Amazing Stay

Stunning views all around! The House was like a step back in time, plush and inviting. It was located far enough away for some time to relax, but close enough to see the Isle, Oban and the wonderful area in Glencoe. BUT the best part of the stay were the host, David and Deidre. We couldn’t have asked for better host and their treatment of their guest was so hospitable. They were so helpful! They made a dinner reservation for us as we were driving in, they took us to the bus stop to go into Oban, they suggested the most wonderful tour guide that treated us royally, and they provided us with wellies so we could go traipsing around the grounds. If you need a true vacation with beauty and peace all around, this is your place! Scotland at it’s best.

Blarcreen is one of the best places we have ever stayed. I feel like not only was the place, the surroundings, the service amazing… you leave feeling you’ve made friends with the hosts and the guests. It’s more of a fabulous experience rather than a stay. The house and rooms are beautiful and feel luxurious, the breakfast was superb, the service was fantastic and the views, the wildlife and the night sky and not forgetting the roaring fire on an evening makes this place. Would go again in a heartbeat.

The Blarcreen house was built in 1820. It is surrounded by farmland. David was a wonderful host and chef. It’s a hidden gem off the beaten path.

We discovered the real-life Secret Garden!

We stayed here for one night on our honeymoon road trip through the highlands, and my husband and I agreed that next time we will stay here so much longer. Blarcreen is absolutely delightful! (Don’t trust your in-vehicle map system to get there!) It is so peaceful, so idyllic and beautiful, the views are spectacular and your hosts are absolutely delightful, helpful, and provided a beautiful breakfast. By far our favorite place we have ever stayed.

Beautiful 200 years old farm in prestine location along a loch. Just heavenly! And (no surprise) the hostess Deirdre is an angel. Very kind and helpful. Breakfast is fantastic. Nice cozy lounge with fireplace and a wide variety of scotch. Lots to see and do in the area. We stayed only two nights. Should have stayed four….

Beautiful surroundings, were doing a gentle cycling holiday, fantastic location for trails around Loch Etive and the fabulous route 78. Room was very tastefully decorated with grand four poster, big room. Large bathroom with good sized bath, I'm 6'2, no shortage of hot water. Couldn't ask for nicer hosts, go there.

The property is 4.5 miles off any main road and needs careful navigating to get there. Satnav takes you to a three way intersection but you are not there yet. If you are coming down a steep hill, take the LEFT fork and continue close to 1 mile and you will see their RED sign on the RHS. If you are coming the other way from Connel at the intersection DO NOT turn Left up the hill but continue straight on and about 1 mile further on will be the house on the RHS. Once you have made it, you will find it is very worthwhile!! A quiet pleasant rural location. The hostess, Diedre, is very pleasant and helpful; rooms a good size and all your needs are catered for. Excellent. For evening meals you will have to make your way back to Connel where there are a number of excellent Pubs or have your meal before you arrive. We had a wonderful two day stay. Tip: give yourself a little extra time to get there. The above instructions should assist.

We (two adults) spent two nights at Blarcreen House and are very happy with our stay. We were greeted and welcomed on arrival, checked in and shown to our room (The Henderson Room). It was a lovely spacious room with a King size 4 poster bed and Ensuite . Wonderful views and a very calming and relaxed atmosphere. Sleeping was fantastic for us both as we found the bed very comfortable. (as well as the silence and darkness of the countryside). Breakfast was fantastic on both mornings of our stay, well prepared, well presented, more than enough and tasted so delicious. (my wife is gluten intolerant and with prior notification during booking, there was a lot more options for her to choose from on the menu. Thank you) Overall a truly fantastic stay with our lovely hosts at Blarcreen House and we shall definitely be back. We highly recommend Blarcreen House it is so worth it.
