The rates are as follows: "The charge per person, per night for B&B is £40.00, based on minimum of two sharing a room (£70 single occupancy)."
There are also three cottages on the grounds: Coachman (accommodating 6), Lovett (4) and Crawford (2).
And Lunga also has a cottage in the village that accommodates 6.
Attendees may may extend their stay to include Tuesday onward and after the event until Wednesday.

OTHER OPTIONS
Loch Shuna Lodges Jane and Falcon Scott's self-catering lodges, appropriately named Terra Nova, Discovery and Morning. They are located on Eilean Buidhe, a small island connected to the mainland by a causeway and a short walk or drive from the center of Craobh Haven and Lunga House.
The lodges rent from Saturday-to-Saturday or Tuesday-to-Tuesday for week-long stays or from Saturday-to-Tuesday and Tuesday-to-Saturday for half-week stays. (The Tuesday-to-Tuesday option would be best for attendees.)
