Seaside Home with Stunning Views
Kevin's apartment was absolutely fabulous. 4 of us (2 couples) were very comfortable there and really pleased with pretty much everything about it!! The apartment was clean, spacious, comfortable and has brilliant views of Spey Bay and Lossiemouth East Beach. The listing details are very accurate and pretty much anything we needed was available in the apartment. Good restaurants were in easy walking distance and there was ample parking for our cars at the apartment. Kevin was very helpful regarding check in and apartment access and was very responsive to any questions we had. We would recommend this place to anyone looking for a comfortable, central, stay on the Moray Coast - and hope to come back again in future!!

Harbour Hideaway
This was a second visit to Oban, albeit planned with less than 12 hours notice. Elizabeth replied back IMMEDIATELY and we are so fortunate to have found this gem. After a very ill timed, wet and cold, boat ride to the islands…the flat was a wonderful reprieve. It warmed right up and with some coffee, tea and oatmeal that was generously provided, we were ready for round two of Oban.

Riverbank Studio, City Centre
Beautifully presented accommodation! Everything we needed plus more! Bread and milk was a nice touch. Wonderful setting close to city centre and train station.

Classic Sea View Apt | Rothesay | 2 BD
I had a wonderful stay at this Airbnb during Christmas! The cozy atmosphere, prime location, and festive surroundings made it a memorable holiday experience.

Cook's Quarters, Camus House, Causeway Coast
The Camus House was 5 stars all around! This place went beyond our expectations. The interior and setting was so cozy, clean, and peaceful. The host went above and beyond with providing fresh breakfast items - so incredibly thoughtful and helpful. A perfect location if you are exploring the causal coast area (car required for this airbnb). Couldn't recommend enough!

Tweedbank
The apartment is located in a lovely area next to the Tweed with beautiful views from the window. We took 2 dogs with us who had a great time! Terry and Aimee are very friendly and welcoming, nothing is too much trouble for them. Appartment modern, comfortable and clean with all the equipment you need. Would highly recommend.

Stay by the shores of Loch Etive
Brilliant stay in a fabulous location, Having stayed in the area for over 10 years on fishing trips this is the best, absolutely spotless lovely and cosy with views to die for, be it wildlife or weather watching (seen otters on the last day) it’s hard to move from the sofa or even put the tv on looking out the big picture window also it has the comfiest bed ever. The location is also excellent being close to Oban for restaurants, shopping etc but also for a lovely drives north to Glencoe etc also 2 mins away from the fabulous beach at Ledaig with its amazing views. Lovely little touches too, flowers and welcome pack with shortbread, tea, coffee milk and sugar to get you started. Will definitely be returning If I can loved it x.

Holiday Flat with Amazing Seaviews
Eine sehr schöne, helle und gemütliche Wohnung mit einem sensationellem Ausblick. Das Wetter war super und wir haben schöne Touren in der Umgebung gemacht. Und dann wieder zurück in der Wohnung den fantastischen Ausblick zu genießen, hat den Tag abgerundet. Wir wären gern länger geblieben und kommen ganz sicher sehr gern wieder.

The Beach House Broadford
Une maison très confortable avec une magnifique vue pour un séjour réussi en famille ou avec des amis.

Crovie The Mission Hall
Aus den Fenstern der umgebauten Kirche schaut man direkt aufs Meer und erlebt herrliche Sonnenuntergänge am Abend. Die Unterkunft liegt perfekt, um mal richtig rauszukommen. Die Wohnung ist gut eingerichtet, uns hat nichts gefehlt. Die Küche ist überdurchschnittlich gut ausgestattet - perfekt für Leute, die gern kochen. In dem Dörfchen wohnen kaum noch Leute, aber die Menschen sind alle sehr zuvorkommend. Auch unsere Gastgeberin war total nett und sie hat uns auf Nachfrage gern mehr zu dieser besonderen Unterkunft erzählt. Gisela hat sehr schnell auf Nachfragen reagiert und stand uns mit Rat und Tat zur Seite. Danke! ☺️

Bright, spacious house with panoramic views
We had such a wonderful time staying at this property. The views are stunning and it had everything we needed. It felt so homely we didn’t want to leave! Thank you so much.

