Us and the two kids had two nights in the Lochawe camping pods. The small site was quiet and the pods had great views over the loch. The pods themselves were clean and very good for a couple of nights. The facilities were fairly basic but good enough. Close by was the Dalavich social club - very good facilities with a couple of pool tables, air hockey and table tennis - so the kids had fun. Also, the bar was friendly. Finally, a couple of minutes walk was the café, which did an excellent cooked breakfast.

What a lovely location with some lovely walks in the area. The pod was bigger than expected and perfect. We had breakfast each morning at the local café and wow, they were amazing! The café also has a little shop attached with everything you could possibly need for your stay. We didn't go in the social club for a drink, but it did look nice from the outside with a nice decking area with views of the loch. Would definitely recommend to others.
