Victorian Oban flat with sea view & garden terrace
We spent an Amazing 4 nights at the accommodation. Anuschka is is first class host and very kindly messaged asking our preferences on the type of bread milk and spreads we prefer which was much appreciated along with the lovely fruit bowl left on dining table. The accommodation is a real gem its very spacious with lovely views over the bay. We had great weather and and enjoyed alfresco dining relaxing in the beautiful gardens with wonderful views watching the island ferries coming and going. Definitely great value and would highly recommend.

Modern house at a stone's throw from the sea.
Six fabulous nights stay at Kilbowie Shores. Beautiful house in amazing location. Everything you need for a comfortable stay. Extra special treat with 3 Otters playing in the bay while we had breakfast. Great location for visiting Islands, we managed 8 during our stay.

Seal Cabin - A wee piece of Scottish Luxury
We had a brilliant 4 night stay at Seal Cabin with our dog - so peaceful, cosy and had everything we could possibly wish for. We loved waking up to the views of the beautiful loch everyday (and seal watching!) and it was a perfect location for walking in the local area and driving to visit other areas. Iain and his family were really friendly and gave us some great recommendations around the area. Would highly recommend a stay at Seal Cabin!

THE WEE BIT ON THE SIDE --FREE PARKING-- 1 BEDROOM
We were extremely happy with Annie's place- very clean and tastefully decorated. The bed and bedding made for a very comfy sleep. The kitchen was well stocked and having extras like milk and coffee available was so handy. The bathroom and shower were great. Having a spot for parking was important and although we could have driven into town, the location was close enough that we were able to walk everywhere.We highly recommend.

Craiglora Cottage, Connel, Oban, Argyll
We really enjoyed our stay. Everything in the cottage was comfortable -especially the bed and linens and generous sofa - and the kitchen was brilliant - lattes with breakfast. Bathroom and shower were luxurious and spacious with toasty underfloor heating and fluffy generous towels. The view of the falls of Lora and the mountains was stunning and endlessly fascinating. A lovely break in a gorgeous area.

Cherrybrae Cottage
Wow….we loved it! Obviously the squirrels! Highlight! The bed was so comfortable and the view was amazing. The guest book was a great read with all the different recommendations. Absolutely loved it…..we would be back in a heart beat! Great hosts

Beautiful spacious apartment in town centre

The Studio, Easdale Island
Jackie goes above and beyond, everything is catered for, house was so clean, couldn’t have had better hosts. See you again Jackie, for sure x

Oban Panoramic Victorian Style Apartment
Fantastic flat. Beautiful outlook, could sit and look out the bay window all day. Very convenient and I was able to challenge myself with attacking the ladder at least once a day. Thanks for sharing your lovely flat and town.

Springlea Oban
Tricia’s place is nicely located close to supermarkets and short walk to the Oban city centre. The apartment was clean, smells fresh, nicely decorated and with small welcoming touches. Tricia is a great host and super responsive! Instructions to get the apartment keys are clear and easy to locate.

Boutique Cottage for Two in Argyll
It’s even more charming and peaceful than the pictures suggest. I loved every second in this cottage. The veranda had a pretty view over the landscape and the little garden area. You could hear the creek in the backyard and the birds sing. I LOVED the stone floor in the kitchen and bathroom area and the wooden flooring in the rest of the place. The bedroom and kitchen has high ceiling and skylights that leave room to breath (and think). And god, I loved the bathroom with the windows - taking a bath there is just as if you were in the middle of nature. The whole place is tastefully furnished and there is no clutter. Personally loved the kitchen (even the knifes were sharpened!). There are a few walking routes around the area and a village store nearby (although we went to a coop in Inverary that had everything we needed). Ross also helped out when we had a question and was super responsive — thanks again for this wonderful little oasis. I’ll certainly come back one day.

Horseshoe Bay Chalet with fantastic sea views
A beautiful chalet in the most beautiful setting. Perfect if you want to retreat for a wee while and maybe hike or cycle on the island which is stunning. you can also dip in the bay outside the cottage. Thank you for a beautiful stay. Will return for sure! 😍

Luxury town centre apartment - stunning sea views
This apartment had amazing views of the harbor and was very close to shopping, many restaurants and the ferry pier. Robert met us at the flat to show us around and make sure we had all we needed. This flat had lots of space and lots of amenities, we wish our stay here could have been longer! I will be recommending this flat to other friends and we would definitely stay here again if we come back to Oban. Thanks Robert!

The Boat House, Sonas with woodstove & loch views.
Driving down a slightly scary but exciting single track road to an amazing location. beautiful scenery and views, met George at their driveway and shown to the cabin. it's even better than the pictures! George was very warm and informative about the area. The walk to the "secret" beach past the highland cows was a highlight! next time we'll take a BBQ if the weather allows. Oban was great and McCaigs tower was a nice part of history to visit. we'll definitely be back, making more time and prepared for enjoying the beach and the loch right outside the door! 5 star stay.

2 Westbay, Seafront Location, Free Parking
My friends and I stayed here for 6 nights. It was the perfect spot for our time in Oban! Beautiful views, fully equipped with everything we needed, such a comfortable home! Amazing water pressure in the shower. Walkable to restaurants, shopping, ferry and train station. There was even a rack to dry our clothes. We would absolutely stay here again. My only warning which has been mentioned by others is that the parking spot is impossible to get in or out of once neighbors are parked next to you. Save yourself the hassle and park in the free overnight lot next door. Other minor note is the wifi info we received in the instructions was incorrect, but quickly resolved as we found the correct info on the router.

Craigneuk near Oban, stunning home with sea views
David's place was our favourite during this one week holiday in Scotland. The location is amazing and seeing the water from the livingroom and bedroom windows was wonderful. However, what made it stand apart from other accommodations was the interior design: every single space inside the house is tasteful and cosy, and we felt at home from the moment we walked in. Everything was clean and the quality of towels, soaps and shower gels are five star hotel level. David and Amanda are great hosts, very friendly and thoughtful, and it is evident that the comfort of their guests is their priority - also, we were delighted to meet them in person. We were sorry to leave after only one day there and will be happy to go back when next in Scotland.
