A wonderful stay at Seal Point Cabin
October 2024 - 5/5 Upfront Reviews

My sister and I stayed at Seal Point Cabin las week. We had chosen to stay around Loch Fyne to revisit places we had stayed on holiday as children 40 years ago. The location was just PERFECTION! Idyllic and peaceful and beyond our expectations.

Louisa's hospitality when we arrived was incredibly warm and friendly. She gave us a rundown of things inside the cabin/how everything worked etc and had provided recommendations on places to eat nearby. The cabin itself was so cute and cosy. We really looked forward to coming back to it each night after a day of exploring. All the home comforts you could need are inside whilst outside there is a firepit where we toasted marshmallows. The cabin is situated right on the loch so of course a dip in the saltwater was a must do activity.

We will absolutely come back to Seal Point - its a little piece of heaven and we had the best holiday because of it. Huge thanks to Louisa :)

 
Fabulous and relaxing stay in a beautiful cabin within a fantastic setting.

Thank you Louisa for the lovely welcome. Managed to see 2 seals at Rubha No on the way along the loch to Cairndow! However, be aware you can't get along at high tide as the path goes onto the beach. Lovely, comfy bed which made a welcome change from our previous stop in the Lake District! Had a look around Inveraray Castle and grounds which was interesting. Even managed to see a red squirrel.

Truly beautiful! We've loved every moment of our stay. Louisa is a wonderful host, so helpful and kind - we really appreciated the extra few hours to explore on the last day. Highlights have included lovely walks, loch side to Cairndow from Seal Point, wandering around Inverarary Castle, a visit to The George pub and fish and chips by the loch. We didnt see a seal, but you can't have it all!
We'll definitely be back - thanks so much for a stay we'll remember forever. Lots of love xxxxx

What a superb & magical few days we have had. Seal Cabin lodge is so cozy @ comfortable and we loved being right by the beautiful loch admiring the gorgeous views. So calming & relaxing. We went to visit Loch Eck & went walking to Pucks Glen through the spectacular woodlands & beautiful waterfalls running throughout. “Louisa our host has been fabulous, so friendly, so welcoming & so easy to communicate with. Thank you so much for a lovely stay.”

Such a beautiful and cozy cabin. Seal Point has been absolutely wonderful to stay in, from the lovely walks that are around to the cozy fire and a hot chocolate with a movie at night. We are more than delighted to say this was one of our best get away weekends. The host was so unbelievably sweet and helpful, we definitely will be back as it was so wonderful, thank you so much Louisa for a beautiful stay. You are amazing!

An absolutely stunning base over Christmas enabling me to see friends all over the Highlands including “Russ walks the Uzk anticlickwise” who’s walking for SSAFA, the Armed Forces Charity. Great hospitality from Louisa and family and I will certainly look to return here. Thank you for giving me a memorable base for Christmas.

What an incredible part of the world and a cozy, peaceful place to enjoy it. Big thanks to Louisa and family for hosting us! Great recommendations from cozy pub : The George, to our epic walk up The Cobbler on a freezing but perfectly clear day - inspiring and definitely worth the effort of a sweaty hike if only to enjoy a drink in the pub at the end! : ) Thank you!!

Simply thanks! It was a great relaxing stay and we really needed to unwind. Seal Point Cabin is a great place with everything you need. Perfect weather + fabulous hill walks - we recommend Ben Donich and The Cobbler. The area has a lot to offer. Try Fyne Fish & Chip Shop Inveraray - has been great for ages!

We arrived at night and Louisa gave great directions to the cabin. We had a lovely greeting and felt instantly welcome. A great start to our two night stay. The cabin is truly amazing and a lovely escape for a break. Louisa was a fantastic host and during our time we went on lovely walks around Inveraray and ate at the delicious Samphire Seafood restaurant. We can’t wait to return again to this peaceful gem. Thanks for a lovely stay!
