    Only thing I can think of is the pothole in the drive but it wasn't an issue for us.

    Beautiful location, tremendous accommodation. Excellent hosts.

    Perfect stay from start to finish. Easy to find thanks to the clear directions, such a lovely property and stunning views. Matt and Sofie made us feel so welcome and gave us so many tips of places to visit and to eat. Very good recommendations. Previous reviews raved about the breakfast and we now know why, all homemade, fresh and delicious, perfect start to each day. We brought our dog with us too and I think she was sad to leave, she even felt at home !!! Cannot wait to go back soon.

    Nothing to dislike

    the hosts greeted us on arrival, showed us to our room, explained the procedure for breakfast along with other information; a table was booked for us to eat that night, as time was getting on. The room was very spacious and immaculately clean, with a large shower and large comfortable bed. Breakfast was excellent. Hosts very knowledgable of the area and keen to share this with you. Views from the dining room were stunning.

    Very little. Minor minor points - instead of just body wash in shower have a combined shower and body wash. Normal TV has terrible reception in bad weather. Honestly just being picky they were lovely, warm, welcoming.

    Location was excellent- don’t stay in Oban. Stay here! Lovely location, great but simple breakfast. Sophie and Matt super super helpful. Went out of their way to help us with often silly requests that we had. Really lovely hosts. Would stay again.

    We stayed for 2 nights at Ceo Mara Croft, it was the first of 4 stays on a Scotland round trip. The surroundings are absolutely stunning, the house and the rooms where beyond perfect. The rooms offer lots of space, the beds are super comfortable, and everytjhing was spotlessly clean. Sofie and Matt have been the most welcoming hosts aou can imagine - super friendly and full of recommendations for activities in the Area. Our first-time impression (we where blown away actually) was topped by the breakfeast next morning - all our wishes where accommodated, the bred was freshly baked - what else shall I say. There is just one downside - we had booked 2 nights only, we wish we could have stayed longer... -> next time. Ceo Mara Croft is a gem, and we will come back for shure. Thanks Sofie and Matt for the great time we had at your place!!

    I feel bad saying there was anything we didn't like, because it really was all perfect, but we did find the bed a bit soft for our backs. It wouldn't stop us coming back though.

    The most beautiful view of Loch Etive and Ben Cruachan from the lounge and our bedroom. Superb breakfast with delicious homemade ingredients. Matt and Sophie were excellent hosts with lots of very useful local information and tips. Highly recommended!

    We really had a great time in this wonderful location. In reality it’s even better than in the pictures. The whole equipment is of the highest quality and perfectly cleaned and the view of the lake and the mountains are stunning. Sofie and Matt are the best hosts we have ever met… they are so pleasant and friendly and perfect organized and had a lot of tips for hikes and restaurants and more… Many many thanks for that.. we really enjoyed it and will come back…

    Location. Very clean rooms and facilities. Comfortable beds. Nice bathrooms. Good breakfasts. A very special shout out to the hosts, Matt and Sofie, for their very welcoming and helpful attitudes. This was by far our favourite place to stay in our time we were travelling throughout the UK. Just a shame we did not find out about this Croft stay earlier.

    Nothing, it was amazing

    Beautiful location overlooking a stunning vista of a loch and ranges. Best breakfast i had in Scotland with home made bread, jam, yogurt and the best smoked salmon I have ever had. You have your own loungeroom and dining table looking out to that stunning view. Bedrooms were well appointed and large. It was nice to go and visit their piglets and goats outside. They provide and fabulous book with a list of itineraries across the days and there is plenty to do. Location is fantastic just nearby to Oban, plenty of castles around to visit without the tourists around. Great drive out to Glen Coe and back. I really couldn't recommend this place more

    Nothing, our stay was exceptional!

    Matt and Sofie were lovely hosts, with great local knowledge. We are a well travelled couple and this was easily the best continental breakfast we've had - homemade yoghurt and bread and fresh fruit salad. Location is beautiful and we loved meeting the croft donkey! We would absolutely stay again and will recommend to our friends and family.

    Ceo Mara Croft is set in the most beautiful location. The first thing you see, when you enter the Croft, is the view from the living area. It is absolutely breathtaking! Sophie and Matt are wonderful hosts and make you feel so welcome. The rooms are all lovely and spotlessly clean. The beds were extremely comfortable and Sophie was kind enough to purchase synthetic pillows for my stay. There are lovely little touches everywhere, from the chocolates, to Sophie’s own freshly cut flowers. The information on the local area was invaluable. Unlike other hosts, Sophie and Matt had prepared their own, very detailed, leaflets and maps, which we used several times, every day. The breakfasts were just delicious! The highlights for us, were Matt’s freshly baked bread, served with Sophie’s homegrown, homemade jams and preserves. We cannot recommend this accommodation highly enough! It is ideally placed, for touring the local area, assuming you can draw yourself away from the stunning view of Loch Etive.

    The b and b sign on the main road could be illuminated and enlarged as is hard in the night considering Google doesnt have the right location.

    We loved the comfort provided. The breakfast spread was amazing. The views from the rooms were scenic giving positive vibes. The toileteries provided were great quality and kind to the skin . Love the location and the country side setting .

    best if a small kitchen or pantry can be added to enable self catering.

    Cozy and tastefully designed. Very new! The owner made an effort to give pleasant surprises to its customers, eg putting in small pouch of lavender in drawer.
