staff down with the dog hoover and remedy the problem. Such a shame that you would rather complain after your stay when we are unable to put anything right.

Enjoyable and good for short break..

The cabin had everything we needed. It was prepared well for us arriving, spotlessly clean with heating on and linen and towels set out for us. We were sorry not to have had more time to explore this beautiful and peaceful setting. Perhaps an update in decor/furnishings would have given the cabin the extra wow factor.

Requires new furniture in the lounge. The settee was extremely uncomfortable. No oven mitts, no kitchen towel. Wi-Fi very bad reception. Moss on outside steps making slippery in wet weather. Outside windows had not been cleaned for a very long time.

The lodge was very quiet comfortable clean and warm . My wife and I spent a very pleasant week in the countryside there and found the whole experience refreshing .
This was our third visit and it will not be our last and we particularly liked chalet No.12 as it felt as if it was on its own with views of the natural scenery including wildlife . (We were treated to two visits of deer - a group of 6 and another time 3 ).
We hope to make a 4th. visit ( weather permitting ) later on this year .

If during your stay at Cologin you visited the Barn Bar for a meal or a drink please give us your feedback?
We are not drinkers but we have had very pleasant meals in the barn . However on this occasion our visits were further afield as we did not know when it would be open for meals . It would be a good idea if at the beginning of the visit information was given in the form of a weekly timetable .

Close to Oban in the country side are these well equipped and space Chalets.
We had a wonderfulp week here. Special was our visit to Kilbride church and grounds at sun set where we had a personal tour by Liam.
We would like to have some attention to the maintenance of the 2 waste bins (both damaged) and the oven and extraction needs some cleaning. For the rest was the whole chalet clean and well maintained.

The chalet was bigger than anticipated and worked brilliantly for me and there children and a dog. The place is very peaceful. I believe it was full but you hardly hear or see a soul. We borrowed the boat which was brilliant. The kitchen is basically equipped but does what is needed and I knew I could ask if we needed anything. I used the laundry (take £1 coins). The food in the bar is very ‘pub grub’ but no complaints we found the whole place excellent for what we wanted. It isn’t cheap for three nights but have discovered places around Oban are expensive.

We enjoyed our stay in Lodge 12.
The kitchen was very big which was lovely. The sofa was comfortable and the porch had a beautiful view.
The bathtub in the bathroom was a bit old and not very clean. Everything worked in the bathroom, but could use an update.
The beds were OK, but I could feel and hear the metal spirals inside the matrass when I turned around.
The heaters worked very good!

Also it would help visitors a LOT if you put an information folder/brochure inside each cabin with information about what has to be done for checkout (the garbage, kitchen cleaning yes/no, where to leave the key etc.). Some local info would also be nice (allthough you had folders at the Barn which was nice!).

The babybed and childcot were good, it is nice that you already placed those in the cabin!

If you are looking for quality accommodation in a great location then you should definitely try Cologin. This was not our first visit (my first visit here was as a child over 30 years ago and every return trip since it just gets better). Lodges are great, clean and have everything you need, and the setting is magnificent - only 1.5 miles outside Oban but secluded and peaceful with no traffic noise whatsoever. Perfect base for touring the area.

This is a great property. The chalets are roomy and comfortable, the site offers many stunning hikes, and it's closer to Oban than many negative reviews say. Nonetheless there are a few rough edges that make the property harder to enjoy than it should be. We checked in at the Barn bar, and the harried waitress had no time to answer questions. Furthermore, the decals had worn off the oven in our chalet, and we didn't find the key to oven settings hidden in a drawer for over half an hour--we were hungry on arrival, so that was needlessly frustrating.

The location of the lodge was idyllic. It had all the Facilities needed and was very clean. It was a little rough around the edges in places, especially the uncomfortable sofa and the garden furniture was really rundown and again not very comfortable. We were warned about the slow Wi-Fi but weren’t prepared for how little and slow the Wi-Fi supply was. The beds were comfy and the kitchen well equipped. The food and drinks at the barn were great it had a great atmosphere and the people were incredibly helpful.

We stayed a week at Cologin lodge. Very nicely tucked away in nature. Quite en peacefull. On the same property the Barn Bar. A little restaurant with excellent food for reasonable prices. A great place to start sightseeing. However the place needs some tlc. Both the lodges and the bar itself need some maintanance. Fresh paint en some modern furniture would do the trick. For me personal it would be nice if the staff is more welcoming on your arrival. You go to the bar, get your key and you drive to the lodge. No welcoming word, no questions if there is something you need, no one is checking up on you. I like a bit more hospitality but that's just me. Would I go back? Absolutely!

We had a great time here. We walked from the site into the woods to a loch and in the opposite direction to a ruined chapel. Easy access to Oban and other places around. There is a single track approach but it is quiet and no problem. We enjoyed visits to Seil Island, Arduaine Garden and Dunstaffnage Castle and Chapel. We would stay again.

Had just a few days at Cologin; wish I'd had more.
The chalet was lovely, two well appointed bedrooms; well equipped and clean bathroom, then lounge/kitchen. Good enough kitchen to cook in properly and the couple of little faults we had (microwave not working properly and cooker extractor) were fixed very promptly. The lounge area was comfortable with a variety of seating and there was an outside decking area which we didn't get to use because of the weather (unfortunately).
Staff were friendly and helpful. There is an onsite pub/restaurant "The Barn" which seemed very popular but we didn't eat there so I can't really comment.
The property is rural, away from Oban (about 10 -15 mins by car) so it's easy to get to town but away from it so you can enjoy the peace. The scenery is lovely and there were lots of places to walk if you have time (and slightly better weather!) Phone and internet signal both quite patchy but better at the top of the lane. A real place to get away from it all. Will definitely return.

Our third stay at cologin, loved every minute. Lodge again was great, only thing I'd like is a shaving mirror nearer the sink. Bar/restaurant excellent, great atmosphere, very well looked after by excellent staff, they really do make the stay extra special. Only one criticism, where are the ducks that used to roam around? Meant to ask someone but forgot.

We kayaked most of last week, the weather was perfect for it.
Saw dolphins, seals, loads of deer and of course the midges but it’s a small price to pay for such great memories
Thanks again Jim, Linda and ‘borrow a dog Benjii’
We’ll be back!

A great place to celebrate a quiet birthday, with a unique mix of shared and private areas. Beautiful sheltered set in glorious April weather, chalet 16 at quiet end of the 'row' with morning sun on cherry trees and mossy conifers, filled with bird song, inviting walks to explore in forest and hills,, secluded yet easy access to Oban and all parts of Lorne - magical days on Kerrera, Luing , Lismore and Port Appin highlights.
Comfortable Skandi type chalets with decking for evening 'refreshments'.
Friendly, attentive hosts, easy informal centre for company, food and drink in The Barn.

Good hearty food, excellent range of beers and malts and good reputation for live music.

We loved our stay at Cologin. It was an excellent base to expore Oban and further afield in Argyll. We felt it was very good value for money.
The Barn served good beer and we enjoyed a relaxed family meal with great food. The local loch was stunning with some great glimpses of wildlife.
We really appreciated the location of our lodge after requesting a quieter one due to our son having special needs. The lodge was clean, spacious and homely without being fussy. The outside area attached was a lovely place to sit in the sunshine.
The only improvements I suggest are some additions to the kitchen equipment: some oven gloves as using the oven was a bit risky without; a baking sheet to allow reheating; some small sharp knives.

We stayed at Lodge No. 15 from Friday 22nd until Sunday 24th March. The stay was a gift to our parents who can be nervous about accommodation. It was perfect. The lodges are just outside Oban and enjoy a secluded and peaceful setting. The lodge was cosy, immaculately clean and well equipped and freshly decorated. The on-site pub looked lovely but we chose to prepare our own meals and enjoy some rare family time. The lodges are are perfectly located for travelling further afield but if you’re looking for peace and quiet and a restful break then look no further. My parents were so impressed that they are looking into a longer stay in the summertime with their two dogs. This will not be our last visit to Cologin.

Fab cottages, fab location, fab pub. All fab. Even when we arrived, it was freezing cold, snowing and we walked into the cabin and it was lovely and toasty warm.

my only negative is that we originally planned to come as a group of 4 and then we had to bring 2 kids (6 & 7). The cabins, we asked for sofa beds and no one came back to us, so we ended up paying extra for another lodge only to arrive and the lodge we had was more than enough for 2 kids to sleep on the couches. Didn't spoil our holiday but it was a wee niggle.

Long story short: we'll definitely be back. The location is amazing, we went for a great walk (good boots and fitness needed). The lodge was warm and comfy, we could easily have enjoyed our stay inside if the weather had been worse. Perfect for recharging the batteries.

The lodge was very comfortable, although a bit tired and the hot water in the kitchen was a very slow. The kitchen floor also sloped which caused a few stumbles. The eating area was the breakfast bar which was good, however the stools did not adjust therefore eating was too high and uncomfortable. Would have been good to have a small coffee table in the lodge. The shower was great.
Internet access was very sporadic and limited which does cause issues for younger people these days.
Overall the property was good value for money.

Our stay in chalets 14 & 15 was excellent. Very friendly, accommodating staff especially when we arrived with more dogs than were booked in. Only comment would be that after stripping the bed linen before leaving the duvets and pillows was quite stained and looked dirty. Otherwise the chalets were just what we needed for our 2 night stay. We would certainly book again.

Booked last minute after securing some time off work. Just what was needed. Perfect location away from it all but close enough to Oban for anything we needed. Saying that, we didn’t need much- The Barn Bar was on the doorstep!! (Check winter opening times)

Had a wonderful two night stay over the weekend at Cologin. The cabins are just a short drive from Oban so a great location if you want to Isle hop!
The cabin was fantastic, fully equipped with everything you need. It was so big and roomy, and the heating kept it nice and warm in the snowy weather.
There’s a pub on site which is great for a visit if you fancy a pint and a chat to some of the locals.
Overall a fabulous stay, would highly recommend. We’ll certainly be back!

Fantastic location just 5 mins drive outside Oban centre. We booked via an It Is On offer so was great value for money for the two nights, and the even bigger bonus being pet-friendly as we take our dog up north with us on most trips. Kitchen facilities were great and plenty of space to relax/cook/eat. We visited in January and the cabin was very warm and cosy. Only comfort issue would be firmer pillows (but this may just be personal preference!). Linda and Jim were in contact with us before our stay via email to communicate check-in times etc and tell us about the barn opening hours. Great service and would definitely visit again.

It was great to be back. I think lodge 14 was the best yet great location. We were diving and Jim made us more than welcome with all our gear and boats.
It was great to catch up and put the world to rights with Jim. Can't recommend this highly enough it suits our every need. Bar and food onsite,good facilities in the lodges when we chose to eat in,bed was super comfy clean and tidy. Locals friendly and helpful when needing boat spares.

Great return visit. Definitely be back!

Sleeps 4 adults not 6 as on seats for 4. Tv didn't work properly all weekend. Barn was great for food. Drink was temperamental due to pipes. Would stay here again.

Challets were clean and hot on arrival. Suits 4 people not 6 as only 4 chairs at dining table. Sky tv had intermittent sound all weekend and no place on tv for sub stick. Beds were clean and comfy. Barn was great for food. Some beers were off when we are there. Staff was friendly and welcoming. I would stay here again and would recommend it.

We enjoy staying in the Cologin chalets - they are well equipped and dogs are welcome in the chalets and the pub. They are ideal for our purpose, being 5 minutes drive from the Oban Mart.

Hi, while everything was ok so far, except the provided baby cot. It was full of bird droppings and black mould. Also the replacement cot. They are both ready for the landfill! Very sad! We had to use the another mattress that we put on the floor. Also, just 15 minutes after check out a waitress came to clean up depsite there were lots of empty lodges, so no need for hurry. It was very impersonal in general. Furthermore, we were not provided with a hiking map or routes after asking - in constrast to what is stated on the website text. WIFI was bad as well, almost not present.

I am sorry you did not feel that our staff gave you personal service and I am disappointed to learn that the travel cots have suffered from being stored in our byre. Thank you for letting us know - we have looked at our full inventory of cots and you are quite right some were past their best. We offer cots free of charge but they should always be safe and clean and it is sod's law that you got the only two that were not fit for purpose so our sincere apologies. Regarding check out at 10am - this is the latest check out time so we do not believe it is unreasonable for for our cleaning staff to ask for access at 10.15 (as they have been on duty since 9.30) - this left them just one hour to clean your lodge for the next arrival before setting up the Barn Bar for lunchtime service. If you had requested a late check out we could have adjusted the staff rota accordingly. Late check out is available at a small surcharge as it may require additional staff resource. I am sorry you felt rushed but a check out time is just that. I hope you enjoyed your holiday on the west coast of Scotland and I do hope we will see you again at Cologin.

a clean small and quiet dog friendly cabin in a nice rural spot close to Oban. very friendly staff.

all ready for us on our arrival and we booked in at the on site bar restaurant for what proved a pleasant meal that evening. Walks are good for the dog in the area.
The cabin was quite well equipped, one or two minor irritations which were made good when asked to. A large kitchen good heating the bedrooms (and bed) fine.
A nice area with beautiful scenery all around, plenty of places of interest to visit and we could have spent atwo week holiday in the region find things to do.

This being our 2nd visit we were well happy standards had remained as before..The only 2 comaints we had was that pillows definitely need replacing on beds and small heater in front room was noisy in use.We used this rather than storage heaters as it would have been too hot all over.The grounds and staff are excellent and food in Barn was lovely.We would recommend this site to family and friends and hopefully will be returning again in future.

My and myself regularly holiday here we have had 2 holidays here every year. It is ideal for our needs it gives us the freedom to do as we wish. If my dad wants breakfast at 12 who cares. An afternoon nap whenever he feels like it. In a hotel you have to comply with there timetables. cologin is close enough to oben to allow anyone to enjoy all its benefits. The staff are always eager to help with any issues no matter how trivial. The barn offers excellent hospitality. The food which you can carry out is excellent

The lodge was great, very dog friendly and it was a great base to explore the area. The staff were very friendly but I thought it was a bit strange that the reception seemed to be the pub which was fine when the pub was open but you didn't know where to go to ask a question before midday. A minor gripe and overall it served our purpose very well. Thank you!

A bit of a low point. We arrived at 7pm and did not get our food until 8pm having ordered promptly. We ended up having to buy some crisps as a starter as we were all so hungry. More healthy options would also be good.

mix up with our booking, we had arranged and booked a two double bedroomed lodge, instead got a twin room and double room, pushed the twin beds together so worked out fine in the end. It certainly did not spoil our stay, this is a great place and we have booked for next year.

The Cologin lodges are set in a rural location, approximately 5 minutes drive from Oban & local supermarkets.

The grounds are well maintained and clean, and there is a nice walk from the cabin to a nearby loch through forestry commission grounds - great for walking the dog.

The lodge was spacious, clean and well equipped with bed linen and towels, and the staff including management were very friendly and approachable.

I would recommend to anyone wanting a relaxing holiday, in beautiful surroundings, close to amenities if required and a good location for sightseeing north or south.

A beautiful glen to have a restful holiday. Weather this year fantastic. The Barn restaurant and Bar are very good with a good selection of food.
The chalets are being improved every year and it was great this year having a fridge freezer instead of just a fridge.
Suggested improvements to be made would be better pillows and I find the IKEA armchairs and sofa difficult to get out of as they are very low. Apart from that I'm sure we will be back again to enjoy the beautiful surroundings.

Really enjoyed our stay at Cologin. We were greeted on our arrival by friendly staff and although we were a little early to book in we didn't have to wait long for our chalet to be ready. The chalet itself was lovely and clean and looked out onto the hills surrounding the site and even had the pleasure of 2 resident dear who were in the field behind us.
I wasn't concerned about not having much of a phone signal or wifi, it actually made it more of a relaxing stay but I could see this may be a problem for some.
We went to the Barn restaurant which is onsite, a few times during our stay and found all the staff to be very friendly and helpful. The food was lovely and even had a takeaway option so we could go back to our chalet.
I would recommend the property to others and would definitely return if I was considering going back to Oban for a holiday.

