Beachfront holiday rentals in Oban

Karen's cottage was a great base from which to explore Kintyre. She went above and beyond to assist us. The welcome treats were much appreciated. Thank you, Karen

We had a great time here. This was a birthday surprise for my cousin 70th birthday who has problems with mobility. Wendy communicated with me putting flowers, banners and a balloon to surprise her which was great. It was easy for my cousin to get around the property and the garden. Definitely would come back. Beautiful property in a stunning setting.

The promise of the view was fabulous and we were not disappointed. If you are looking for a peaceful and secluded place, this is the place. It is not perfectly placed if you are looking for tourist places to visit but the place is enough for itself for a few nights and it is perfect for relaxing and enjoying the calm. The bedrooms and living rooms are very beautiful and well decorated. Thank you for providing a beautiful home like this.

Our family had an amazing week here! We travelled with my parents and young child as well as a dog. The view over the loch is sensational and the Airbnb has everything we needed. John is a very kind and responsive host - couldn’t do enough for us. It’s remote and private with a pub nearby and another pizza restaurant open Thursday to Sunday nights. We were also very lucky with the weather which meant the most sensational views. Good base for exploring too as we were able to go to Inverary, Carrick Castle, Arkinglas House, Loch Fyne Oyster Bar and rent a boat on loch goil.

Absolutely Wonderful Perfect Property in an ideal location. Host was very accommodating and a pleasure to deal with No hesitation in recommending or re-booking.

We wanted to try somewhere different to our usual, that was within our budget, that is dog friendly and Ian’s place stood out by far. This converted church is tucked away between two properties, which we never knew existed! It has a beautiful driveway leading up to the property. The church is shared with a lovely elderly couple (who share the same entrance, but have their own front door to their side of the church) who visit every so often and maintain the grounds. The church has some of the original features which is nice to see and the original stained glass windows. The ground floor master bedroom is a reasonable size and the bed is absolutely comfy! The kitchen is very reasonable sized for both of us. The best feature is the glass conservatory which is a nice place to relax, have a few drinks and watch the wildlife, the birds nest & firth of Clyde. The upstairs is nice and relaxed with two single beds & amazing view of the stars & sunset/rise. Highly recommended!

The house and garden were absolutely perfect for our visit. Donny and Alison were so friendly and along with Flossie and Tess they made our stay an absolute pleasure. We will definitely return.

I have just spent a lovely week in North Studio - the weather wasn't the best but the Ardnamurchan peninsula is spectacular and Salen is ideally placed to explore all over the area; it's easy to get the ferry to Mull as well. A short walk from the studio is the Salen jetty shop, a must for essentials like bread, milk and indeed anything else you need. The studio is well equipped and cosy, and the bed was particularly comfortable. The views from the little patio over Loch Sunart are glorious....overall, it's a super location, well recommended!

Lovely place to stay, lot of effort to keep the place clean and tidy and very animal friendly. Arrived to two goodie bags for the dogs as well . Will definitely be back to stay again. Thank you

This garden cottage was straight out of a romantic fairytale! The gorgeous garden surrounding the cottage and the view of the water and misty rolling hills framed perfectly by a stone wall and ivy were just breathtaking (especially while sitting in the wood fire heated hot tub). The cottage itself was incredibly cozy. We had nearly gotten stranded on Islay with car issues and we weren’t even sure we’d get to enjoy this stop on our holiday. By the time we arrived, we were completely exhausted from the chaos of the previous 24 hours so this relaxing and welcoming space was exactly what we needed to decompress. ☺️ The cottage was well equipped and very clean! We had everything we needed and then some. Caroline was an exceptional host. She was remarkably responsive and lovely to interact with both prior to our stay (when we weren’t sure we’d be able to make it) and during our stay! Anyone with the opportunity to stay here, should absolutely do it! Thank you for everything, Caroline!!

Perfect and quiet

The park itself is a 1 way system and the caravan was quite high up. However we stopped to speak to groundsmen on site who straight away said follow me I’ll take you to the caravan. All staff were lovely. The caravan was as described. Very homely and modern. The outdoor space is amazing with lovely rattan furniture and hot tub. We used the hot tub everyday and it’s big enough for 6 people. The weather unfortunately wasn’t on our side all week so we didn’t dine outside. However I would definitely return. We had a slight issue with heating the first night. Lisa was back and forth messaging and said she would contact staff at reception to rectify the next day. However this was sorted over text in the end. An amazing stay, great views across the water. It was beautiful x

There was nothing i didn‘t like

Great stay and great value for money,👍🏻

We’ve just spent 10 wonderful days in this gorgeous cottage overlooking Loch Fyne. The area is stunning with so much to offer we can’t wait to come back. There just wasn’t time to try out all the seafood places in the area! The cottage is really well equipped with everything you could possibly want. Amanda’s helpful information and recommendations were brilliant. She told us in advance about the unexpected building going on nearby but it was not a problem at all as we were out mainly during the day anyway. All in all it was one of the very best holidays we’ve had in Scotland - and we’ve had quite a few! And all that in spite of the car breaking down on our last day and the AA, the builders and Amanda all coming to our rescue!! Thanks for everything Amanda. We’ll be back!!

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.

Loved 12 North Crescent. Amazing views, lots of room, and amazing hosts who are very responsive, great at communication. House has everything we needed for a family of 5 for a week.

a great place to stay, good location to explore fort William and western shores. Clickety Clack Cottage had everything you needed for a very comfortable stay. Fantastic views of loch eil, brooding Ben Nevis and Jacobite express as it passes by. Would highly recommend, Catriona very thoughtful and responsive host

I spent an enjoyable week at the Old Smithy. The place was clean and the bed was very comfortable. As others have stated before, the road is noisy but ear plugs supplied will help if you're not used to that, personally I live by a main road so was expecting it. Caution is required when leaving by car as it is a very fast road. Overall a very nice stay and Stanley was very friendly.

Joanna is a great hostess, her place is very peaceful and serine. Amazing nature and a lot to do in the area.... wish I had stayed longer.

We loved Sharyn's place, very near Fort William with gorgeous views of the Loch and mountains. So peaceful sitting in the lounge as the sun sets in front of us. Loved everything about it. Would recommend if you have a car at your disposal.

We loved our stay in Anns little cozy pod. The view from the porch and the hottub is amazing. Anns place is located about 10 minutes by car or 20 minutes by foot from the town centre, and right on the circular walk of Mallaig (and there are also hikes further into up into the highlands reachable by foot from her place). Ann was an absolutely sweet, caring and responsive host! Would definitely recommend.
