Deidra, David and their son were some of the nicest most hospitable people I’ve ever met. I can’t remember ever having a more peaceful comfortable stay anywhere. Breakfast and dinner were amazing, the company and surroundings fantastic!!
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….
This is the best B&B you can imagine. Beautiful landscapes, wonderful food, and warm, inviting hosts that make you feel like family. We will definitely be staying here again!
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.

Beautiful house in a spectacular valley accommodation and breakfast first class will visit again
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.
A very old house in an idealistic setting. Hostess very congenial and out to make your stay comfortable. The house is down a narrow road that requires that you must take your time initially.
In a nice spot but a bit off the beaten track.
Well kept property but not very close to any places to eat out and meals are not offered at the property apart from included breakfast.
I was not informed of breakfast time on checking in so did not have a full breakfast on my first morning as I had an early start that day . I was told I should of read the information sheet in the room 😠
We loved staying in the Highlands at Blarcreen House. Far off the beaten track in a quiet lush setting, it was the perfect way to end each day of hiking and exploring the area near Glencoe and Oban. Sian was an excellent host, serving a delicious breakfast each morning. Her advice on where to go in the area were always the highlights of our days. The bed was comfy, the decor beautiful.