We enjoyed a very quiet stay in a wonderfully positioned chalet, that was up until the Friday when people in a chalet up the road kept us awake until 2am with their singing and loud chatter, luckily we were leaving the next day
Apart from that we had a great time and ate in the barn a few times to find the staff very friendly and helpful

Overall we were very happy with our stay, the location was perfect for what we wanted with easy access to Oban by car and great walks for our dogs. Our lodge was an ideal size and the on site facilities including a pub and restaurant on site that allowed us to bring in our dogs was a welcome treat. The weather obviously helped as we had beautiful weather during our stay.

A few minor comments for improvement.....

A gate on the outside decking area would be both child friendly and dog friendly, our dogs loved the freedom of being able to roam from the lodge to the decking but we ended up moving the table over to the open end to prevent unintended escape.

There were a few light bulbs out, whilst we could have reported this a simple walk through by your staff to check such a basic thing before letting a lodge would pick up this.

Cleanliness let down by a fair number of cobwebs.

We visited the barn on 2 nights of our stay for a meal, on the whole the food is of a good standard with reasonable portions apart from the minuscule pate starter!! There was a good selection as well as blackboard specials. Prices were fair and reasonable. At times the staff seemed a little harassed even although it wasn’t that busy at times.

The location of Cologin Chalets is unbeatable. The owners cannot do enough for you. No 11 has everything you need to have a comfortable and enjoyable stay. The Barn meals are excellent and great value for money whether you eat in the restaurant or have a "take away" to your chalet. We have no hesitation in recommending Cologin Chalets for a wonderful holiday.

We had our dog with us and chalet 12 was great, no one can walk pass our window which made it quite private, great views and very peaceful, inside the chalet was basic but comfortable,

It was a very warm day and lots of people chose to sit outside, we sat inside which was nice, our meal was lovely and the service good

We recently spent a long weekend Friday to Monday in a 2 x bedroom chalet.
We would highly recommend Cologin Chalets and fully intend to return for a break later in the year with family members.
You will find everything you need within the chalets with a bar/restaurant also on sight.
It was so nice to see the sheep & lambs wondering over the top of the hills and to see the ducks strolling passed the chalets.
You do need a car to get around however it was so nice to be traffic free once you are back in the grounds of Cologin.
I would suggest you give it a go as I am so glad that we did.

If during your stay at Cologin you visited the Barn Bar for a meal or a drink please give us your feedback?
The bar is a good place to meet and chat with the locals and other visitors during your stay. The Restuarant offers a good selection of food and has a kids menu also. The Restaurant is busy so that speaks for itself.

The cleanliness was atrocious and the decor of the lodges is very dated and need a refurb. If it weren’t for the company I was with, I would not have stayed at Cologin. I will certainly not be retuning or recommending to to a friend. The lodges are not central located and you require a car/taxi to Oban. Overall, I was very disappointed & I could have stayed in nicer, cleaner accommodation for the money we paid.

I am sorry you were disappointed - what a pity you did not let us know there was an issue with the housekeeping on arrival. You seemed very happy with your lodges on check in. We pride ourselves on keeping our lodges clean so it very worrying to hear that you felt they were not. However, I am afraid it’s hard to comment after the event as you had obviously enjoyed a very lively party in both lodges with your large group. We don’t mind folk moving furniture around within reason, but you caused significant damage by pushing beds against heaters and spilling drinks on carpets.

Good location but basic accommodation

Although the access to the is property is narrow it is acceptable considering its location. The cottage itself is pretty outdated and is in need of some upgrade. The mattresses are lumpy and definitely needs replaced whereas the pillows are flat like a pancake infact it hardly resembled a pillow. The electric shower gave out such a loud droning sound that I was tempted to use my noise cancelling headphones in the shower. The heating was excellent and all kitchen appliances were provided. Lovely bar/ restaurant on location is a excellent facility but reservations are required so your requirement can be catered for which h is a plus I guess. Question is would I go back? Well !! If the mattresses, pillows and sheets were upgraded/ replaced then certainly yes .

Our apologies that you found the mattress lumpy. It was an emergency replacement as the previous customer had clearly had an accident but had not informed us on departure. You will be glad to know that a new one has now been fitted. There are plenty of extra pillows in the cupboards for guest who like more ‘lift’ - we find this a more flexible solution and meets a variety of needs and preferences. If someone wants to sleep with 4 pillows they can do so - our low fill ‘flat’ pillows are deliberate and there are no plans to replace these I am afraid. I am glad you enjoyed your stay and I have passed on your comments regarding the noisy shower to our maintenance team. I hope you do decide to visit us again - return customers benefit from a 10% discount!

Booked up after seeing an Itison offer. We chose Cologin due to it allowing pets as we have 2 dogs.
Check in was an easy process. The chalet itself was well kitted out with a modern kitchen area and comfy seating.
Beds were very nice and comfortable and plenty storage in the room too.
Shower in the bathroom was a bit low on pressure but not a big issue.
Plenty area's to walk around the site.
We have stayed in another cabin near Cologin but here was a lot nicer.
Checking out was a simple process also. Would recommend.

The lodges are lovely, well kept and very clean, a welcome pack would have been very useful though as there's no shop on site and we don't have our own transport and could have saved us on three taxi fares in the first couple of hours, other than needing your own transport I couldn't fault anything about the site, an excellent place to visit I would highly recommend it, we all had a great couple of day's at Cologin

The location is idyllic, and having the bar and food on site was good, although the end we didn't use this facility. The kids loved the park and walks in the surrounding hills. The lodge unfortunately was not cleaned too well, had an ingrained smell of spices in the kitchen living area and there was damp in some of the cupboards. We did request a change of lodge but it was fully booked. Owner came and sprayed some air freshener and the weather was nice so able to keep windows open which helped, but smell was very strong in the evening.

We would return and request a stay in another lodge as the area was lovely and presume this was a one off.

I am sorry about the lingering hint of spice in the kitchen. It was fine when I checked the lodge but that was just after it had been cleaned and obviously smell fresh and clean. It can be a problem when guests are not considerate with their choice of ingredients - kippers are just as bad - but thank goodness you were able to let the freshair in. The guests checking in after you left could not smell anything so thank you for leaving the windows open. I am glad it did not detract from your enjoyment of Cologin and the surrounding area. We look forward to welcoming you back.

These chalets are ideal if you are looking for a base to stay, minutes from Oban and major roads yet in the heart of the country.
They are roomy and clean and well equipped. It was handy to have a Bar/Restaurant on site to spend the last couple of hours of the day having a banter with the friendly locals.
I will definitely be staying there again.

Have spent a lovely few days in chalet outside Oban, ideal location to do a bit of sightseeing and island hopping.
Chalet lies in a valley which is a wee sun trap where you wake up to the sound of birds singing, buzzards flying overhead & deer roaming the hills outside your door. The chalet is well equipped with everything that you need,a real home from home and if you don't want to cook you have the barn bar& restaurant on site.
If your looking for something a bit more lively you can go into Oban where there is something to suit all ages or as I did hop on the ferry to Mull where you can get the bus to Tobermory, the islands capital. The running commentary on bus gives you a great insight into the islands history.
I really enjoyed this experience and will most definitely be going back in the near future.

Just returned from an excellent 3 night stay with our 2 dogs. and we wished was longer.
The cabin was spotless and the heating had been put on for our arrival making it very cosy. Was very spacious and loads storage space. Bedroom also had a TV and the balcony at our cabin A6 was magnificent surrounding most of the cabin and was completely private.
There were ground spot lamps and a night security light at the entrance
The Barn Restaurant food was outstanding and I had to send compliments to the Chef.
The prices were very reasonable considering the location. Other establishments would over charge taking advantage of the rural location. The staff always made you feel very welcome. It is no surprise that locals love this great atmosphere hidden gem and anyone we met was always friendly and helpful. The WiFi was an open network so no password needed. There was also a log fire burning which just added to everything. Our dogs were given a bowl of water and dog treats.
The staff are clearly animal lovers and the location of Cologin Holiday Log Cabins set amongst 17,000 acres beautiful Woodlands couldn't be better. There is a Loch within walking distance with wooden picnic chairs overlooking.
The only negative feedback is that our 3 days seemed to have flown past too fast and we will have no hesitation to return.
The Welcome folder contains all the information you need but if you need extra info on anything there is always someone to ask.
Before we arrived we stopped off at Oban and returned when we left. Most pubs were dog friendly.

A MUST DO is walk down to Kilbride to visit the ruined Church and Grave Yard Or arrange in The Barn to meet Liam Griffin who lives on the site.
We could have listened to him all day ( Very witty)and clearly had extensive knowledge of everything from The Clans to the history dating back to the 5th Century.
He has spent thousands of his own finances and spends the majority of his time trying to preserve the Ruins and is now seeking help from Historic Scotland.
The locals have formed a preservation, Friends of Kilbride and their motto is " A past too rich to have no future".

Cologin Country Chalets & Lodges has a huge future already being a successful family business for 35 years!

My wife, daughter, son in law and 9 month old grandson spent 3 nights here and loved every minute of it, unfortunately the weather wasn't for us but the tranqel and peaceful setting was a welcome break from our normal city life. There were ducks roaming freely which my grandson just loved, we met a very friendly black cat and became pals with lovely big brown Labrador too lol, all in all a great place for the family, lovely and quiet and although we packed a few household items like toilet roll, washing up liquid etc we didn't need to as everything had been thought of for our stay, highly recommended and would return.

Cologin is an amazing place and perfectly placed among the beautiful west coast of Scotland, we had lodge 16 for 2 nights and were happy when arriving and seeing the lodge and it’s location and surroundings. The cleanliness of the lodge could have been considerably better, all the ceilings had multiple cobwebs which were dusty, looking like they had been there some time never been cleaned, the bathroom walls had stains on them and the couch in the living area was broken at the back. The door from the entrance to living area also had a large dent in it exposing fibreboard. For the price I would t say you got your money’s worth especially when the barn bar serves basic food that was a little tasteless and very overpriced. WiFi was sporadic in its working also.

The meal we had the first night at the Barn was absolutely delicious and we would definitely recommend there to everyone. Our stay was very comfy, the lodge was very clean and had everything we needed. I would definitely recommend these lodges to everyone.

We very much enjoyed our 2 day stay at Cologin lodges. We found the No11 lodge to be comfy and warm with good facilities and comfortable beds. The barn was a great place to eat,drink and relax and our wee boy loved the kids play area. We would stay again.

Great food and drink but would have liked a lighter meal option such as a salad

Fantastic couple of nights in Cologin celebrating a friends 30th birthday in a lovely location. Whilst the Lodge was a little tired, it was the perfect chill-out pad for us to get away and enjoy time with friends. Sofabed had not been cleaned underneath - tissues, gloves and a lot of hair. Whilst there was a brush, there was no dustpan which would be a handy addition. Overall, would definitely return, fantastic value for money.

So glad you enjoyed your birthday celebrations. My apologies for not having hoovered beneath the sofa bed - entirely my fault! Let down by a cleaner and struggling with a bad back. No excuse I know and I am glad it did not spoil your stay.

Good communications with the owner. Chalet warm on arrival and reasonably well equipped with some recent upgrading. Situated just south of Oban it was ideal for getting supplies. We enjoyed some good weather and on those days walked some of the coastal paths but on the wet day the chalet was warm and comfortable to catch up with some reading and relaxing.

Super cozy and comfy lodge with lovely decking looking out over countryside, great for checking out the wildlife.
Only a five minute drive into Oban for civilization and great fresh fish from the pier. There is an onsite pub serving food all day with a bit of friendly local banter

I had a short 3 night break at Cologin Lodges during the last week of February with my wife,toddler and our dog. We had a great time in lodge number 13 which was very homely and very well equipped for self catering. I would love to visit in the summer to make more use of the surroundings and also to visit the Barn.

Myself and 2 friends spent 3 nights at Cologin. This was our second visit. The chalet is a real home from home, spotlessly clean and warm. The chalet has everything you need and there is plenty parking. The location is only about 4 miles from Oban and easy to find. There is no wi fi in the chalet which I feel this is now a requirement that said we had a great time

Unfortunately the barn was closed as we were too early in the season however I have eaten there before and it is very good

We had a great stay in a cosy and comfortable chalet. We had everything we needed to enjoy a rural family break away from all the hustle & bustle.

The chalet was very clean and cosy. Some of the furniture is well worn but that added to the character and comfort.

We didn't eat at the barn or interact with staff much as we were only there for a weekend but we will definitely go back and hope to try the food.

Our boys aged 2 and 7 loved the surroundings and the chalet. My 7 yo wasn't happy about the slow wi fi but we found plenty to do to keep him entertained.

Again, we had a great time at the Lodges at Cologin. Total peace and quiet and a great place for the dogs. The lodges were very clean and comfortable. Would prefer the layout to be the other way round within the living/eating area. Will be back next year.

Yes, we had the dinner at the Barn on Hogmanay. The staff did a great job getting the food out, was still hot and very tasty. May be another member of staff on duty to deal with meet and greet customers, get drink orders during the meal. The sticky toffee pudding was a bit dry. The music was good, but no real interaction with customers to get the place going? Good buffet. Were not told the Barn would be closed on 2 January?

Lovely lodge, with everything you need provided. Lovely site. Dogs really are welcome! The Barn pub does great food and has very friendly locals. Also do takeaway meals if you want to eat in the lodge. Only downside to lodge is that the bathroom doesn't have a separate shower just a shower over bath which could be problematic for some wheelchair users or those with restricted mobilty. Despite the snow and ice we were very cosy and comfortable in the lodge.

We visited Cologin Lodges using an ITISON deal, £99 for 2 nights stay. We took our dog Willow which cost a bit more but worth it. I've no doubt we weren't in one of the better lodges, but it was very adequate and the location was fantastic. We will definitely return next year :)

The Barn was excellent with great food and they are also dog friendly, the only criticism would be that it was too hot, we had a table directly in front of the wood-burner, but apart from that it was great.

My partner and two young children stayed at the lodges. We enjoyed our stay.
The location is great if you are looking to get away from it all. The kids loved splashing in the muddy puddles and looking at the ducks. The play area was more suited to older children but they had a little play in it. We looked at the stars on a clear night as there is no light pollution and slept soundly as it was dark and quiet.
The lodge was basic but cozy with the heating on. The cot and high chair we asked for when booking were not in the lodge when we arrived but Jim delivered them as soon as we made him aware. A few things could have done with being replaced as they were getting a bit rickety but the important things worked cooker, shower etc. The laundry room on site came in handy.
Unfortunately we didn't manage to go to the restaurant as we had been looking forward to it.
We loved the friendly, laid back atmosphere and would recommend staying here for people who are not looking for a "luxury" holiday but a peaceful, get away from it all break.

We found the lodge to be well maintained and comfortable. There was plenty of space for the 3 of us and dog. Location of the lodge on the site is fantastic with open views to the front. We were lucky enough to see deer very close to the lodge on both days.
The kitchen is well equipped although we didn't make much use of it! Good dog walking from the front door. TV package basic and wifi very slow; both things did not upset us at all.

We stayed for 2 nights on a short break with 2 dogs. Location is great just outside of Oban and on site restaurant was convienient. Staff extremley friendly right from arrival. We had a meal in the Barn on the first night wich was reasonbaly priced and very nice. The cook came out to speak to us she was lovely and a nice touch. The chalet looks tired inside old furniture, carpets etc however bedding and towels all fresh and clean, We used the sofa bed which had lots of crumbs on it before it was pulled out and not the cleanest. However on the whole ideal place to stay.

We arrived Sunday evening to the lodge. The key was in the front door and the heating was on which was above welcome as it was a cold day. The lodge was very clean, beds were made and towels for everyone. The hot water heater was also on which was good too. We brought some of our own cookwear, however it was not needed as there was ample of everything.