Highland loch-side, 2 bed house with amazing view.
We cannot fully put into words how special Elizabeth’s place is. By far, it is one of the best Air BnB’s we’ve stayed at in the Highlands. If you’re looking for a peaceful hub to visit all the sights. If you’re looking for a refuge, you don’t need to leave the property. As a host, Elizabeth went above and beyond, anticipating our needs, providing recommendations, and even offering a welcome basket.

Islands View - Panoramic sea views
Perfect base for our week in Skye. Worth the longer drive to feel truly away from it all. Stunning views meant we were content on the sofa when the weather wasn’t conducive to being out. Highly recommend.

Braes Retreat - Garden Apartment
Erg leuk huisje. Gezellig ingericht incl. houtkachel. Prima douche en heerlijk bed. Prachtige tuin en mooi uitzicht. Wat wil je nog meer?

1 Craiglinnhe Court...sleeps 2-4 guests.
Dora was very responsive to our queries and friendly. Her place was better than we expected, very clean, spacious and well stocked. Location is fantastic too, lots of shops and restaurants nearby and we had a great walk in the morning.

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.

Gramercy Cosy one bedroom haven - on the sea front
We had a lovely stay in Dunoon, it is a very quiet a peaceful place and we really enjoyed our stay. Paddy is friendly and helpful and her dog is beautiful and very sweet. Both beds were very comfortable, the shower was warm and powerful and the homemade bread was a great touch- we thoroughly enjoyed! Thank you again :)

Cobblerview Apartment
We had an excellent stay at Cobblerview Apartment! The view was, of course, gorgeous - but the care that Carol & Don took in ensuring our stay was comfortable was greatly appreciated and made our experience especially enjoyable. The apartment is cosy and immediately inviting, with a sizable living room space and dining table positioned next to the window and looking out onto Loch Long. Though the view you have of the loch itself is expansive, we never felt as though we didn’t have enough privacy - aside from this window out onto the water, almost all of the natural light that filters in is through skylights. We never needed for utensils or utilities, Carol & Don provided a full range of crockery, cleaning supplies and towels It’s worth bearing in mind that as this is a waterfront property, the bugs are in abundance around summer and you’ll need to have your spray on if you want to sit out on the balcony this time of year!

The Waterfront
Could not rate this property high enough!!The communications were clear, proactive, friendly and very helpful. The place was spotless, spacious and very tastefully decorated. The view was spectacular of the water. Beds and couches were comfy. The guide for local attractions and restaurants was extremely helpful. Would definitely stay there again.

Oban Seafront Penthouse - Superb Views
We wanted a great view of the waterfront and skyline. The outlook from this apartment is superb, and coupled with the quality of the accommodation, it really was the perfect choice. The listing is entirely genuine and accurate, and if you are looking for a special restful retreat in Oban, this is the place. Easy for access to all amenities in Oban and of course the ferry if you’re taking in Mull & Iona like we did. Perfect test at the end of the day sitting watching the view from the magnificent bay windows in the lounge. We watched the sun go down and each morning looked out again at the peaceful outlook. Amazing place and great comms from James the host was very helpful throughout our booking process.

Historic Lochside Woodside Tower
We loved staying at Jill’s place. The views of the lake are incredible. Can definitely recommend it.

Ardtalnaig, Loch Tay, Kindrochit Farm Garden Flat
joanna was great. shes friendly and was very helpful with any questions I had about nearby places and things to do

Comfortable one bed flat overlooking Loch Long
Wij werden warm welkom geheten door Cathy. Die brood en shortbread en jam voor ons had klaarliggen. Die zij zelf had gemaakt😋. De verhuurders waren makkelijk bereikbaar als wij zij nodig hadden. In de flat was alles aanwezig wat wij nodig hadden en wij kregen duidelijke instructies over het functioneren van het apparatuur Verder hadden wij een fantastisch uitzicht op Loch Long en de bergen. Prachtige tuin aanwezig en terras met prachtige planten. En vooral niet te vergeten een mooie op 5 minuten loopafstand om de hond uit te laten. Dit is een plek die wij zeker zullen boeken mochten wij weer eens de hooglanden bezoeken.😃

Seafront luxury Apartment . Licence HI-30281-F
One of the most, (if not the most), beautifully located places we’ve ever stayed. The house was spotless and well-equipped with amenities. Rosie was a brilliant host and quick to respond whenever we needed anything. I'm so glad we decided here rather than staying in the town, which we were at first considering. Can't recommend this place enough!
