    Recently been up to Bunree near Fort William in the motorhome for a week...stunning scenery. Oban really nice as well.
    Was going to go away somewhere on saturday for a week, but missus not well, and expecting imminent hospital appointments, so decided best to stay at home.

    Off up to Malaig and Skye in September, stopping off at Fort William too.
    Will be in Oban next May as we head off to the Outer Hebrides, we love western Scotland and try and get there once a year.

    Aye, nice site. We had booked a week on a "pitch without awning", which means a lochside pitch. First night was in the second row back, then moved to lochside on second day. Superb views, but a bit breezy....further back was more sheltered.

    We were a bit worried about them, but there wasn't any any.....too breezy I think!!
    Bought citronella candles, cream, spray....never used any of it.

    We had a great holiday, beautiful weather, beautiful beaches and scenery and nice people. Only thing that lets Lara Beach down is there are no bars and very few restaurants. The hotel was fantastic couldnt fault it. You will love it mate, you must be on the same flight times as us, we flew with TUI on the 17.15 flight, I think Jet2 fly out the same day as well.

    We are flying with a Turkish airline called 'Corrindin' or something like that I think. About 2pm ish. We went for a little walk a few times out the back of the Titanic and there were a few shops and an indoor shopping mall but not loads of restaurants as you say.

    Enjoy it mate, there isnt a better feeling in the world than being sat at that airport with the wife and kids with a beer. Thats a good flight time mind, we didnt get to our hotel till almost midnight and we were all shattered, you should catch your evening meal and a few beers at the hotel.