The second evening my son was sick in the bed during the night. The next morning I let the staff know and when we're returned their was fresh bed linen on his bed which was excellent.

All the staff and locals we spoke to were very nice and helpful, and the location is excellent.

We enjoyed it here, nice and clean, easy to heat, the beds are comfortable, plenty storage space, location is great and easy to get to the town.
Wi-Fi was bad.
No mobile phone signal.(nobody's fault)
Mice droppings around microwave area which sent my partner into overdrive could have been cleaned before we entered,
hole at back of microwave is letting the mice in!
I would use the chalets again.

We stayed in 2 bedroom lodge with our 2 dogs. So cosy and comfortable with everything you would need. Dinner at the barn bar was amazing. Staff are lovely and friendly. Only disappointment was not being able to dine on Sunday as meals stopped at 6 and we had been out all day. Overall highly recommended and we would definitely return

We had a lovely long weekend at cologin, beautiful scenary and setting for the lodges. My only suggestion would be that there wasn't enough cutlery provided for the number of people the lodge was able to accommodate. Not an issue for us with small children but just for future guests. Will definitely be back.

There was no surprises, Lodge 15, and Cologin in general were just what we expected, clean, quiet, and peaceful. The food in the Barn was good, as was the beer, and the staff were all very friendly, and helpful... Well kept grounds, and play area, allowed our young grandson (2 ½) years old to enjoy his time there. A visit to see the ducks was a must before his bedtime...

This was our third stay at Cologin in a different lodge each time and each stay has been enjoyable. All are reasonably spacious and comfortable. One minor niggle was that nearly all the door handles squeaked on opening and one was difficult to open but a bit of lubrication would likely solve the problems. Although the site is only three miles out of Oban there is no public transport other than taxi so a car is essential to get into the town and to visit the area in general. The scenery everywhere is stunning with all of the nearby islands having their own points of interest but to see all of Mull will take a minimum of two days especially if you visit Iona and Staffa. Be prepared for wet weather but don't let it deter you as the sun often soon comes out as the climate is very localised.

Good quality food with plenty of choices which should suit all diets and at sensibe prices and a choice of real ales if that takes your fancy.

Pros: Roomy cabin, nice kitchen, great location, playground for kids, bar on site, hosts were very nice and friendly...

Cons: very slow wi-fi. I had trouble conducting business because of it. Cabins have some wear and tear but mostly okay. We asked for an extra towel for the baby and never got one, and had to pay for the washing machine and dryer.

The cabin had all basics for self catering – oh except it seems we were supposed to provide our own toilet paper, which is not something I’ve ever needed in any of the many other self catering accommodations we’ve booked. The other unusual thing was they’d left a note saying we were supposed to pay for the electricity we used upon checking out. I’ve never heard of such a thing, and didn’t pay. Apart from that, we thought it was pretty clean and comfortable, and a nice place to stay for a few days, if you want to do self catering and be a little closer to nature than being in town. The surroundings are very quiet and pleasant area. Good food/atmosphere at tavern.

I am glad you enjoyed your visit to the west coast. Our website clearly states that our lodges are provided with a starter pack of loo paper (1 roll plus spare) and I am sorry you were not aware of this. Even if you book through a third party agency you should be aware of our own booking terms and conditions as we don't want disappointed customers, there are emergency rolls freely available in the laundry as per our welcome booklet and lodge information as we don't want any guest to be caught short! Likewise, our terms regarding electricity usage is clearly explained in our website. However, we value customer feedback and I am pleased to report that next year we are incorporating a fuel supplement into the general rental fee so there will no extras due on departure.

We were a group of 11people and hired two cottages. The chalets were beautiful and located in a serene area 2.5miles away from Oban town centre. The place was clean and tidy and it felt as if we were disconnected from the rest of the world whilst enjoying all the comforts in the chalets. We only stumbled on this property by chance but what a great time we had. The kids had so much fun playing in the open area. There is also a barn bar which serves good beers and great food. Highly recommend staying here, value for money. The only negative point if I had to say is that the WiFi connection is not too fast although it was ok for a quick access.

We like chalet 9 and we enjoy The Barn food, people and cask ale. The weather , beyond your control, disappointed this year but would not deter us from returning. We left early due to the weather on the Thursday and should have mentioned some minor
maintainence that is required.
1. Table lamp bulb in kitchen,.
2. bulb over the bath.
3. Toilet seat has come loose and needs tightened.

Hope to see you next summer.

Despite mixed weather, we really enjoyed our stay at Cologin. Although the WiFi connection wasn't always strong, the chalet was everything that we'd expected, and the site was in a beautiful location just south of Oban. The on-site bar and restaurant "The Barn" had a very good menu and a great atmosphere.

Thought it was quite pricey for what you got (nearly £500 for 4 nights). Had some kitchen utelsiles missing like fish slice, oven gloves and oven tray. On cooker all dial intructions had rubbed off so you didn't know what setting/heating to put it on at! Path at front badly maintained with muddy puddle on one side and slabs loose. Overall quite clean although mould in a couple of cupboards. Location was Ok, but felt you could have been anywhere! Wifi in lodge very poor although to be fair they did advertise it as not very good, although I found the property in google by searching for "self catering with wifi in Oban"!

Hi - at £470 for 4 nights you paid less than £30 per person per night which we think offers excellent value for money in Oban in the school holidays. Our poor wi-fi is extremely frustrating (try living with it 24/7) but unfortunately it is out of our hands as our data and bandwidth requirements would require a satellite rental at nearly £5k a year and we have already spent £3k sharing our meagre wi-fi around the full site so apologies for the speed but it is what it is. Thanks for the feedback regarding a fish slice - we don't provide those I'm afraid. The kitchen is equipped with enough basic utensils to prepare a modest meal - what some customers consider as basic another might consider a luxury so we do our best to make sure we have the bare essentials. We live on site and are always happy to loan out a kitchen gadget - I appreciate you probably don't know its not provided until you are looking for it! I am glad you enjoyed your stay despite the minor kitchen hiccups and your children's unintended digital detox.

Lovely Location with beautiful views.
But restricted as to where to walk your dog if the weather is bad as the walk through the kissing gates was like a mud bath at the top.
Also there is no where to leave the dog off loose to have a run on site.
I Would recommend here if you want tranquility and a lovely relaxing holiday.

As always my daughter, dog and myself had a great time. Only one downside was the rain, but not a lot you can do and it certainly didn't keep us in. Plenty to see and do in and around Oban. Mollie our dog had a great time on the Gavana Beach,lots of walks,places and things to do.

We enjoyed our stay at Cologin, a clean and tidy lodge in peaceful scenic area. The only blot on the landscape was the weather, we had a heavy band of rain every day except the Wednesday - Food & service at The Barn was very good, I think because of that, and the dramatic scenery, it's the reason our holiday lasted as long as it did.

Sadly the lodge/chalet was dirty.Chairs "sticky" n had glitter all over, like body glitter!!
We asked for a mop & bucket as we had dogs with us and wanted to clean the floor from previous customers as well as us, but was told don't worry about it!! The cleaning equipment apart from vacuum cleaner; was non existent.
There was hardly any utensils for cooking in this self catering accommodation and had to go and ask for some from the barn! Damage to various bits of furniture by dogs, which we felt compelled to take pics of as we didn't want our dogs accused of causing damage!(our dogs were in their own cages) We didnt agree with owners dogs roaming all over the holiday park unattended either..theres lots of young children playing..plus their own dogs came and went to toilet outside our lodge and no one picked it up..there was a poop bin right next to the lodge and we filled it with cleaning up after our own dog's..it makes us look bad as well as not good for the children playing.
Lots of things i could add but, i just hope other lodges were better..they seemed to be better the nearer the barn they were.We accessed wifi a couple of times but we were made aware of the fare usage policy and practice and respect that. I appreciate that we had booked just shy of a week prior to our stay however this is ample time to clean etc. Sorry

I am sorry you found that your lodge had not been properly cleaned - you did not mention that you had any concerns when I spoke to you and I will speak to our housekeeper regarding body glitter (?) on the chairs. Our pet friendly lodges do take a lot of wear and tear as we accept 2 pets per lodge and occasionally there is damage - not all owners keep their dogs caged when they are on holiday and we don't require them to. Alfie and Benjie are very much part of Cologin and you are staying in their 'garden'. I am afraid I don't accept your claim that dog dirt was not removed - I inspect the site every day and take our own responsibilities as pet owners seriously. I am sorry you did not enjoy your last minute break. We gave you number 11 so your pets were less likely to be disturbed as the decking provides a very private suntrap with lovely country views. It does seem to be one of our 'Marmite' lodges as many of our return customers specifically request it because of its views and position away from the site entrance. Thank you for your feedback on missing utensils - we carry plenty of spares and I will make sure that the lodge inventory is as it should be. We welcome suggestions for items that would help you enjoy your self-catering experience more - but some customers rarely use the kitchens and prefer to eat onsite at our pub so we only aim to provide basic kitchen equipment.

Hidden away only 10 minutes from Oban these cosey chalets tick all the boxes you could possibly want or need from accommodation to allow you to explore the West cost. The Barn restaurant & bar located on site offered excellent food with warm welcome from staff...sticky toffee pudding is a must.
Looking forward to our next visit.
Thank you all!

The location is idyllic and the Barn Staff and Kitchen were excellent just needs a little TLC in public areas. Also having to pay extra for electricity having already paid for accommodation is not acceptable. And information needs updating and mentioning about Sky Cards

First time staying here and will certainly be back. The chalets have everything you need and are spotlessly clean. Decking outside the chalets is really nice and well lit. The staff on site and in the Barn / bar / restaurant are really welcoming, helpful and friendly. Nothing was an issue for them. Restaurant / bar relaxing atmosphere and well priced meals and drinks. My only small disappointment was paying extra for electricity however it was only 10p per unit. Think it would be just as easy / acceptable to add an extra couple of pounds to the chalet price. Again will definitely be back for another visit.
A very relaxing stay

Had a great time at cologin with my partner & 2 dogs. Location, staff & service excellent. A great base to see the sights of Oban. Dogs & humans had a great time exploring. Enjoyed our wee visits from the wandering ducks & benji & Alfie the resident hounds. Cabin was what you would expect really but lots of space & the staff at the barn were lovely, friendly & very helpful.

We will be back!

Very basic accommodation which is rather "tired", however our booking included heating which was welcome as the weather was rather unkind on several days and there was copious amounts of hot water although very very poor water pressure which I guess in this type of location is hardly surprising and has perhaps to be expected. Very comfortable and clean bed. The kitchen equipment really needs upgrading, a lot of odd plates, glasses and poor cutlery. A potato peeler and grater would be a welcome addition to the cupboard. The place sadly lacked any real character which is a real shame as the setting of the chalets is quite idyllic. Overall we had a good relaxing week but Cologin would really benefit from some upgrading. One big plus was that internet connections were excellent!

My friends, Maureen and Jane, and my dog, Carragh and I spent a wonderful few days at Cologin again this year in May.
The lodges are just as comfortable and well equipped as ever and have had a make-over on the outside with fabulous decked areas for each lodge.
Into the bargain, the staff are very friendly and you feel as if you are in a home from home.
The sun shone brightly the whole time and we all would love to return to Cologin again.
Thanks for a lovely stay.

We arrived on a Friday afternoon in glorious sunshine and were absolutely thrilled at our beautiful lodge. Fully equipped and spotlessly clean. We made a bee line for The Barn for a few drinks, but no matter how hard we tried, we could not get the door to lock. We reported this at The Barn and were rather surprised when we were told to go back and try jiggling the key in the lock. Surprised in that they didn't offer to go check the lock for us. After some jiggling, still no lock, so back to The Barn, to then be provided with their copy key, and yet again told to go jiggle that one in the lock, which finally did the trick. Not good customer service there to be honest. That was our one and only complaint. The site was in a perfect location to get into Oban for the day and even further afield. Would definitely return in the future.

We chose Cologin as a base for 3 of us for the week of my brother's wedding in Oban. The location a few miles outside Oban is idyllic. The lodge was very clean, comfortable and warm. It was well equipped with everything we needed for a week's self-catering stay. We used the lodge for breakfast every day, lunch on one occasion and evening meal twice. Over zealous cleaning had left our cooker with no markings around the knobs, so that the first time we tried to use the oven we had to call for help. The resident owner attended and sorted us out.

The Barn Bar was our eating place of choice for lunch on one day and for the larger family group on two evenings. We found the menu to be broad with very interesting specials so that everyone found something not just to their liking but something that really impressed. The bar and waiting staff were friendly and efficient.

The wi-fi worked well but there was (not surprisingly given the location) no mobile phone signal on our networks.

The site was not particularly busy when we were there and it was quiet overnight with the only early morning noises being birdsong.

In summary, we were very impressed.

If during your stay at Cologin you visited the Barn Bar for a meal or a drink please give us your feedback?
Very impressed with the menu choice and with the quality of the food. The real ales were not always in perfect condition, due probably to the low sales volumes outside of the main season.

Location was lovely, right between the hills & we saw sheep & deer in the mornings which my two little ones loved.

Unfortunately the lodge we had needed some tlc. The sofa in the living room was incredibly uncomfortable & needed replacing, the oven was missing some of the pictures on the dials which made it almost impossible to use & there was no manual to refer to but the thing that let it down the most was the mould in the corner of almost every window & ingrained in some of the wood. This just made us feel like the lodge wasn't clean enough for us having a young family.

I booked these lodges for myself and partner along with my elderly dad and aunt, and I could not have expected anymore from them. They were comfortable and modern and very clean. For the time of year (Feb) they were warm, you pay for the electricity you use at the end of the stay, and given the age of the dad and aunt they never complained about anything!!! I would like to go back again in the summer to get a chance to sit outside and use the balcony area especially to watch the deer roam past your window in the morning, certainly would not get that in Edinburgh!!!!

Only 5 minutes drive into Oban, we took the ferry to Mull for the day which I would recommend

Thanks for the enjoyable weekend.

We have stayed at cologin before hence the return visit. Mainly for the beautiful scenery and being dog and child friendly. We had minor issues with lack of bedding which was sorted out with no problems. The oven wouldn't work even with advice from owners. This wasn't an issue as because if power cuts were unable to use it much anyway.
Power was off on 21st for three hours luckily we had brought torches. Then again on 23rd power was off all morning so had to go into Oban to eat and and keep warm as there had been significant snow fall. Due to the remoteness of cologin these things happen. However because we have two small children it would have been nice to have a courtesy call to see if we were ok. Putting all that aside We will definatley stay at cologin again when visiting our relatives in near Future.

The lodges are cold in winter but soon heat up with the electric heaters. The rooms are spacious and kitchen is well equipped.

My husband and I stayed with friends for a short break in one of the two bedroom lodges. We had a great time. The lodge was spotlessly clean and was equipped with everything we needed. The modern kitchen and open spaced lounge was ideal and very comfortable. The owners (Jim and Linda) made us feel very welcome and were so helpful.

We had no idea what to expect and arrived in the dark after several miles of single track roads. We went into The Barn and checked in at the bar. We were shown a map of the site and told we had chalet number 13 and that the key would be in the door..... well, it would have helped if a) we had a torch and b) the chalets had numbers on them!! We spent 20 minutes trying to find our chalet! When we finally worked it out, there was no key in the door so we had to go back to the bar. Thankfully, once we got into the chalet and got the heating on and lights, we were pleasantly surprised. The chalet was well kitted out and clean and comfortable. We decided to eat in The Barn and were very glad we did. The food is excellent, as is the service. Reasonably priced too. In the morning, when it was light, we could then really appreciate the beauty of the scenery around us. It is stunning. Mountains, rivers, deer and birds of prey. Absolutely stunning. You are only 20 minutes from Oban and under 2 hours to Fort William. I will definitely return here. I highly recommend it. The Barn is open to non-residents too.

