A lovely spot. Well equipped kitchen with treats. Beds were comfortable. Location was good. A good spot if you have children or pets. Note that 2 bedrooms and the single bathroom are up a full flight of stairs. The main bedroom is on the main floor. There are baby gates available, jut note the stairs if you have mobility challenges or youngsters sleeping on a different floor. Great communication and assistance from the host. We would highly recommend and we would return.

Convenience to oban

We used this place for day trip to Mull and Oban, so convenient. Cooked dinner one night for a quiet one after hitting the store. Used the outdoor grill and indoor stove worked great.Plan on long wash times if you use the washer - much longer than run times on US washer..

Lovely wee family weekend

A fantastic house in a great location on the west coast. We were blessed with stunning weather for our two nights and there's some really nice wee beaches not far from the house at all. Nice and close to Oban as well for all the shops you need. Great communication from the hosts as well who made sure we had everything we needed. Can't recommend enough!

Lovely Stay in Dunbeg

The house was clean and roomy. We had plenty of room to lounge around when we were not out and about. It's for sure a drive into Oban, but there is a Bus Stop right outside your door so not a problem to get into town. Property is quite got a good night sleep every night. Fun to be located in a neighbor hood.

Fantastic Accomodation in a lovely area of Oban

The property is situated a 10 minute drive from the town centre so is well located for any sightseeing that you want to do. The home itself is very spacious, has lots of storage, very comfy beds and cosy lounge room and a large enclosed back yard which was lovely to sit out in and enjoy a drink and our family members two small dogs had a wonderful time exploring in it. Hosts communicated with us well prior to and during our stay to ensure that we had everything that we needed. A lovely touch was the complimentary Oban chocolate and a selection of Oban Whisky that we could help ourselves to and enjoy a wee dram! Highly recommend this place and hope to visit again one day. Thank you John & Nicole for your wonderful hospitality.

Lots of special touches

This house was very comfortable for our party of four adults and two kids. The bedding and pillows were really comfortable and high quality which was a treat. It’s located about a three minute drive from Oban town centre and about a five minute drive to a Tesco, Aldi and M&S Food Hall which was really convenient. The property itself is quite attractively decorated and it’s clear the hosts are very proud of where they come from. They also have an excellent system in place to provide information about the property and check in. We had North American cell phones which did not cooperate with texting so we had a hiccup at check in but John and Nicole were very responsive by email through VRBO and we got it sorted out quickly. Would not hesitate to recommend staying here. Very comfortable stay.
