Lovely hosts and beautiful location high on the hill. Thoughtful welcome pack left for us and we had a great week. We had 2 kids with asthma with us and the back 2 bedrooms smell strongly of damp so we had to put them in the front room. We also had to run to Tesco for pillows as the feather pillows were triggering their asthma. Otherwise, a great week in a beautiful town.

Lovely cottage with great views over the town and next to the viewpoint. Oban has great food and drink options, boat trips and plenty of shops. Downside (for us) was the climb back up the hill which is very steep. We used the taxis which are plentiful from the rank near the station. All in all a very good base from which to explore.

Lovely place, just what we expected, as part of our three weeks touring the western islands of Scotland, being next to the view point was a bonus, overlooks Oban, great would go back