We recently booked a weekend away with cologin country chalets. There was seven adults and two children in our party along with four dogs. We had two chalets booked, both had the lights and heating on for our arrival. The accommodation was spacious, warm and comfortable, with everything provided for a perfect family weekend.

Unfortunately, my Mother in Law passed away suddenly on the day we were due to arrive at Cologin so we were unable to go. We did phone to say we would not be arriving as I'm sure you can appreciate, we had other things on our minds.

We would not hesitate in booking the same offer again in the future as it was something we were really looking forward and it looks like a fantastic place to get away.

A lovely stay in one of the lodges at Cologin. The location was ideal just a few minutes drive out of Oban and the scenery around the lodges is stunning. Well equipped and nicely decorated, the lodge is ideal for small families and is very comfortable and cosy. Cleanliness was of a good standard as was the service we received and the facilities available. Overall very good and would definitely return.

Four of us stayed in a 2 bed lodge and this was purchased through an Itison voucher. To be honest, we weren't expecting the lodge to be that good, however, when we arrived I was pleasantly surprised. I would definitely recommend a stay here. The lodge was spotless, and there was even Tea, coffee, sugar, condiments etc in the cupboard! It is in the ideal location for discovering a beautiful part of Scotland, we will be back!

Very good site set in an idyllic location for exploring the surrounding countryside including a short drive to reach Oban the gateway to some of Scotland's most beautiful islands. Accommodation would suit both families and couples and is comfortable providing a relaxing atmosphere after a day out touring the beautiful scenery around that part of Scotland. Barn Bar serves good food and drink accompanied by friendly service. Overall no complaints on any front and would perhaps return at some future date.

We stayed at Cologin first week in October at number eleven. The location is perfect and in the morning when we opened the patio doors we saw deer in the field next to the chalet. The chalet was very clean and was equipped with everything necessary. The food at The Barn is exceptional and very reasonably priced. Hospitality is second to none. The weather was amazing and the sunrises were spectacular and in the evening the starry skies were beautiful. Cologin is a truly magical place for a holiday.

a couple of small things require some attention. we like to cook and did not find the cooking equipment and crockery entirely satisfactory, eg a non stick frying pan and sharp knives would be much appreciated. Also we did not have any 2 matching plates or wine glasses which we would have expected. small things but the attention to detail makes a difference.

We loved the decking area.

Very comfortable accommodation, with excellent customer services. Hoped to use it as a base to do some island hopping and for that the location was excellent although the weather let us down a bit there but it is in Scotland. Had the misfortune of my car breaking down on me while I was there but the site proprietors could not have been more helpful to see ma safely on my way again. Will definitely go again but hoping for more luck with the weather and my car next time

After being very poorly and in hospital for almost 5 weeks I felt I really needed to get away to relax and recuperate for a couple of days. My husband and I (we are both in our 40s) would normally travel to cities in the UK for the hustle and bustle. He stumbled across Cologin chalets. It would be a new experience for us. OH MY WORD! I cannot praise them highly enough. They provide everything you could possibly need from washing up liquid, iron to stunning views and beautiful bird songs. The Barn bar and eatery are on site and great value for money. I needed the world to stop and let me off for a while and this is what Cologin and staff provided. I only wish we could have stayed longer.

We enjoyed our stay. The location is excellent, "off the beaten track" yet only 3 miles from Oban and very handy for shops such as Tesco, Lidl and Aldi. It is in a sheltered hollow and you definitely get dark skies at night. Unfrotunately didn't see the stars.
Would return for a similar break. Plenty to see and do around the area. We just like going to the many secluded beaches and gazing across to the many islands. Excellent seafood in the restaurants.

We left a short list of a few minor things that needed attention. Site is quiet and tidy. Receptionist was on a long phone call when we arrived and kept us waiting. Internet connection was good, which was very useful as no phone signal, so could keep in touch with my aged dad.

We visit family in Oban 2-3 times a year and always stay at cologin lodges. The location is excellent and the owners and staff are always friendly and helpful. The lodges are a good size and comfortable the new decking area and outdoor lighting make them even more welcoming and are great for sitting out of an evening. We would not consider staying anywhere else

Firstly, I would like to thank the staff for the ease of booking and friendly service at Cologin. The welcome pack upon arrival was comprehensive and provided all the information we needed to enjoy our stay; including 'Things-to-do' in and around Argyll and Bute as well as a menu of local food available at the Barn Bar. Chalet 11 was much larger than what we expected, with comfortable furniture and beds, full kitchen amenities and plenty of space in an adjoining living area. Being so close to Oban (15 minute drive away) but nestled in among a valley really feels like you have the best of both worlds with some solitude but the convenience of having a well connected and historic town nearby. This was my second visit and it surpassed my first impressions (which were already impressed!), and I can truthfully say Cologin is my favourite choice for a getaway on the west coast of Scotland.
I only have one little nag and it was having our designated parking taken by non-residents on the Friday of our stay. Not that much of a problem but I had no choice but to park upon the grass verge to prevent obstructing the access road. Perhaps if there was some kind of signage it might be prevented in the future?

Many thanks for everything and I look forward to visiting again! 10/10!

To look out at the views is stunning and if you want to relax in peace and quiet look no further. The Barn bar on site is a warm and welcoming place with great food. Oban is only a few miles away with a mix of attractions for young and older. Cant wait to return to Cologin.

Paddock Lodge as a whole is a good size with 2 bedrooms and overall I would recommend as it offered good size value for money.
Owners were welcoming and the overall site with the location of the excellent Barn Bar on site made this an excellent option for families, and we enjoyed

However the overall accommodation felt it could have done with a refresh - the oven was missing some of the buttons to operate, the living room had mismatching sofas and one of the wardrobes in the master bedroom felt unusable due to an unusual smell. Some of the other accommodation on site had new double glazing so it may well be that the owners will update soon.

Unfortunately due to illness, my wife and I didn't make it to Cologin, we had been there twenty odd years ago, and had very fond memories of our short visit, so we had no issue in recommending to my son and daughter in law, as somewhere we could have a weeks holiday, and enjoy our almost 2yr old grandson Lewis. As stated my wife and I didn't make the holiday, so it was with intrepidation that I awaited what my son and daughter in law had to say. I was delighted that they had the greatest of time, despite the weather, and the wee one enjoyed himself, the review statements are theirs, and are fully endorsed by my wife and myself... Thank you Cologin... We intend having that week we missed next year.

We were not impressed by the Cologin chalets. We had to clean dishes, bathroom and kitchen on arrival. The laundry room was not clean at all either. The maintenance of the chalet is very poor : doors were not closing properly, poor insulation of the chalet, the kitchen hood was not working, we noticed at 10 pm at night that the batteries of the torch provided in the chalet were flat. It was too late to go to the Barn to get new ones, in the dark, as specified in the book left by the owners in the chalet. Very little equipment in the kitchen (e.g. only on small frying old pan for 5). We never saw the owners, just to hand the keys over on the day of our departure.

Good pub. We only had drinks.

I am disappointed you did not find your lodge to your liking - what a shame you did not let us know this during your stay as we live at Cologin and we did infact see you several times whilst you were with us. If we are not aware of a problem until after you leave it is difficult to put it right. I have spoken to our cleaning team regarding your comments as they are normally very reliable. I have also replaced the frying pan - we have plenty of spares in stock. Without knowing which pieces of kitchen equipment you felt were missing I am unable to comment. We can usually provide most things although as a 3 star lodge I am sure you would not be expecting coffee grinders, blenders or a full range of kitchen gadgets. I am glad you enjoyed drinks at the Barn Bar and I am sorry you had such terrible weather. Five in a two bedroom lodge is a squeeze - and it is not easy when it is raining.

Lovely location

As it says a bit rustic though we didn't mind ! Cleanliness needs to be improved as the cupboards were not so clean as brush , shovel were dirty and just thrown in and a mouse repellent lying about . Cupboards were musky and we couldn't put our clothes in . I could go on ! The owners are doing their best and the chalets have recently been recladded and new decking outside which looks really nice . All in all a nice place and the Barn really makes it for the lovely meals and atmosphere .

Lovely meals and atmosphere my only criticism was they had no brandy in the bar from Sunday to Saturday .

this is our 2nd stay here at the Chalets. if you want peace and quiet and get away from it all this is the place. The Barn offer excellent meals and you can also take away to your chalet if you would prefer that option. we stayed here for two weeks and the whole experience was great, you can even sit and watch the wildlife at your door, the deers were lovely.

Our children enjoyed playing near the burn and exploring the grounds outside our chalet but I don't think I would stay here again as chalets quite close together and comfort and cleanliness could have been better, bathroom very dated with rotten wooden toilet seat and rusty towel rail. Chairs in living area very saggy and a damp smell in most of the rooms. Outside decking area lovely feature but needs a gate for small children and pets to stay safe.

We had a lovely meal in the Barn Bar, staff were very busy so did have a bit of a wait for food but we were aware of this when we ordered so wasn't a problem. Very nice staff and tasty food.

A great location near Oban and a lovely area to explore. The cabins were comfortable and the rooms good sizes. The kitchen needed a few extra pieces of equipment such as sharp knives, peelers and some large pots to help feed a family but were otherwise well equipped. Laundry facilities need a bit of a tidy up.

My dad and myself both felt that everything that we required for an excellent holiday was on site and we were encouraged to make our selfs at home. The chalet has been disabled adapted which allowed us the freedom to do what we wanted rather than being bound by a hotel timetable. There was excellent food on site. With Oban 10 min drive away but having the solitude of the country.

Got a deal through itison been last year and really enjoyed it so decided to go back with my mum and baby in July. The lodges appear to have been done up a bit new decking area and new kitchen. Unfortunately the weather was rubbish and it was quite cold but the wee fire in the living room heated up the place. Needed it as the lodges were quite cold. It's 5 mins drive into oban. The barn does lovely food

We found this "hidden gem" in the internet. The instructions how to find the place were good. We were delighted that our dog was welcome too.
At arrival we felt very welcome and were taken to our chalet. The chalet was adequate for our needs and we had comfortable stay. The kitchen had everything needed for basic cooking. A cafetiere for making coffee would have been nice to have.
There are lovely walks just from the site.
The forest above the site is great for walking your dog.
Our springer spaniel run away in the forest and was missing nearly 30 hours.
The proprietors and their staff of the Cologin Chalets were extremely helpful, they could not have done anything more. We are very greatful for their help.
The Barn Restaurant had lovely atmosphere and excellent meals.
We hope to be back again.

We stayed at cologin lodges for the weekend and were very impressed. The lodge was clean, spacious and very comfortable. We had decking which overlooked the hills and when you sat outside there was total silence! It was so peaceful. We saw a young deer close to our decking. We would definitely return and recommend it highly for a relaxing break.

I am sorry the bar staff failed to pass on your message re hot water. The switch is in the kitchen and it is marked but as the shower is electric many guests don't bother with it especially if they are eating in the Barn Bar and don't have washing up to do. Glad to see you enjoyed the Barn's food and atmosphere and that you enjoyed your break at Cologin.

Myself and the kids loved it.

Our accommodation was perfect for our stay, unfortunately the only downside was our meal at the Barn. I am aware that we arrived at 7.30pm and went up to the Barn to order an evening meal. Our meals were poor to say the least. We were told that the kitchen closed at 9.00pm and that because we ordered at 8.30pm we were told thar we could only order mains, this was fine & we didn't have a problem with this, but when our food came the order was wrong and very overpriced for what it was. It wasn't possible to speak to anyone about this, as the waitresses went home directly after serving us. This was a shame as we didn't go back again for the remainder of our stay. Apart from that, we had a great stay.

I had booked this Chalet at last minute as as we had not decided if were going on holiday. When I saw the pictures on the web, I wasn't very keen about the location and Chalet, however, when we reached and entered the Chalet it was brilliant. Such a lovely atmosphere and the owners were Brilliant. The venue is so beautiful and tranquil. We wanted to stay longer but it had got booked very soon. Please don't be put off by the pictures on the web as it is way too good to be ignored.The only drawback is that we couldn't make calls from the site- no network!

The two main issues we had were that the kitchen was really poorly stocked and what there was didn't feel clean. Too many basics were missing even for a weekend stay, let alone longer. We also washed everything before using it and the kitchen as a whole could have done with a scrub.

If those points could be fixed - and that should be easy - then otherwise there's lots going for this place. Quiet, good climbing frame for kids, nice pub (which we unfortunately didn't get to spend much time in), lots to do and visit nearby etc.

The decor, bedding etc is quirky and old-fashioned but I quite liked that.

The lodge was very nice but there were a few niggles - the heater in the shower didn't work (or maybe I didn't pull hard enough on the cord, but I was afraid to break it), neither did the vent, the tap in the kitchen leaked when you turned on the cold water, and the door to the hallway wouldn't close. This last wasn't really a problem as closing all the other doors off the hallway kept the dog out. It looked like somebody had been hanging off the door as the top hinge was bent! Maybe the tree as around the lodge could do with a trim too as it felt a bit closed in and no view of the lovely area around us.
Other than that (and I assure you these above are only niggles) we enjoyed our stay. The staff and bar area are lovely, all the cabins look very smart with their bright new cladding (I hope you are leaving them like that, the colour should weather down beautifully), and the whole area has a calming feel too it. Would recommend it to anyone.

The food was very good, if a bit more than I could manage, but the dog benefitted from that. I love the atmosphere and the very friendly staff.

Stayed in this lodge last year and felt it was ready for an upgrade - wow what a difference! The layout has been completely changed and the kitchen area is now at the front of the lodge with the lounge area at the back with patio doors leading to a completely private decked area. The exterior has also been reclad (there appear so on be just two,lodges left that have not yet been refurbished) and the site is looking great. I would love to see a wild flower meadow and perhaps some improvements now to the verges which I accept have been damaged by people driving over them, but the turn into the lodge parking spaces (at som in long No8) is quite tight and it would be wise to extend the space if it's possible. Otherwise don't change a thing - we love Cologin and we think No 8 is fab!

Thanks for your suggestion to widen the parking area next to the lodge - the site was built a few decades ago when cars were smaller! We are looking at improving the verges and trying to find a way to stop cars driving over the grass too.

The chalet was very warm and comfortable and had everything we needed. The location is great and very child friendly. We were lucky with the weather but the chalet was comfortable enough even had it been poor. The staff could not have been better and were very helpful when we needed things for the baby.

Booked a week at Cologin based on their website. References to quiet location, no light pollution, carefully controlled groups all sounded good to me. Just wanted a quiet week away walking in the hills.
The chalet was a bit disappointing.. some worrying wiring, broken furniture, extractor fan not working and shower sounding like a steam train.. but can put up with that. Fridge not working was a more serious problem.. especially when I chased why it hadn't been fixed after a few days, only to be told there wasn't a problem with it. Most fridges don't run at 16C.. smartphones are clever these days. In fairness they replaced it the same day after I told them it still wasn't working... just annoying to go half the holiday without a fridge...
All this I could put up with.. but the real problem was much worse. Despite what's written on their website, they do take groups. Unfortunately a short distance away was a chalet occupied by six workmen who were obviously using it as temporary accommodation. This meant drinking, singing, BBQs outside until late and then up at seven the follow day, with shouting and music, until they finally roared off to work. Not good for the neighbours. I don't blame the workmen... they were away on job and having a good time. I do blame Cologin for misrepresentjng their accommodation.
We left a day early.. had enough and couldn't face another night bejng kept awake. When I complained to Cologin they said they would comain to the company who booked the workmen.. I told them them they were missing the point.
So we won't be back. It was far from the relaxing week I was hoping for.. My experience of Cologin was nothing like that described on their website.

Food was okay. Ventilation needs significant improvement.

