Sunnybrae is a small caravan site beside the waters edge with beautiful views out to sea. We stayed in a 4 berth caravan with a double and twin bedroom, the beds while narrow were extremely comfortable. The caravan was spotless and well equipped with cooking utensils, plates and cutlery, and a range of drinking glasses. Mike (the owner) gave us the option of bringing our own towels and pillows, which we did, but they were also available on the campsite. The caravan didn’t have a washing machine or tumble dryer, but both were available on site for a nominal fee, and the caravan had a small clothes airer which could be hung from a window to dry towels and swimming costumes. There is no wifi on the site, so if you’re taking children download plenty of their favourite films and programmes onto their tablets or iPads. My phone had fairly good 3-4g reception, so I used it as a personal hotspot for my iPads wifi, and was able to stream some films for the grandkids, and to keep up with the news and football. For alternative entertainment there is a good selection of DVD’s you can borrow and watch, £5 for the week, and you can also hire bikes for travel around the Isle. There is a fairly well stocked local shop on the Isle of Luing, and you can pre-order freshly baked bread on Tuesdays and Fridays. There is also a visitors centre which was open Wednesday-Sunday on the week we were there, and as well as having a small local artists gift selection, you can learn the Isles history and purchase good food and drinks. Everyone we met on the Isle was friendly and helpful. The Isle is reached by a small car ferry, and you pay for the car and per passenger, so it’s more economical to purchase a multi trip return ticket, rather than individual crossings. We took our two grandchildren with us, aged 6 and 13 (both of whom love their phones and tablets) and we had a ball, swimming in the sea, walking, spotting wildlife, playing games and cooking together. You can take up to two dogs, and next time we go we’ll definitely bring ours as they are welcome on the campsite and all over the island.

We stayed at Sunnybrae over the New Year for 4 days in 3 caravans and the Orchid Lodge The lodge we stayed in was excellent very clean and wanted for nothing, the beds were excellent also . The gas central heating was set on timer and the place was always warm and cosy Our friends stayed in 3 of the caravans which were all excellent, modern and of high standards ! The location is breathtaking just on the waters edge looking out to sea and mountains. Owner very friendly and great information provided on booking and travel instructions . Lots of lovely walks on the Island and of course cycle hire if you want it onsite. The Atlantic Centre is nearby and is well worth a visit for some lunch or a coffee and sit and look out over the views. Any down sides ? Yes we had to leave and head home...

If you want a really pleasant break from the hustle and bustle of life, look no further. This is a small, well tended and maintained caravan site with just 6 modern Willerby caravans and two lodges, all positioned so that each has an unobstructed view of Cuan Sound. Everything is provided to make your self catering stay as comfortable as possible. Cooker/Microwave/Fridge with small freezer compartment/TV with Freesat and DVD player. There is a vast array of DVDs available to choose from should you need to stay at 'base camp' for whatever reason. There are also washing and drying facilities on site. There is little traffic on the island, hence all roads are single track with passing places. There is an abundance of wildlife, including seals, otters, seabirds, pheasants, partridges, finches and thrushes. Cattle and sheep also roam loose (so keep the gates closed!!!) Waking up to nothing but the sound of birdsong is my idea of heaven. There is one shop cum Post Office up the road in Cullipool and a Visitor Centre also which serves meals at certain times on certain days.. There is no Pub on the island so bring your favourite tipples with you! Sit out on the picnic bench by your caravan and enjoy the peace and quiet whilst watching the odd yacht sail by. Mike and Jenn have created this fantastic little oasis of tranquillity which I'm sure most guests would want to return to.

Excellent location if you are looking for peace and quiet. Sunnybrae is located near to the ferry. We rented a caravan at the waters edge. The site is quite small but there are a mixture of caravans and lodges. The owners are perfect hosts and the accommodation is very clean with full services. Luing Island is quite small but there is a post office / shop which is generally open most days between 11am and 4pm. The ferry trip is quite short and Oban is on about 15 miles away. There are several walks on the island and and the Atlantic Centre in Cullipool has a gift shop and cafe. Sunnybrae is perfect for a relaxing holiday.

This is a lovely peaceful place with a small number of well placed caravans close to the sea. The caravans are well equipped and spotless. If you enjoy watching the sea seals, and birds on a small quiet island this is The place for you. The old slate industry of the island is very interesting to those interested in geology and the evidence shall around.

We stayed here 2 years ago for New Year in Osprey lodge with other friends in the caravans, we enjoyed it so much we booked again for the following year .. this was Sadly cancelled due to the pandemic. Mike held our booking and was very flexible and let us carry it over to following year. We stayed in Gunnera lodge this time and it didn’t disappoint, everything provided and lovely and warm inside while the rain and wind blew outside we didn’t feel a thing . This is a lovely quiet place you can watch the ever changing scenery from the window, read a book , watch TV or walk. We hope to return again in the summer. Thanks again Mike.

We had a fabulous day exploring the stunning island of Luing with bikes hired from Sunnybrae. Mike was very helpful and friendly from when we first contacted him to book, through to returning the superb bikes at the end of a day of fun, beautiful scenery and a warm welcome in the post office shop. We would really recommend a visit!

Sunnybrae is situated right on the waters edge with amazing views out to sea. The caravan was spotless and well equipped . I'm no walker but the hills around the site are an easy climb and the views are stunning. If you want to escape the rat race for a while this is the place to be!

We traveled nearly 600 miles to be greeted by Dolphins and the friendly owners on our arrival. This place is just beautiful, all you can hear are the birds, seals, water and the ferry. The accommodation has all you need to enjoy a peaceful break away. The ferry is quick and easy so do not be put off by this. We were also lucky to have great weather.

We had a fantastic 5 night stay in Orchid lodge. It was very clean with everything you need for a self catering holiday. Very comfortable with excellent views of Cuan Sound whatever the weather. We were lucky enough to see seals, otters and a porpoise during our stay We were very lucky with the weather only the last day we had rain. The new owners were really friendly, helpful and couldn't do enough for us. We visited the Atlantic centre a couple of times, the owners and staff were all very friendly We will definitely be back for longer next time. Thank you all at Sunnybrae.
