The ultimate secluded Holiday Cottage
Tigh Beg Croft self catering holiday cottage has to be one of the ultimate secluded Highland hideaways - there are no garden fences, only the open land and the sea to keep you in and amused. This classic 'get away from it all' location near Oban in Argyll is set in some fifty acres of informal hill land and shore line giving you some spectacular walking country.
The croft and this part of the coastline were used in the 1968 filming of 'Ring of Bright Water' and more recently in the final scenes of 'Enigma', based on the Robert Harris thriller. We feel very privileged to be able to offer Tigh Beg Croft as a holiday cottage and short break destination to enable our guests to totally unwind and relax. The croft has been recently renovated and completely refurbished to give you all the home comforts you would expect, making a great holiday destination at any time of year.
This special place is quietly situated at the sea entrance to Loch Feochan, with spectacular views down the 'Firth of Lorn', just three miles further down the glen from Lagnakeil lodges and yet only six miles from Oban with all its quality amenities, shops and restaurants.
Access is by a private track road of about one half miles with the final approach over unsurfaced track - perfect for four wheel drive, but not essential! no low profile cars though. You can also access Tigh Beg by sea.
A country pub is situated further up the glen offering fine home cooked food and ales with informal music nights during the season.

November short break
The cottage lived up to our expectations, just what we needed.
A tranquil unspoiled location that allowed us to completely relax and unwind. Hopefully we'll be back!

Stayed for 3 weeks alone in the cottage to calm down - perfect place to do so
a beautiful place to stay! magic! The cottage is not luxuary, but it is clean and has everything you need.
Upon arrival at the gates, a herd of deer greeted us. The cottage, the appointments, the location, the tranquility did not disappoint. As birdwatchers, we enjoyed morning walks with various birdsongs. We would definitely return.
If you like to be isolated and don’t mind a bit of a rough ride on a road/track to access the isolation then this is the place to go. We loved it bringing our kayaks with us to enjoy the water. Fantastic place!

A magic place!
We absolutely loved the place: The view from the bedroom, the excellent kitchen, the most comfortable bathroom, the fireplace! The surrounding is magic: the view from the beach onto the see, the sheep and highland cows in the own garden, the walks through the hills, the forrest, the boat on the mountain! Thank you Gemma and Sandy for the nice welcome. We will visit again!

Beautiful hideaway on the west coast
Lovely location to be away from it all, very peaceful but still close enough to Oban. Such an amazing surprise that the Otter Movie was filmed here! The heated drying rack was a great plus and helped us dry our rain soaked shoes and clothes. The kids loved to fish off the rocky cliffs. We will return - next time for maybe more than one week. We had too much luggage and taking it up the small path on our departure in the rain was no joke Definitely the highlight of our three weeks in Scotland.

Tigh Beg is a gem
What a location!
Truely magical..
The house is really cosy, the beds are comfortable, the shower is good and everything provided for in the kitchen.
But that view!!
Going down to the rocky beach, walking in the direct area...
Only a 20 min. drive from Oban, but we made sure we took enough groceries for a week because we did not want to leave!
We were worned about the road up there, but is not all that bad. We drive a Ford Fiesta and had no problem getting to the cottage. Had fun with putting our luggage in the wheelbarrow :)
Owners are very friendly and respond very quickly to your emails.
Leaving here put a tear to my eyes...

An "away from it all" gem of a cottage
A peaceful well kept secluded cottage which more than lived up to our high expectations. The cottage is clean,warm and well equipped and has a lovely deck which is in the sun most of the day. Due to unprecedented hot dry weather prior to our stay we had to use water sparingly but this did not detract from our enjoyment of the holiday, we were advised beforehand and given the option to rebook or cancel if we wished. The hosts supplied us with bottled water and kept us advised regarding the water situation and answered our queries quickly.
The track down to the cottage is not a problem in an ordinary car if taken slowly. Although the cottage is quite remote it is within a short drive of Oban and we found plenty to see and do in the area.
A wonderful cottage to get away from it all surrounded by beautiful scenery, walks and wildlife. .

Remote could be confused with 'out of the way'
Tigh Beg cottage is unquestionably delightful.
Accessibility is definitely an issue.
The track is pretty rough on most vehicles.
Price is on the high side for size and amenities.
Having a few more basic condiments in kitchen would be good.
Operation of TV remote and DVD player confusing.
It most certainly lends to relaxation and enjoying the beauty of nature

Unser Traum am Meer
Die Schönheit dieses Ortes ist mit Worten nicht zu beschreiben. Das Haus und die Lage ist das Beste, was man sich für einen erholsamen, ruhigen Urlaub wünschen kann, Seele baumeln und Blicke schweifen lassen, die Einsamkeit und die Ruhe mit allen Sinnen genießen. Fernab von allem Trubel, nur der Gesang der Vögel und das "Mäh" der Schafe. Wir sind sehr glücklich, solch ein Paradies gefunden zu haben und freuen uns schon auf übernächstes Jahr, wenn es wieder heißt: "Wir fliegen nach Schottland in unser Traumhaus."

Beautiful place in a remote location
Lovely small cottage with an incredible view. We really enjoyed our stay and hope to come back some day. Be mindful how much stuff you bring as you have to carry it to the house and back.

Getting away from it all
3rd stay and there will be more. The cottage is idyllically placed and I was disappointed to leave on day four as we didn't bring enough milk so had to go to the outside world. Wild life all around and the only alarm call was a lamb calling for it's mother at 5am one day. Buzzards nest on the ridge above us. Had a great meal at EE-USK when ventured into Oban for the day for a sea safari but if I was lucky enough to not move for the whole week I wouldn't object. Relaxed before I'd unpacked and refreshed by the time we left. I don't want to recommend it because you might take a week that I want, but if you go you won't regret it. Road has a couple of rough points so a lowrider will ground but you don't need an SUV. 5* isn't enough for this location.

Fabulous cottage & location but access appalling
Beautiful cottage and a great location with local wildlife on the doorstep. Clean and well maintained with everything you need. Unfortunately due to the appalling condition of the access road won’t be visiting again which is such a shame but probably the worst and most dangerous access we’ve travelled on.

Perfect
Amazing location, stunning views, solitude broken only by sheep and utter peace around. Great weather, and we even managed to swim a little. Very special place.
Highly recommend if looking for quiet.

Our stay at Tigh Beg Croft
It is a wonderful and magical place.
Our family was very happy there with fishing, snorkeling and scuba-diving!
Lots to do without leaving at all !
We have visited for the second time and we will be back !
(Just one, very trivial, sorry, thing: Some more dishwasher tablets would be nice.)
All the best and thanks for looking after this fairy-tale place !! Claudia and family