I am sorry your stay was disturbed by your neighbours - I am not sure why you did not mention this until your departure as we would have been able to take some action as noise after 10pm is certainly not tolerated and I am baffled as to why you did not let us know until it was too late. I apologise for the problems with your fridge. As you know, you reported this quickly and mentioned that you believed the door was not closing properly - which we immediately fixed. As it transpired this was not the cause of the problem and the following day we then changed the fridge - as it is an integrated unit this is not a small job and I hope it was appreciated. Things do break and go wrong and all we can do is mend and replace as required - we left you a bottle of wine by way of apology and again we can only apologise for the problems you had. I am sorry you did not find your lodge suited your needs. I am afraid I must correct your misunderstanding that our website does not promote group accommodation. http://www.cologin.co.uk/accommodation/group-accommodation/ We actively encourage groups of all sizes but they are still required to stick to the rules and noisy neighbours are not tolerated.

A really lovely site with very helpful staff.

Other people I know have stayed here, but this was my first time. They were much nicer than I anticipated and the location was fabulous. Nice and quite and great scenery, everything with everything you could need in the chalets for your time away. "The Barn" is minutes away and they gave us access to a drying room, which dried overnight even the most soaking clothes. I really liked how the showers were super hot (amazing after being outside in the rain all day in the spring!). The rooms could get quite cold, but the heaters warmed things up quite well. I couldn't really get the wifi to work the whole time I was there from my cabin, but other people seemed to get connection better depending on where they were.

Site very run down. Reception/club is party corrugated sheeting and is very much in need of repair. Kitchen is also in this building. Staff stand outside smoking here. Some of cabins appear to have outside updated but inside very shabby. We were given number of our cabin nfortunately there are no numbers on doors! We visited with an Itison voucher which was not a lot of money but I would have complained if I had paid more. Very disappointing. Only good thing is on an is 5 minutes away.

Not sure what you mean by reception/club? Our award winning country pub is located inside a converted cattle byre and it is what it is - characterful and historic. I am sorry your lodge did not meet your expectations - as the furniture and furnishings are all new I am disappointed that you did not find them to your taste. 15 is a newly clad lodge with private decking and is one of our most popular family-friendly lodges. I am glad you appreciated our location so close to Oban but very much in the countryside.

We stayed here with our kids which they loved everything was great the cleaning in the kitchen was ok few areas missed and the bathroom but nothing to worry about.

Are main problem was we had no hot water and a toaster that did not work and we had no one come and look and rectify this on our stay luckily we did have a shower and are kids like showers but I had to boil kettles to our dishes and it took twenty minutes to make toast and that was only lightly toasted. I think we were in one of the last cabins that had not been done up it would have been nice to be in a newer one With hot water. But other than that we will go back x

Thank you for letting us know about the water heater - so sorry the element failed during your visit. It is always a problem when things breakdown at the weekend in a rural location - it was replaced as soon as we could but that required a 5 hour round trip to purchase a new one as they are not stocked locally and Sod's law the spare we had in stock didn't fit! I am so glad it has not put you off returning to Cologin - next time I promise you will be able to have a boiling hot bath and not just a shower.

We enjoyed a relaxing 2-night stay at Coligan. The location is very remote, a short drive beyond Oban. It lies amidst some lovely scenery, with nice walks in the surrounding land. We stayed on a special deal so got the 2 nights for £90 which included the cost of the dog. The chalets are spacious, but with the poor weather outside they were quite cold so we kept the heating on. There is free wifi which is nice, but the signal is pretty weak. Not anyone's fault, just a reality given the remote location.

This was our second stay in one of the Cologin Lodges and yet again everything was excellent.
The quality of the staff is worthy of particular mention. Nothing is too much trouble for them.
The lodge we stayed in had everything we needed and had just been kitted out with new carpets and lounge curtains. It really was very good value for money.
The location too is a big draw. It's hard to believe you are so close to Oban and yet the setting is so rural.
One tiny feature which would be helpful, would be a letter box, where those checking out early could leave their key (and any electricity money due).

We had a lovely meal of Barra Haddock in the Barn. Food was served promptly but ultra fresh and well priced. It was a Tuesday evening and yet it was well frequented and had a pleasant buzz about the place.

Been in this lodge a couple of times now. It has recently undergone the installation of French Doors leading out from the Living Area out to a lovely decked area which has a bench and table set and night lights which allows you to sit out in the evening weather permitting. To be honest the only weather I wouldn't sit out in is rain but if you get a good clear cold night and are well wrapped up the night sky is just beautiful (with the lights off) as there is no other light to pollute the view. The Chalet is cosy although the furniture a bit dated. Bedrooms warm and beds comfy. This Chalet has a bath which is an added luxury as not all have. Kitchen is well stocked and has the addition of washing up liquid,tea towels kitchen roll and dish cloths which in a self catering chalet you would normally expect to have to bring yourself. I love going to Cologin for the tranquility and beauty of the area and wouldn't hesitate to recommend to anyone.

Arrived late Friday evening to Cologin to find that the heating and lights had been turned on for our arrival, lovely touch!! The lodge has everything you need to cook a full meal and the deck outside also has a dining area. We ate at the Barn on Saturday evening and the food was delicious with a relaxed atmosphere. Would recommend that you visit here if you want to just chill out and perhaps do a bit of walking, or just take in the spectacular views.

Stayed in January but infact Cologin was closed, no restaurant, no bar. Was only slightly better than a caravan. Very cold, no remote for tv. Very dated furniture etc. Isolsated from Oban other than driving down a muddy single track which my car struggled to drive along. Too far away to walk in dark. None of the restaurants in Oban were open either so seemed strange to offer a voucher for january. Only stayed one night and cost £6:70 for electricity £4 for thermal socks and toilet roll! Had it not been gifted to us i wouldnt have stayed.

So sorry you did not enjoy your winter break at Cologin. Unfortunately as you were gifted the voucher you were not to know that our restaurant would be closed during January. The voucher was valid from 1st Septemner to 31st January and am sorry that this information was not passed on to you. There were many restaurants in Oban which were open during your visit in January and as the lodges are fully equipped for self catering this does not normally cause our guests any problems. You may not have personally liked the furniture but I can assure you it is all very current and most of it was only purchased last year. For many of our guest it is Cologin's location which provides that sense of being away from it all (but less than 2 miles from town) that appeals. I accept it does not suit everyone but there are some wonderful walks around the hills straight from your lodge so you can really get away from city living and enjoy the countryside. Perhaps you would have enjoyed Cologin more in the Spring sunshine so I do hope you will give us another try in better weather!

I had so been looking forward to returning to Cologin after visiting two years ago. My two friends, Maureen, Andrea and my wee Border Collie, Carragh, were not disappointed. The lodge felt like a home from home and was cosy, well equipped and comfortable as we remembered and I mean that from the perspective of Carragh too.
We had the benefit, this time, of partaking of one of Cologin's music, food and entertainment events, this time, in aid of MS.

It was one of the best nights out (but in, if you see what I mean) that we all had had for a long time and thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it. Thanks are due, therefore, to the chef and other kitchen staff, the bar staff, the musicians, the locals and every other buddy who made us feel like we were in the local just down the road - we were, of course but our lovely lodge was just a stone's throw away from the festivities. We were thankful, of course, the next day to find that we had all made the 200 yards home safely at 3 o'clock in the morning!! Ha ha.
Thanks for a fabulous stay and we look forward (I think) to seeing the photos (with names omitted to protect the innocent, please).
Sincerely,
Margaret, Maureen, Andrea and Carragh the Collie.
PS We'll be back. ;-)

What a lovely couple and staff in the bar. Very helpful and friendly. Would definitely recommend and would stay again. Problem with ventilation in the chalet. With asthma it was a problem as it was really damp and the heating/electricity cost more on top of the expense of the chalet which was not cheap! Bit of a shock for a £9 election bill for 3 nights stay. Bathroom cold, & bathroom blind did not work. Lovely kitchen & loads of room in the 2 bed chalet.

Our website recommends allowing £3.00 per day for electricity so your bill at £9 following 3 days in the middle of winter should not have been a shock. We noticed you had closed all the ventilation slats on the double glazed windows which are designed to allow fresh air to circulate - I appreciate the weather was very poor when you stayed but if you want ventilation these should really be left open. Not sure what the problem was with the blind - went up and down fine when I checked it but will ask hubby to try as he can break almost anything! So glad all of these 'issues' did not spoil your stay and delighted you would visit us again - perhaps next time try a spring break as winter in the west coast is guaranteed to be wet and windy!

Would come back.

4 adults, 2 children and 2 dogs. Plenty of room for us all and everything you could need. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend this place for a weekend away. Beautiful location, plenty of walks and the boys enjoyed fishing.

We really enjoyed our stay at Cologin. The staff were really friendly and helpful. Food in the Barn was excellent and good value for money, lots of choice. The accommodation was warm and cosy. This was also such a dog friendly place. Amber our chocolate lab met up with Bengie who is also chocolate and gorgeous. Would recommend it and would return.

One chalet was furnished more comfortably in the living room that the others and more comfortable couches would be nice in those that didn't have them.

We stayed at Cologin Chalets for a few days and it was the ideal spot. There are some lovely walks on your doorstep. The size of the accommodation was perfect for us, with a family of four and 2 small dogs.

The chalet was basically clean, but the bathroom in particular is in need of some upgrading.

If the chalet was brought up to date and had new carpets and bathroom and newer bedding, etc. it would be fantastic.

We stayed for 3 nights at the beginning of October. First off, the setting and location is fantastic! 5 minutes from the town and your in a completely picturesque setting.
The lodge was perfect, we fitted a travel cot in the double room and our other kids were comfortable in the twin room. The lodge was clean and had all the equipment you need.
We loved the decking area with picnic table, and even enjoyed watching a dear graze for an hour just at the other side of the decking.
The pub staff were very friendly, and the small enclosed play park perfect for the kids.
We visit the west coast often and feel privileged to have found such a gem of a place! We will definitely book again!

Having never been to Scotland before, my husband and I decided to give this place a try.

After a long drive from the north west of England we were warmly greeted by our host, Linda. We were given the keys and proceeded inside to make ourselves at home.

In a previous conversation I had told Linda that we were newlyweds and I was moved, nearly to the point of tears, to discover a bottle of champagne and a nice message of congratulations awaiting us (thank you so much.)

The Chalet was clean. This one had two bedrooms with a king sized bed and two singles. They all had decent mattresses and bedding. The main room has comfortable seating, a good sized television as well as satellite television and a DVD player. The wifi worked well for the time we were using it.

The kitchen has enough utensils and crockery to make a decent meal. The electric cooker works well for most applications and the fridge and freezer is of a good size.

The bathroom is large enough for anyone to use in comfort. The water comes out very hot and it has decent pressure. No complaints about the shower either.

The site is fairly small but, as the chalets aren't in uniformed rows, it feels peaceful and quite private. It is very well maintained and is in a beautiful area. In the four nights that we stayed we were able to see the northern lights, an amazing amount of stars as well as wildlife, such as deer which came right up to our chalet.

Unfortunately we didn't have time to visit the barn bar but it looked good from the outside.

This is a truly wonderful place to holiday and we will definitely be returning next year!!

Accommodation was comfortable and basically clean as long as you didn't look at the tray in the oven which was covered in grease and the two hall cupboards one had clumps of mud on the floor and the other had evidence of mice, maybe to be expected due to location, in fairness I never met any! We requested a new bed light and torch and these were quickly provided. Patio furnature was broken but essentially accommodation adequate and comfortable. Would've have found a hairdryer more useful than a iron and board.

The paint was pealing off the outside of the chalet and the outside furniture was broken which did not create a good appearance on arrival. It was difficult to shut the front door and the windows at the front of the chalet need replacing. The kitchen area was good but the living area could do with being upgraded. We enjoyed our stay as it was a good location and very near to Oban. If I had paid the full price for the 3 days I would have been disappointed

We were very impressed with the lodges. Great location that's scenic and peaceful and great for children. The lodge itself was very well equipped, spacious and very clean. It was like a home from home.
The Barn was cosy and the staff friendly . We didn't eat there so I can't comment on the food but the menu looked great. We'd definitely like to go back.

Well located near Oban with supermarkets nearby. Friendly staff, clean and comfortable chalet. Excellent patio decking. Peaceful and quiet location with Barn Bar and award winning restaurant on site. No hesitation in recommending Cologin for a relaxing break. Enjoyed lovely day trip to Isle of Mull on the ferry from Oban. Visitors must try Tobermory Bakery for wonderful lunch or snack. Note that bus from ferry takes 40mins and costs 10pnd per adult return as nothing is local at Craignure where ferry comes in.

First class location,Chalet was nice and comfortable. Staff were very professional and helpful. I was very disappointed in the standard of the food,it could have been much better. Fish was under cooked and not eaten. We ordered an additional portion of chips that were much better. The atmosphere in the Bar was very good and friendly. If we visit again I would be very reluctant to eat dinner in the bar. It may have been an off night for the Food staff.

The lodge was perfectly prepared when we arrived and checking in via the Barn was easy! We loved the seculsion of the decked area - thankfully the weather allowed us the opportunity to sit out on the deck for breakfast and with a glass of wine post dinner!
A little slice of heaven, wish we were still there - it's hard to come back to the city after the tranquility of Paddock Lodge. We loved it so much we stayed an extra night at short notice - which Jim was kind enough to accommodate!
We have been telling all our family and friends about it and the fact that we'll definitely be back. My parents have just got a new puppy and are delighted that Cologin Lodges are dog friendly (although you'd never know as the lodges are spotlessly clean) and are thinking of coming next year when Amber (the puppy) is properly trained.
Plenty to do in the surrounding area if you have the energy. Just as nice to totally relax around the lodge and Barn. We just ran out of time and can't wait to come back again.

We stayed three nights here using a voucher deal which was very good value at £119. Ideally situated 3 miles south of Oban, the chalets are in a lovely peaceful setting surrounded by hills. Our chalet was clean and reasonably comfortable and well enough equipped but could really do with being modernised. Everything seemed very dated and the outside wood was in need of a paint. One or two things items would have been welcomed in the kitchen, such as a chopping board, bowl and teapot but I'm sure these would have been supplied had I asked. Staff were helpful and welcoming. The bar and restaurant were great additions to the site although we didn't use them on this occasion. We enjoyed our stay but not sure I'd like to pay double for such dated accommodation.

Great location in the glen and yet so close to Oban. Super deal and very good accommodation. Beds very comfortable and clean. Quiet site. Good climb to the fishing loch and lovely views but best to book the boat as bank fishing very limited.

Location is wonderfully surrounded by green hills. A car is a must to reach it. Oban is at 10minutes drive. Lodge is comfortable except for: very low water pressure that slows down showers and slight smoke smell although it was a non-smoking lodge.

Loved our few days at the lodge, as did the dog and the our little one. The guide book was fab and very informative, food at the barn was great as was the company. The chalets are a little dated and tired but we appreciate that as dogs are welcome and I'd rather have my dog than a 5* ritz. Only thing we didn't like was the size of the shower, I am only 5'3 and I felt crammed in. Take some space off the double bedroom and make a larger shower room! The seclusion of this chalet would make it ideal for a hot tub!! (Just saying) lol We will definitely be back in the near future.

The Cologin Chalet we stayed in was attractive and well maintained and had all the necessary requirements for a good self catering holiday. The kitchen was modern and well equipped. Everything in the chalet worked! The beds were comfortable, the television reliable and the chalet is unusually spacious. The bathroom was adequate but might benefit from a cosmetic face lift soon, although again, everything worked well. We have had several chalet holidays in different locations and Cologin was without doubt, the best - comfortable, spacious, clean, well equipped and in a really attractive setting. We would highly recommend this property, with confidence. We certainly hope to return.

The Barn Bar serves decent pub style food with efficient service at reasonable prices. It's very convenient.

