About this property
This lovely property is ideally located for a family holiday exploring this beautiful part of Scotland.. Perched on the edge of the crystal clear waters of Loch Etive, this luxury upper conversion enjoys breathtaking panoramic views towards the Falls of Lora, Mull and Morven. With the bustling fishing port of Oban close by, this property provides an ideal base from which to explore this beautiful part of the Northern Highlands and islands.
From the seaside town of Oban visit the Isle of Mull, just a short ferry trip away. Mull’s capital, Tobermory, is instantly recognisable by its famous brightly painted buildings. The island has a fascinating history, once being home to the chief of Clan MacLean, and the site of the clan’s ancient Duart Castle, which has spectacular views from its battlements.
Further south along the coast are the unspoilt glens and bays of Mid Argyll and Kintyre, and the islands of Islay and Jura which are reachable by ferry. Visit the whitewashed houses of Inveraray and the turreted Inveraray Castle, once home to the Duke of Argyll. Campbeltown in Kintyre has some lovely beaches nearby.
The captivating Isle of Bute lies at the heart of the Firth of Clyde. It is a place of tranquil relaxation with sheltered coves and sandy bays, ideal for leisurely hiking and easy-going cycling. Take in the grandeur of Rothesay Castle or Mount Stuart House and Gardens, where the Marquess of Bute once lived. You can also take a ferry to visit the beautiful islands of Iona, Staffa and the Treshnish Isles.

A beautiful location overlooking a splendid seascape. Sitting on the balcony in the evening watching otters on several occasions. It was our second visit and, if we can face the very long journey, no doubt we will stay again.

Otters View is a splendid building set in a beautiful location on the shores of Loch Etive, giving amazing views, sunsets and seabirds. I was lucky enough to watch, from the picture windows, otters swimming and diving in the water below.The apartment itself is outstanding. The Welcome Pack of food, wine and flowers was very generous. Overall the provisions made it feel like a home from home. Little extras, like binoculars, were so very thoughtful. I met Letitia on arrival and she was so friendly.I have already recommended Otters View to family and friends and hope to return soon myself.
