Customer Reviews of Gabran, Lochgilphead - Sleeps 2-3
1st comment: Excellent cottage with beautiful scenery all around especially if you climb to the top of Dunard Fort. The cottage was very clean and had everything you would need a real home from home. Plenty of places to visit. A walk down Crinan Canal is a must, seeing all the boats going through the locks. We would definitely stay there again. April 2012.
2nd comment: Beautiful cottage. Nov 2011.
3rd comment: Gabran is in a stunning location with extremely high standard of fittings, and everything you could need in self catering accommodation. It is ideal for a get away from it all vacation with many historical sites to visit in the area. July 2011.
4th comment: For a two roomed small barn conversion, this cottage is surprisingly spacious, lots of storage space. For us and our young child it was a very pleasant surprise just how nice it was. Our son thoroughly enjoyed being next to the historic fort location, the wide open space around is good for the soul. The owners were friendly but not intrusive, and invited our son to feed the lambs, which he was very excited about! So much to do on a bike and in a canoe - we’ll be back! April 2011.