I booked this as a last minute mid week break for my husbands 40th.It was lovely very comfortable.
The beds were great, it was all very clean. The shower was good too if a little small. It was fne for me but my husband is 6ft 4 so it was a bit of a squeeze but the pressure was good. Its very private and beautiful surroundings.
The food in the resturant is fab too and everyone is really friendly. We would definitely go again.

delivered everything for a very chilled, relaxing few days, staff where always there to help and advise. the food within the barn bar / restaurant was excellent. park itself was very well kept. some aspects of the chalets where a little dated but still quiet, warm and very comfortable. will return here in the future, for another chilled few days.

We have holidayed regularly at the chalets in Cologin for about 20 years. It is a very pleasant place to stay and our daughters always loved it when they were little.
When we first came we used to get a visit from the owners within an hour or so of our arrival to make sure everything was satisfactory, that no longer happens. The only minor problem this year was that the lock on the toilet door was stuck, obviously that hadn't been checked.
It was good having a fridge freezer in our chalet this year.
As to the question would I recommend this place to others I have ticked yes but with with some reservation this year.

I had intended that we would eat at the Barn every night this year but there was a problem with the service which we've not really had before. On a few evenings after we had ordered our meals it was over an hour before we were served. It put us off eating there every night especially as it wasn't busy every night

I am sorry we were not able to catch up with you during your visit - I did pop down on a couple of occasions but you were out. You are right I had not checked the bathroom door lock and I am sorry it was sticking. I have passed on your comments re slow service to Mary and Donnie at the Barn Bar. There are quite a few new members of staff and I am sure they will get quicker as the season progresses. I do hope you will continue to recommend Cologin to friends and colleagues despite your quibbles - we have made a number of improvements to the lodges and hopefully by next year we will have finished recladding and decking our two bedroom properties.

Thoroughly enjoyed my stay at Cologin; having been there previously in 1979(I think!) and 1992. Do think it would benefit from having a laundry and small shop with basic provisions, to make longer stays easier for families though.

Our cottage situated a short distance from Oban was in a beautiful (understatement) and natural area. The owners have an excellent information book for travellers that explains how to operate everything. The kitchen was modern and well equipped. One could hike on trails right from Cologin. The laundry was an added bonus for us as it was not available in most of the places we stayed in. Our hosts were very welcoming. I would definitely go back there.

The Barn Bar was unique and friendly - unfortunately just had a (really good) coffee there but enjoyed our chats with staff - neat place - with a fireplace and sitting area out front.

We stayed for four nights and found it delightful. Everything was clean and well-organized. We appreciated the binder of information about the lodge. Would have appreciated instructions on how to set the oven but other than that it was wonderful. Very quiet and beautiful and enjoyed visit from Benji the chocolate lab. Would love to be there now rather than the Southern California desert where we live!

My scores would have been a lot better if the property had been more reasonably priced. It just wasn't worth what we paid for it. We had just left a beautiful traditional cottage on it's own placed opposite a white sand beach for the same price. We were told we had to upgrade to a 2 bed chalet which I don't understand as we have 2 small Jack Russells and just us as a couple. We didn't need a bigger place for an extra £50. So we paid nearly £300 for 3 nights and broadband and electric is extra so I just don't feel it represents good value for money.
At the end of the day it's a very nice, family site and lovely and quiet in a good position near Oban. The chalet was clean but very flimsy, some lights didn't work, things kept falling off in your hand and the shower was the size of a small broom cupboard. We could have lived with this is if hadn't been as expensive as the beautiful accommodation we had just come from for the same price.

Thank you for the feedback on the extra duvet - it has been replaced. As we had upgraded you from the one bedroom chalet I am not sure why you needed the extra duvet, however, we carry plenty of replacements for most things and just need to be asked. I note your comments re the scratched Tefal frying pan and this has also been replaced. The lodges are not luxurious as they were built to be family and pet friendly. I am pleased you found the bed comfortable and I hope you enjoyed your visit to the West Highlands.

Just the loveliest of lodges. I've stayed in a fair few now and I think this is my overall favourite with its new French doors leading out to a lovely wee balcony looking out to the most gorgeous countryside. The weather was absolutely rotten but it's fair to say this spot is beautiful in any weather. Again Linda and Jim could not have been more accommodating. My hubby myself and wee pooch look forward to spending many more visits to Cologin in the future as its on the doorstep of so many beautiful Islands and Scottish beauty spots.

We really enjoyed our holiday and we have been to Cologin a number of times but this was the first time for a few years.
The lodge was clean and comfortable and the views as usual were fantastic.
When we arrived there was a mix up with our lodge which was partly our fault for not explaining properly as I had a back operation a few months ago but we were given another lodge immediately by Linda and then we had trouble locking the patio doors and within 10 minutes there was a carpenter on site who sorted it out straight away. If anyone is looking for peace and quiet then this is the place to go.
Just to mention that all of the staff and management there are very friendly and helpful and we do intend to book again.
The only thing that wasn't great was the weather but that is expected on the west coast but it didn't spoil our break.

My friend and I were new to self catering, but the adorable owners, Linda and Jimmy, saw us through and were so helpful and just plain fun. The only part you might want to consider...even though it was a self catering, we ended up most nights at The Barn Restaurant...Divine place to dine.

It is a fabulous walking area as well...

Loved my stay there and adored all the friendly staff.

I stay as frequently as I can. Jim and Linda are interesting and helpful hosts. The accommodations are clean, large and comfortable. Lighting and internet access are very good, allowing as much work as the spirit will tolerate. The scenery is striking, with fine local walks. There are nearby points of archaeological and historic interest, while at the same time the complex is centrally located, within comfortable travel distance to some of the most important sites in Scotland.

The Barn is fun. The meals, the service, and the local entertainment are excellent while the conversation is delightful.

Chose Cologin for its location - very near Oban but in proper countryside with easy access to the sights to the south. Not disappointed, only wish we had had time to explore the immediate surroundings more. Having a characterful pub on site where you can eat well too is something that not many holiday chalets can offer.
Chalet was fine inside, though perhaps could do with some updating. Exteriors definitely need renovation, but don' t be put off by first impressions. Staff very friendly and helpful.

Visit this area regularly but this was the first time staying at Cologin Chalets and was not disappointed. My 2 young boys absolutely loved it, in a stunning location with plenty of space for them to run around outside and in the play park. The Barn is a great facility to have on site too serving really good food with something for everyone. Will definatly stay here again.

Only critic was the staff could maybe be more aware of their customers as I was travelling on my own with my 1 & 3 year old and was left waiting quite a while to get attention at the bar to order/pay for food and with kids getting cranky I was aware they may have been disrupting other paying guests.

Great food, service a little slow when trying to get served at the bar which was understandable with it being busy but a little more consideration would have been nice when was noticeable I was on my own with a 1 & 3 year old who were quite restless.

We had an enjoyable week long holiday at Cologin. Accommodation is very comfortable - beds especially are good quality. Sofa is ok but a bit on the small side.

The best part about Cologin is the staff. They are all very helpful and friendly.

In summary, great location for young families. I would recommend to friends.

Set in a beautiful valley surrounded by hills and forests Cologin is ideal for dog lovers , cosy bar and restaurant with outdoor seating and logs fires burning when needed ....my only grouch is having to pay for electricity separate, didn't like the worry of running up a huge bill ,especially as it was cold when I stayed there , didn't use the heating to full capacity for that reason , Why not just stick an extra £10 on short visits and £20 for the week to the price .

.. chalet was needing a bit upgrading, it was very clean bed a bit small not that we were big people. it is a nice location if you like to walk you can get fed up with the hills on both sides of the chalet with only sheep to look at. the town centre nice and near. . we were a bit apprehensive to using the electric heaters in case we had a big bill to pay at the end of the holiday . fine for a couple of days. I would only recommend this property to friends if they were walking

Thank you for your feedback. Cologin is a bit like Marmite - customers either love us or hate us! For those who want the peace and tranquility of a countryside location but with a cracking wee pub on site then we rarely disappoint. Views of sheep and hills come with the territory, but as you point out the town centre is only minutes away when you need an urban fix (albeit west coast style). I do hope you will recommend us to your walking friends for a short break. If they did want the electric heaters on then the average spend is £3 per day and it is something we are reviewing but for some of our European agents (who are perhaps a bit more 'green' than we are in the UK) electricity must be charged separately!

We stayed 3 nights on a Groupon deal. I found it to be a lovely, peaceful place and while it's not 5 star luxury, no hairdryer e.g it is in the most amazing setting & everyone was helpful & friendly. The weather was very good so we managed to sit outside in the sun with a glass of wine. Very relaxing. The restaurant was pretty good too.

We arrived late one night and could not see the kerb very well and since the kerb was already broken (by another car, presumably ) and it had a sharp broken edge that was not fixed by the owners, it jagged in to our car's tyre tearing it completely. We had a Ford s max and these cars do not come with a spare but a tyre self repair kit. But the cut was so sharp and deep that after 4 hours of trying to repair it , we had to give up and hire a taxi to the city to get a new one. If the owners took more care to maintain, it would have saved us a good deal of trouble. I would love to go back but I would like to see the owners maintain the property in better shape and I would like something in way of compensation as the tyre we lost was a brand new one that cost us close to £150.

I am very sorry you drove over the kerb outside the lodge - the reason we ask customers to let us know if they will be arriving later than the official check in time of 4pm is so we can put the outside lights on for you as I appreciate arrving in the dark is not easy when you don't know the layout of the site. However, you did not inform us of a late arrival (I gave up waiting for you to check you in at 11pm) so frankly we assumed you were a 'no show'. I am surprised that you did not alert us to your problem in the morning when we saw you. The car appeared to be fine then, although I did note that the kerb stone had been broken. You only informed us that you had a problem with a puncture on the day of your departure and we immediately rearranged our arrivals and cleaning rosta to allow you to stay in the lodge whilst you replaced your tyre. I am sorry that you feel this is not good customer service. Unfortunately as you will already be aware from our booking terms and conditions "Your vehicles and their accessories and contents are left entirely at your risk." However, as I would not like your memory of your stay at Cologin spoiled by a puncture I will certainly send you a voucher to allow you to return. Hopefully on your next visit you will arrive in daylight!

Our review is based on the fact that we paid £99 for three of us for 2 nights. The lodge is quite dated but comfortable with all the things we needed and hot water. We ate in the barn one night and were suprised at all the drinks on offer and the prices were really reasonable. The barman was very friendly and we were impressed by the service. The location is great a couple of miles to Oban but so peaceful onsite. We would definately return. And with a little tlc the chalets could be really great. We would also suggest that wifi is not limited to2 hours per 24 hour period as this seems somewhat dated in this day and age

The best thing about this break was the pub. The chalet was fantastic, clean, and much better than I expected. I did not know the pub was on sight though, and this was a great surprise.

When we got there, we didn't have to leave the place. I thought I might have to travel into Oban for food and night life - but it was all provided on site at the pub (The Barn Bar) and the food was fantastic and affordable. Can't wait to come back again.

Also enjoyed the fact that there was no phone reception. Great experience.

We booked a Cologin pet friendly chalet, no. 11, for the last weekend in March and were pleasantly surprised by the location of Cologin, in a Glen just south of Oban. The scenery is beautiful and the staff were very welcoming. The chalet itself was very clean, had two large bedrooms, one double and one twin and a good sized bathroom with bath and overhead shower. The open plan kitchen, dining and living room area was also a good size, easily accommodating our family of four and our dog.
It is perfectly situated for exploring the surrounding area and during a trip into Oban the staff of The Barn, the on-site bar restaurant, offered to keep an eye on our dog. The food in The Barn was delicious, produced from locally sourced ingredients and was reasonably priced. On the Sunday evening, while enjoying our second evening meal there, we were entertained by some local gentlemen who had brought various instruments and provided musical entertainment.
Cologin also have their own woods and loch on site, which provided lovely walks and also the option of fishing from the shore or by boat, free of charge. It is a long walk for smaller children and suitable footwear should be worn , it can get quite muddy if the weather's been particularly wet.
We all really enjoyed our time at Cologin and hope to return in the future.

The welcome and food were excellent. The Barn Bar provides freshly made food from locally sourced ingredients and a wide range of fine Scottish ales to sample.If you are lucky you might even be treated to some local musical entertainment.

Overall we found the lodge comfortable although it was a little chilly even with the heaters left on all day while we were out. My only gripe is that the kitchen equipment provided was very basic - there was nothing to clean with - which explained the slightly grubby cutlery and cups, a lack of chopping board and some other basics. Minor things though.

I booked our weekend using a Groupon voucher for the first time and was very surprised after booking my voucher and calling the lodges to confirm my dates, that additional surcharges were added which were not explained at the time of booking on Groupon. Just something to be aware of and I will certainly check with the proprietor before booking anything else on Groupon. I'm not sure if this is the fault of Groupon or Cologin? It was a very enjoyable weekend though and the site is very peaceful, well maintained and in a beautiful setting. The sea of stars at night was amazing. It just wasn't quite the last minute bargain I thought it was going to be.

One of our customers managed to photograph the Northern Lights this week so the starry skies are a real bonus at Cologin. I am glad you enjoyed your short break. Groupon are responsible for the offer that we have agreed with them and the supplements appear in their fine print. I am afraid we have no control over how they choose to publicise the deal but even with the extra charge I think your break was excellent value for money at a saving of over 50%. As a return customer you will benefit from a 10% discount if you rebook direct with us so I hope you will come back and enjoy the skies above Cologin another time.

I have stayed here with my wife on a number of previous occasions, for a short break. The chalet lived up to our expectations and was clean and warm which was a good thing as the weather was wet for the whole of our stay. This lead to a small problem of water dripping into the bedroom from a ceiling vent. This was dealt with immediately we reported it by the offer of a different chalet but we decided to stay put as we were only there for a short visit. Subsequently, a refund of part of the cost was made which was very fair indeed. The onsite bar, the Barn is a great facility with a small but excellent range of real ale, a bonus in Scotland during off season periods.

We will be back.

Very cosy bar with well kept real ale and small but interesting selection of Malt Whiskies.

Had a lovely break at Cologin. Took a little while to heat the lodge up (it was February right enough) and the bedrooms were very basic but the living area was nice and our lodge had a big kitchen and table and chairs so perfect for self catering.

The barn bar was the highlight for us. Lovely pub with friendly staff and we had a delicious meal which was very reasonably priced

The lodges are ideally located 5mins out if Oban and in middle of countryside , there is a great play park for the kids and the barn restaurant and bar is kid and dog friendly with the added bonus of serving great food and ale.
Would not hesitate to recommend these lodges.

Lodge no 12 is my favourite so far. We've stayed twice before. It was cosy well equipped and spotless inside. I only booked it the night before and Linda who took our booking was very helpful and accommodating and gave us a two fir one deal which was brilliant value fir money. A plus was that there had been a heavy snowfall and we seen The Glen in all it's beauty.
Looking forward to many more visits in the future.

Great location just minutes from centre of Oban. Clean, simple chalet, lovely countryside surrounding the location, well equipped kitchen & chalets incl Hairdrier, iron, spare light bulb & even torch. Our chalet was a bit tired however & had some mould in bathroom & problems with cupboard ceiling collapsing, however some of the chalets seem to be getting modernised so perhaps this will be rectified. Got good groupon deal, don't know if I'd pay full price for the stay. Was disappointed didn't get free wifi in chalets past a 20 minute daily limit as the info we were sent said we could log on unlimited times per day, for 30 mins at a time. Particularly when no mobile signal was received & no phone line in chalet.
Overall our stay was fine.

Ideal spot for a wee holiday with a relation who needs a wheelchair - something that is much more difficult to organise than it should be! Barn Bar was cosy and welcoming, with extremely friendly, pleasant and helpful staff - a really nice atmosphere for the whole family, and our wee boy loved the Hallowe'en decorations! We enjoyed a delicious wee snack and a couple of drinks on the Saturday night before retiring to our cosy chalet.
Unfortunately, we chose the worst weekend of the year so far - at the end of October (rain literally did not stop, with cars in the town centre ending up under water when the Lochavullin burst its banks!) so we didn't get a proper chance to explore around the Cologin site. But we saw enough to make us want to come back again in the spring/summer. Thanks to all concerned. It's not easy to organise a trip when a wheelchair is involved!

