Autumn Breaks

The season is flying by and it is already September. Demand has not dropped and we are as busy now as we have been in peak summer. October school week is filling fast (by the time this is posted it may be full) and we have several lodges booked for Christmas and Hogmanay.   To help our guests continue to book with confidence over the winter we have now introduced a flexible cancellation policy and our terms and conditions have been updated. To counter the added costs of constantly...

Summer Sunshine

We are half-way through August and the Scottish schools have now gone back full time! Cologin has been busy this summer and the introduction of quarantine for some popular summer sun destinations abroad has boosted the domestic staycation market. Unfortunately we had to cancel all our Dutch and French guests, but demand has been so strong that re-selling has been immediate and it's been tempting to sell some of our fallowed dates. Getting the balance right between health and wealth is critical and we'll stick to our policy...

Covid-Confident Certificate

We're delighted that the AA has now approved Cologin's Covid-19 enhanced cleaning and sanitisation protocols and listed us on their Rated Trips website. The extra effort we are making to ensure that our staff, customers and family remain safe this season will be worth it if we can keep Covid out of Cologin. We do ask that our guests also take responsibility for their own health and hygiene and we encourage frequent hand washing and social distancing from others on site and in the Barn Bar. Oban has also...

The Barn’s Back in Business – now open daily

The Barn Bar closed way back in March following Scottish government guidelines and reopened to the public on 16th July. Not surprisingly there were plenty of locals in the first night - testing the new one way system and getting used to Covid 19 changes. Thankfully some things have not changed. There’s craft ale in the taps and good home cooked food on offer at affordable prices.  Despite the masks and visors there’s still the same friendly welcome from the staff so please come along and give...

We’re OFFICIALLY Good to Go!

We are delighted to announce that we've acquired the 'Good to Go' UK wide Industry Standard mark for Cologin. This means that our business has followed government and industry COVID-19 guidelines, has a Risk Assessment in place and a process to maintain cleanliness and aid social distancing. This week we also learnt that self-catering properties could re-open to holiday makers from 3rd July which will coincide with the local travel restrictions lifting in Scotland. Allowing visitors from beyond a 5 mile radius will certainly bring more guests to...

Scandinavian Hot Tub – Cologin Farmhouse

We have been so focused on dealing with Covid 19 that we've forgotten to share some of our good news stories from Cologin! Well at long last Cologin Farmhouse now has new additional decking to house a beautiful Scandinavian wood-fired hot tub. Shipped from Sweden this big wooden outdoor tub holds a lot of water. It does take quite a while to get up to temperature so best combined with a BBQ on the terrace whilst you wait. You can book the optional extra of it being filled...

Festive and Hogmanay Bookings – ho ho ho!

If you have not yet booked your festive break then don't delay. The Barn Bar will open up its table bookings to non residents at the end of October and we can't guarantee dinner without a reservation! Those regulars who have already reserved their 'usual' properties will have already received a copy of the Barn's Hogmanay menu. For those who have not made up their minds - here it is. And don't forget we've live music from 9pm and a late license - with our usual pause for...