This is our 5th visit to Cologin and we've always enjoyed our stays. Its a perfect location that looks and feels like the middle of no where, but only 2 miles from Oban. The staff are always friendly and extremely helpful. It really feels personal because there are not so many cottages as to be lost in the crowd.

The cottages have plenty of space, a real home away from home.

Both my children are now in their teens, and when asked if we should come back next year, they both replied "Yes". So we've already booked for next year.

The food served in the Barn is excellent and the company is always pleasant. When its cold there is nothing better than sitting in front of the log burning fire.

Effortless booking. Easy to get to. Welcoming after a long drive. Self catering in style. I am really impressed at the care given
to providing the facilities at the Cologin Chalets that we take for granted in our own homes. We wanted for nothing. The heating was on, hot water, welcoming light. The bed was amazingly comfortable, and everything was spotlessly clean. Thank you for making our stay in Oban so very pleasant. This was our third visit to Cologin and the bar had been raised yet again. See you next year!

Lovely spacious lodges, beds were really comfy but it was a little tired and could be doing with some modern decoration. Wasnt enough hot water for a bath and couldn't work the oven or heating properly so it would have been nice to be shown how to do this on arrival. Also think a shop is needed to buy milk etc without having to drive into oban.

This was my second stay and it was as good as my first. The lodge was very comfortable, clean and conveniently located close to Oban. An added advantage was the Barn, a friendly, cosy bar/restaurant which serves good wholesome affordable food on site.

I booked a chalet at the last minute for an Autumn Break after being unable to find any hotel in Oban , or any self catering business outside Oban with the manners to reply to an email .

From the start I was impressed by Cologin's courtesy in replying immediately with a phone call , and although I had never heard of this business , I had a good feeling about my weekend .

I've been going to Oban for several years now with friends for short breaks and frankly , it's only the beauty of the surrounding area that ensures repeat visits . My first choice is self catering but there is very little available in Oban and the decaying over priced Victorian chain hotels without modern bathrooms , heating or TV / Wifi facilities and bland supermarket food when there is an abundance of quality produce in the surrounding area seriously put me off this town .

I was delighted to discover Cologin and it's fantastic local inn . For the same price as a run down hotel in Oban , we had two bedrooms , a lounge with Sky TV , Wifi , car parking , large kitchen / diner , comfortable lounge and garden seating outside .

The accommodation throughout was of a very high standard and the local inn was a short walk when we felt like eating out .

I can't recommend this accommodation enough . Even if you like the pub/restaurant life in Oban it's only a short 2 mile journey by car/taxi and situated in a beautiful glen which is safe for children to play and roam and where pets are welcome .

We visited the Barn and thoroughly enjoyed our food and the character of the building . The staff were great and it was refreshing to have a good choice of wine to choose from .

We were very happy with our chalet, these aren't really luxury lodges but provide all the facilities that are needed to provide a comfortable and relaxing holiday. The Barn Bar is an absolute gem, it's always busy and makes the chalets a unique holiday experience. Jim the owner is always on hand to fix any problems. We'd go back again in a minute.

A great place to stay away from the hustle and bustle of daily life. Appreciated the help in booking the break from Linda. The kids (should I say other adults) appreciated the Wi-Fi - cannot be without Facebook! Enjoyed our walk to Cologin Loch and it did take an hour as we'd been told. Loved watching the wild life around us. Will be back.

Cologin is in a great location just outside Oban. The accommodation is compact but gives everything you need during your stay. The weather was amazing whilst we we there which only adds to the gorgeousness of the location.

The Barn Bar serves nice real ales and the freshly made food is excellent.

I have read other reviewers talking about the WiFi that is provided and the cost and speed of it. Given the location the fact that they can provide any kind of Internet service should be regarded as a bonus. And as to cost of using the WiFi, the kit they use to provide the service is NOT cheap - I know as my husband has bought and worked with it. So please bear that in mind when accessing the service.

Overall i would thoroughly recommend Cologin and now we have a dog we know a great place to take him as well.

Thank you for your positive feedback and your understanding regarding the wi-fi and our distance from the nearest (rural) exchange. The system we have installed is definitely not cheap and the equipment is leased - hence the small charge. We think 30 mins free access in the chalet (and 20 mins in the Barn on a different network) is enough time for folk to check emails and google an activity/attraction but we do monitor this and will look at increasing the free connection time next season. If we removed the charge completely the system would become so slow that if would just not be worth having! We look forward to welcoming you back to Cologin - don't forget as a return customer you will benefit from 10% discount on our weekly rates. And so glad you enjoyed the food at the Barn - since your visit our pub has been named 'Scottish Pub of the Year' for the North West Region in the Scottish Food awards. We were chuffed to bits!

We spent a lovely few days at Cologin chalets. Couldn't fault the chalet, very clean everything worked and the chalet is well equipped. A very quiet and peaceful location just a few minutes drive from Oban, so ideal for exploring this area with lots to do.
A very nice rustic bar/restaurant on site with good value meals. Staff very friendly and helpful. We will no doubt return again.

Location awesome...I have been to Cologin on a number of occasions mainly because of the location (with access to a Loch and a rowing boat and free fishing). It has the added bonus of the Barn Pub which serves excellent food from lunch time until the evening (they have just won the coveted North West Scotland Pub of the year). The staff are very friendly and the locals welcoming. (that was pre referendum) The only criticism I have is on the accommodation which is now starting to look a bit tired. I think this is being addressed as there is a refurbishment programme in hand.

Service has only got an OK as although there were faults pointed out with the accommodation nothing was done about it. The service in the Barn was excellent.

You get free WiFi if you need it but only for 30 minutes a day in the accommodation and 20 minutes in the Barn. If you log on then you will have to wait a full 24 hours before you can access again. You have the option of buying more time but I would not bother unless you really needed it.

I will be going next year and hopefully the accommodation will have improved.

Great for peace and quiet and for getting away from it all

This was an Itison deal price, therefore was good value for three nights. If I had paid
full quoted tariff, I would have been disappointed with the general tiredness of the condition, especially the bath/shower room.
All in all a great location for Oban, some suggestions:-
Replace the wooden toilet seats with a more easily cleaned type.
completely renew grouting around bath/shower/sink.
Provide a third mobile seat for lounge area. The fixed benches are ok but with more than two guests, prepare for a stiff neck watching TV.

From arrival until departure could not fault the whole trip

Very friendly and helpful staff in bar with food and Beers excellent and good value for money

Sunday afternoon live music at Bar with German Michael was great

Coming from the lake District did not expect Oban area to be able to compete with our local scenery but it was stunning

Totally recommend the Mackerel Fishing trips from Oban Harbour and the Ferry trip to Mull was fantastic value for money

Will be returning again

Cologin chalets are very comfortable and very beautifully situated. They are designed to be part of the landscape and they manage this quite well. All communication with the administration was friendly and helpful.

Great place to stay for families and dog owners, however a couple within our group were not very impressed so if you are used to 5 star accommodation this will not be for you!!

Family of six stayed for a long weekend, including 3 children aged 12 years to 8 week old baby and the family dog. This was our fourth stay at the barn, it's an ideal place to stay with a family, there is plenty of space for the children to play, both in the chalet and outside. Comfortable and clean rooms, friendly and welcoming staff. Well fitted kitchen with everything you need. Sky tv, and interesting friendly welcome pack. Our children loved tto play at the play area, and visit the horses and cows. Also a meal at the barn bar is a must, excellent food and atmosphere and friendly staff. We are all looking forward to our next visit!

We have visited Cologin three times now with two teenage boys and a dog. It is a great location for us: quiet and rural with a pleasant walk straight out of the door, but close to Oban and the sea. The Barn is a great asset with a friendly welcome and great food. The accommodation is simple but comfortable and well equipped. The boys were delighted to be able to use wifi occasionally.
Heartily recommended for an outdoor holiday.

Nice stay ; we were happy to find the keys directly on the chalet and warmed up as we arrived late after landing at Glasgow, we also apreciated to feel the staff was confident on our honesty. Yet we feel a list of kitchen items could be welcome for our own sake ; it would have helped us to check we hadn't lost anything !

On our side also it might have been better if we had read thouroughly the attached email to reservation confirmation as we didn't note the towels were extra (different from the two other rentals we had after) as they are usefull when you travel lightweight.

Would be a good idea on the instruction sheet to have one or the pics of the electric switches (as se were not used to the english electric system during the stay we inadvertedly switched of the immersion heater).

Kitchen was quite well equiped but lacked may be the extra glass and tea spoon (just in case we invited somme friends for instance for an 'aperitif' or tea). May be the most usefull accessory would be a frying pan lid, as we were not so used to the electric cooker (gas quite often found in France).

The chalet is clean and well equipped, with enough room for 4 people.
The location is far enough from Oban to be calm
Only we did not appreciate the shower (no pressure enough) and would have preferred that towels are included in the basic price.

Although excellent location the cottage quite clean the lounge seating was very uncomfortable and crockery and cooking utensils absolute minimum and stained to years of use. Most importantly we had booked wheel chair accessible accommodation only to arrived to find the shower was over a bath . Although there was a step it did not enable access yo the showed or bath for my disabled friend. The Barn providing good was on site and useful for emergencies but not good quality food. The information didn't give any instructions regarding recycling and although we were told in initial information there was a washing machine there were no directions to it and we didn't find it.

I am so sorry your friend was unable to access the bath - however, we do stress on our website that this lodge is for 'assisted wheelchair access' and I quote from our Q&A page: "We have two lodges on site that are graded as ‘assisted wheelchair access’ by VisitScotland. They have wider doors and corridors and a sliding door to the bathroom with plenty of space for a wheelchair to turn within. Please note we do not have roll in showers – the bath has grab rails, a bath seat and an extra long shower hose for the overhead shower to facilitate showering whilst seated. Access is level and there is plenty of adjacent parking. There are no high level cupboards in the kitchen and if required a portable bed hoist can be used with either double or single beds. We are happy to raise bed levels if required or remove surplus furniture to provide more space. Please note, both these lodges are pet friendly and both have additional fixed single sofa beds in the living area." The fixed single sofa beds are popular with carers but we take note of your comments regarding their comfort for sitting. There are however, two armchairs in the lodge in addition and we would have been very happy to provide alternative Parker Knoll chairs had you advised us of your problems. I am surprised at your comments regarding the quality of our food in the Barn Bar - we use local ingredients and support local suppliers and the quality of our food is excellent. Our tripadvisor reviews and feedback on this site are extremely positive for the Barn Bar and I invite you to contact me to discuss any particular item that you had an issue with so I can raise it with our head chef. Our staff are on site 24/7 and anyone would have been very happy to show you where the laundry was located. There are also directions to it in the welcome folder which was on the coffee table in your lodge for your arrival. I am delighted that you appreciated the 'excellent location' of our properties - I am just sorry that you did not let us know during your stay that you were not enjoying your holiday.

The food in the barn bar is very good and the seafood specials I had were out of this world. All the staff are very friendly and anything they can help with they do. It was extremely good value for the money and I believe we will be back ! Highly recommend xx

The owner is very nice and dropped in to see how we were. The place is secluded and s good place for children and the lodge had all the basic amenties. The decor of the lodge does need updating as the carpet, in particular, is very old fashioned. Also the laundry facilities are poor - we would have been prepared to pay a bit extra to have a small washing machine available in the lodge as we needed up taking ours down to the laundrette in Oban as the communal one didn't look in the best condition.

Positives: Pub was very welcoming and food was great. Kitchen & lounge in chalet were perfectly adequate. Shower was good.
Negatives: There was no clear direction on when kids weren't allowed in the bar - surely this should be extended when attracting families? I'm afraid the beds & bedding were not up to scratch at all and need replaced with something from the 21st century! I would not have wished to put my young kids in the bath - yuch! Why did our chalet not have a table/adequate seating area when all others appeared to have a table & chairs?

Thank you for your positive feedback on the pub. The terms of our children's licence allows under 14s into the bar (for the purpose of a meal) with adult supervision and this is explained fully on our website and in our brochures. I am afraid it is the law and whilst we would love to welcome families with young children beyond 8pm we are unable to alter our licence. I note your comments regarding the beds in 11 - the singles were a set of bunk beds which have now been split. However, they are less than 5 years old and are not currently due to be replaced. The double bed has an antique bed head but the frame and mattress are certainly from the 21st century! Unfortunately our water stains porcelain and indeed when you run a bath the water can appear very brown - it is very soft and is actually great for young skin so I am sorry you did not enjoy it. Your feedback regarding an outside seating area has been noted. As you will appreciate there is no level grass area to put an outside table and chairs on next to this particular lodge. However, we appreciate that in the sun shine our guests do want to eat outdoors and in response to our guest feedback this lodge is now scheduled for a decked area off the gable end with access from new full length glass patio doors (from the lounge) so there will (soon) be a wonderful area to sit and enjoy the scenery. Until that time we have strimmed a grass area above the lodge's parking space and added an outside table and chairs - not ideal but hopefully will provide somewhere for guests to sit and enjoy the sun close to their lodge.

They are home from home with stunning views and amazing food in the Barn. The staff can't do enough for you and very attentive.

Pretty easy to find directions provided were good. The chalets were spacious even with 4 adults it was also pretty well equipped the only thing we had to buy were baking trays . It was clean and extremely quiet and peaceful we were verry lucky with the weather and the location not far from Oban was ideal every morning when we got up we were watching wild deer 20 feet from our front door . We all enjoyed our stay and the pub diner on site is handy if you don't want to cook all in all a very pleasant stay.

The lodge proved the ideal location for a group of four covering three generations with the addition of a dog. It was very well equipped and a minor problem was rectified quickly and in the best of humour. It is an isolated setting with good walking yet only a couple of miles from Oban. Ideal if you need to return to base with a toddler. The playground was in excellent condition and the bar/restaurant were a handy facility.

The site was well run and maintained and all the staff were pleasant and willing to help.

Beautiful setting so close to Oban. Fun to explore around & the food at the Barn was excellent. The accomadations were a bit dated & grungy. Have to pay extra at the end of the stay in addition to the rental fee for whatever electricity you used & couldn't drink, brush your teeth, etc... with their water standards. No usual welcome packet upon arrival like we've received at other self catering places.

We charge for electricity as this allows us to keep our rental costs down. I appreciate that you could not find your meter card on departure and thank you for leaving money in the lodge - however, it was far more than you needed as we only charge 10p per unit (which inlcludes VAT). Thank you for your feedback regarding a welcome pack. We offer a pre-provisioning service which is bookable online and Tesco online can also deliver direct to your lodge. All our lodges are provided with tea and coffee and of course we'll happily provide a jug of milk if you arrive and are desperate for a cup of tea before you have had a chance to go food shopping. I must point out that our water is perfectly safe to drink - we were on a boil notice earlier this month but that was lifted a few weeks ago as our second water sample passed with flying colours! Our water is spring water and most customers love the fact that it actually tastes of water and not chemicals. I will ensure that the cleaners search out any 'old' notices and bin them so thank you for bringing that to our attention and of course for all your positive feedback re our location, setting and the food at the Barn.

We have been coming to Cologin fairly regularly for nearly 20 years now. It is a lovely part of the country and the chalets are comfortable. I don't think the kitchen area is quite as good as it used to be, too many odd chipped plates and an assortment of glasses. Minor details, we tend to eat up at the Barn most evenings anyway and it is much better now with a good choice of delicious food. The play area for young children is great, I wish it had been like that when my daughters were small. So yes, some things could be improved but it's still a great place and I'm sure we'll be back many times in the future.

Chalet smelt of dog, the seetees were covered in dog hairs, the cooking eqpt: ie frying pans etc were full of fat, the trays in the oven were covered in foil but the trays were absolutely filthy, not been cleaned.

On the first morning the sink in the Kitchen was blocked, this was due to people putting fat down, which had solidified, we had to clean it before we could use it.

The hot water temperature was set far too high on the boiler, it was virtually at boiling point, the recommended temperature is 60 degrees.

I am so sorry you had concerns over the kitchen equipment in your lodge. If you had alerted us to a problem the pans would have been replaced immediately as we always carry plenty of new stock on site. I have raised the cleaning issues with my housekeeper and she will speak to the cleaners concerned. We use silver foil over the base of the grill trays to make them easier/quicker to clean on a busy turnover day. They should never be used as a short cut to cleaning and I am extremely sorry if this was the case. Pets are not allowed on the lodge furniture and again I apologise if you found dog hair in your lodge - but it is not a pet free lodge and there certainly were pets in it before you. If you had told us that there was a problem we could have moved you to a pet free lodge rather than you stay in a pet friendly lodge for your week's holiday. As you will see from the reviews for the lodge that you were in, the previous holidaymakers were very happy with their stay. I appreciate that it is impossible to please everyone but I am disappointed that we were unable to put things right there and then. However, thank you for your feedback regarding the hot water tank. This is very useful and we will now replace the thermostat on the cyclinder as it is obviously not cutting out at the preset temperature of 60 degrees.

Originally booked a week, ended up staying 10 days. A cracking little location in a typically Scottish Glen, we were lucky enough to witness a deer from our window each day and on our last day she brought out her fawn. Stayed with my husband and our dogs and found the most cracking local walks on which we were accompanied by the owners Labrador who seemed to be showing us to the Loch at the top of the hill. Had a couple of cheeky little swims (don't know if this is encouraged but we did it all the same). Ate at the Barn Bar a couple of times and both the service and food were excellent each time - you must have the pate starter!! Excellent selection of whiskey and the barman is great crack!! Did note a couple of negative reviews on trip advisor when we got back but we couldn't fault our stay and you know what...it's a timber lodge/chalet in the highlands of Scotland not the Ritz for goodness sake!! Excellent base to explore and just 'be'. We will be back!!

Stayed here for 3 nights and would definitely stay again. Lodges were just like a home from home with all you needed. Great location and having the Barn onsite for meals/drinks was great if you fancied a break from cooking. Meals are good value snd tasty. Oban is only 3 miles away so good for ferry to Mull etc and Oban has loads to see and do also coffee shops and various eating places. Really enjoyed stay and being able to take my dog was great.

An ideal location for peaceful accommodation with a bar if you wish to use it and good access to all the wonderful beautiful historical places to see in the area.

Even in the depths of winter, there was always a spot to be found at the Barn Bar onsite. Everyone we met was so welcoming, and friendly. We coudn't ask for more accommodating hosts in Jim and Linda. This is a special place, with endless walks, in a beautiful setting. The chalets were perfect, even for a stay of 2.5 months like we experienced.

Chalet was great even for my 32yr old Grandson, the views superb, and No 2 Grandson enjoyed his walks in the Hills.
The food in the Barn was very good and the staff very friendly. Will be back I'm sure. .Ciao. Bill from Wigan

Arrived tv was on and blaring away.
Outside dirty with previous occupants rubbish
Sky service very basic didn't work first night due to weather we were told, fortunately we were hardly ever there.
Bathroom lock did not work.
Overhead light in one room not working.
Plastic bag tied round shower?
Last night no water had to flush loo with water from hot water tap using basin.
Was peaceful until last night new neighbours were noisy all male adults.
Had to pay for electricity not included
When first problems brought to attention we felt as if we were the problem.
Setting very attractive
Interior of lodge very clean.
Living area drab sparse Ikea furniture
Have eaten in The Barn before as non residents didn't bother this time.
We continued our break in another lodge we had already booked near Oban far superior same price no extras.

I am sorry that you did not enjoy your stay with us but I would like to answer your negative points , I do not normally react to negative views as everyone has different ideas however I do think you are being rather unfair. The TV is always on for new arrivals purely for their convenience, the bin was in fact empty but there was a plastic fork and a bottle top on the grass at the side of the bin which were moved as soon as you informed us. Sky is freeview only as I understand it you were quite rude and adamant the you wanted a chanel that we were unable to provide unfortunately we can do nothing about that and it clearly states that we provide freeview only.We were unaware of any light bulb not working. I have no idea about a plastic bag round the shower I have checked the lodge and there is nothing there. The water was off in your last night unfortunately we have to do ruitine maintenance on the water supply as would be done any where and the water was off between 1am and 5 am which I do not think is unreasonable. Electricity is charged at 10p per unit I in fact took your money the following morning which came to 80 pence again I apologise if you think 80 pence is unreasonable.

I would like to recommend that the management update the website photos- the lodging was much larger than I had expected based on the images!
Very well apportioned with everything necessary to hand in a beautiful setting. The internet was a bit difficult to access but that's normal and we were given fair warning.

It was unfortunate that the staff were having an unannounced training day when we arrived, so we had to let ourselves in. As a result, we had to drive back to Oban to get a meal as the Barn Bar was closed. Neither could we get the Wi-Fi access code - we wanted to access the internet to plan some excursions (there is no phone signal site). Also the towels we had ordered were not in the chalet, so we could not have a shower after our days travelling.

Otherwise the chalets were very comfortable and pleasantly located and we enjoyed the rest of our stay. We had been given a much bigger chalet than booked which was appreciated and it had a wonderful mural on the lounge wall. On the Tuesday night we enjoyed a bargain curry meal in the Barn Bar.

I am afraid after staying in your lodges I was rather disappointed. It requires to be brought into the 21 century it is rather tired and I am afraid what I payed for it, it was not worth it.

The front door on the lodge you could see through it, if I had been staying there during the winter or early spring we would be really cold.

I had a problem with the cooker, yes someone came and showed us what the problem was, but when I looked at the manual ,the page concerning the problem was missing.

First impression off the barn was a rundown farm buildings full off rust and rubbish lying about.

On wi-fi my son who paid for it found it was useless and we could not get in the bar

I am afraid that I will not be back .

The location is good, one can take some nice walks, kids can roam around. Staff is friendly, the bar/restaurant is decent. The cabins are basic, bedrooms are very small, the beds are not very comfortable, especially the double bed which is quite narrow. Of the box spring mattresses you can feel and hear every single spring. The bathroom wasn't great either, didn't like the shower at all. Okay for a few nights, wouldn't like to stay there for longer. Wifi in the cabin is only free for ten minutes.

Our Cologin chalet was well appointed, comfortable and ideally placed for our visits to Oban. The location was quiet and the facility of the Barn Bar was useful to have on site. An excellent alternative to hotels or to escape the weekend frenzy of Oban town centre.

We visit Cologin 2 or 3 times a year and love it! We usually stay in the chalets but have also stayed in the farm house a few times which I would highly recommend for larger groups. Beautiful location, very laid back and relaxed atmosphere, very pet and child friendly and welcoming owners who are always happy to help with any queries.

The last time we stayed at Cologin was 30years ago and was delighted to find that it had not changed one bit. The staff at The Barn where great and the cook Mary provided the best quality meals we had tasted in our stay in Oban. Her Marshmallows are to die for. We will definately be back and wait for another 30years. Just love the place

Lodges are in a lovely peaceful location. The road is a track which is the only path suitable for wheelchair users on site, so don't expect to be able to access the loch. We were very disappointed that the pub didn't have a wheelchair accessible toilet, and the kitchen was very difficult for a wheelchair user to access. However the pub food was very nice and the site is very dog-friendly.

on arrival found a very friendly chap you told where we were staying and how to get there, really couldn't get lost! The chalet was clean and tidy modern, bedrooms tidy and cosy at night.

The only criticism I had was the settee in the lounge area not the most comfortable, especially the mustard coloured one, when you sat on it you nearly sat on the floor so had to use only one settee, maybe need to look at a replacement

We ate in the bar at night, food good and staff friendly.

I would definitely return when possible.

lock on chalet door maybe needing oiled as we found it very stiff to lock

great place to walk the dogs up the forest trails, not very good phone signal and if wi-fi available no notices

We would have liked to have used the barn bar during our stay, but it was closed on a Saturday night when we went over. We didn't use the wifi as it is only free for 10 minutes and thought it too expensive to pay for the amount of time you get it for.

Other than that, we were very happy with the lodge and although we had a voucher, thought it excellent value for money. We would definitely stay again.

I bought this weekend break from Itison for my 2 friends and I. On arrival the staff were friendly, efficient and accommodating. This carried on throughout our stay. The lodge was clean, beds were spotless and overall our stay was comfortable. The lodge would benefit from a revamp in the bedrooms and the bathroom, we discussed this with the manager who assured us this is being addressed in the near future. The location, just outside Oban town centre is ideal if you want to go on walks or if you want to go shopping a taxi into the centre costs £7. On site there is a bar and restaurant, we visited it on both nights and were not disappointed. The food was excellent and we were spoilt for choice. The log fires, 1 in the bar and the other outside added to our memorable stay. We are all looking forward to going back.

Enjoyed our stay in March 2014 (3 friends)
Cabin was very clean and everything was in good/as new working order.
i would come back again with my friends or my family, there is a small kids playpark on site, the bar/restaurant was welcoming and served good food. We took a taxi into Oban which was £7.50 so we could sample the fresh seafood on the pier with a couple of drinks. Easy to get a taxi back. The staff were friendly and we loved the real wood burning stove outside the bar (covered area, with sofas and chairs) and the log fire inside.
Wifi was available £3 for 24 hours. Couldnt get an orange or o2 phone signal so we purchased the wifi and used viber / whatsapp to make calls from anywhere on site.

The lodge was lovely and well appointed, set in a great location. There were a number of little things that could have been improved on. Noisy fire, shower, problems accessing TV stations and ill fitting front door. It was also a bit of a faff finding our lodge on arrival in the dark after a long journey. Be an idea to let people know in advance that mobile phones do not work in the area.
Highly reccommend Markie Dans in Oban very friendly welcoming dog friendly pub with FAB food.
Would I go back ? Yes.

Got a good deal on ITISON for Cologin Lodges, on arrival met with manager who gave us directions to lodge, getting in to the lodge, which was warm as they had put on the heating as it was November, was very clean and tidy, the couch and chairs were comfy and the main wall had a hand painted mural on it,also all the other lodges had different scenes of Scotland, kitchen had a good layout with plenty of cupboards, the cooker took a while to get it working as we were not use to electric, the bedrooms were a decent size with good storage.

Getting to Cologin Lodges was down a country track (Lane) just about 2.5 miles from Oban, and half a mile off the A816 the track was a decent drive with only a couple of potholes, Cologin was right in the country surrounded by hills, not good for mobile phones as did not get a signal, until got back nearer Oban, Wi-fi was okay for checking just your emails only couldn't do anything else and a couple of quid per day to use it.
The Barn Bar was warm and welcoming, had a roaring fire, good selection of Ales and the food was well cooked and hot.

Would recommend a stay anytime of the year.

We arrived on a wet Friday afternoon to a warm welcome. First impressions of the lodge were that it was a little run down but clean and tidy. To be fair we had 2 dogs with us and wondered if this was the reason for the lodge we were in? Shortly after our arrival we noticed dog mess directly out of our window we advised the owner and he said he would get it tidied up, unfortunately we looked out at this over the next 2 days. There was only one 2 seater sofa with others like seating benches fixed to the walls, this was not comfortable for a 2 night stay. The bedding was clean and tidy giving a good nights sleep. Overall we had a relaxing weekend and was good value for money.

The gentleman who booked us in was excellent, very friendly. Chalet was clean but basic, which was expected for the very reasonable price. We ate dinner in the restaurant on the Saturday night and one of our party was given a lasagne with the garne bouquet still in it. When we sent it back the kitchen removed the bouquet and sent it back. We would have expected a fresh one. Also on the Sunday checkout we were told to pay the electricity when we checked out but there was no-one around to pay or check we had paid the right amount. The amount noted that we started with was more than the reading we took at the end of the weekend so we were unclear what to do and there was no-one to ask. All said, we enjoyed our stay, lovely location and nice to have a place that happily takes dogs. I hope this feedback is helpful to you.

Very convenient, familiar and cosy. The whole experience would benefit greatly from a focussed maintenance plan, just sorting the basics (broken lightbulbs, lack of complete crockery or cutlery, provision of key kitchen items etc). There are some super "big" improvements - like new kitchens etc, but they are not as important as sorting out the small things. As an example, there's clearly a new microwave and toaster (hooray!) but the toaster was located immediately underneath the microwave on a shelf with the result that the microwave is partially melted and looks bad. Whoever used the toaster should have thought better, but whoever installed it should also have planned better! But Cologin Chalet has such great location, a great "local" feel and a great concept that jt's addictive! The food and atmosphere in the Barn have been steadily improving back to the wonder years.

I was pleasantly surprised by the both the size and the layout of the accommodation as both were excellent. The Inn which is on site looked really cosy and was busy. The overall experience was really good. I paid for the Wi-Fi in the accommodation but still could not access it ( the only disappointing thing ).

My only pet hate ( as with all of these offers ) is that you have to pay extra for weekends, but this would not put me off, its just my pet hate.

Had an amazing time at Cologin....the.location was out of this world.The chalet was great, really spacious and I was fantastic to have so muxh storage space, especially for wet coats & boots. The kitchen was well equipped and the kitchen/living area were clean. The besrooms had plenty of space and the only negative would be the massive cobwebs in the bedrooms, which we had to hoover away ourselves. The only downside was the shower which seemed to run hot for a minute then freezing for 5minutes. As it was a short break this didn't faze us too much but would definitely be a factor if considering staying for longer. Otherwise everything was really great and we had a lovely time. Also, I would rather that wi-fi price was incorporated into the overall cost.

Nice place. Staff very friendly. Cabin all ready for us with heating on. Barn food and ale was delicious. Would recommend this to anyone. The only downside was the electricity was charged on top of the accommodation bill.

We have now stayed at Cologin twice. The accommodation is always clean and well kept and the lodges are comfortable and cosy. We often choose to eat dinner at The Barn bar and restaurant where the service is good and the food generous and delicious. Overall Cologin is ideally located for exploring Oban and the surrounding area.

We have been enjoying holidays at Cologin Country Chalets and Lodges for the past 15 years and our recent visit was no different. The location and accommodation are excellent whether you want to travel locally or visit the islands. Jim and Linda's hospitality is second to none. The meals at The Barn are delicious and great value.

We intend to return to Cologin in May of this year and again at the end of 2014 to bring in the new year.

The overall experience was very enjoyable. Kitchen and bathroom looked good and were practical and fully equipped. Sofas in living room especially sofa bed were in need of updating and very uncomfortable. Bedrooms were adequate but beds were lumpy and uncomfortable. No mobile phone signal but wifi could be purchased and basic sky channels provided. Very friendly bar/restaurant with amazing log burners, very cosy and welcoming.

These are lovely wee cabins, situated on outskirts of Oban about 5 min car drive into town centre. The cabin was warm and clean with all you need for a stay provided for. This is a budget buy not a luxury cabin so if you are wanting up market log cabin this is not it. However for a couple of days away with the kids it's great. The only thing you should be aware is that you need to bring your own towels (including tea towel and scourer) and hairdryer. There are plenty of places to go a walk and there is a small kids park. We never went to the barn and I'm not even sure if it was open when we were there. However Oban is close enough to get shopping etc. it snowed heavily when we were there making it more difficult to get out and about. It was very pretty however looking out of the big windows. It felt like we were inside a snow globe. It was surprisingly warm and cozy. You do have to pay for your electric you use on leaving just to make you aware of an additional cost. We were

Accommodation was of a good standard with all the equipment needed for a comfortable stay. Staff were welcoming and friendly and although we did not eat in the bar we noticed that the food was of a high standard. Very scenic location and close to Oban where all amenities are at your disposal.

An excellent place for a wee break. Quite a secluded little place, but only a couple of miles from Oban. Was an ideal spot for a wee break away from home.
