The rural location ensures peace and privacy but is still less than 3 miles from the vibrant harbour town of Oban, with views across open farmland and walks from the door. Within the same site there is a small children’s play area and The Barn, a rustic pub with plenty of character (open all year but restricted hours over the winter). A good place to catch up over a drink and tasty local fare following the days adventures. Due to its rural location, you can enjoy some amazing star gazing on a clear night.
Oban, known as the Seafood Capital of Scotland, has a wide range of seafood & fish restaurants and an excellent fish shop if you wish to cook your own. A visit to the Green Seafood Shack on the quayside is a must for those who love their shellfish. The town is otherwise known as the Gateway to the Isles with the Calmac ferry terminal on South Pier giving access by boat to Mull, Colonsay, Tiree, Lismore and Barra. And there’s a handy water taxi across to Oban’s nearest island – Kerrera – from the town’s North Pier.
The town has two impressive cathedrals and an array of independent shops, including the must visit Oban Chocolate Shop and Oban Distillery. There are several supermarkets, cafes, pubs and restaurants, a cinema, golf course, swimming pool and a selection of other land and water-based sports facilities. Not forgetting safe sandy beaches for those looking for a traditional ‘seaside holiday’, numerous historical sites within easy reach including Dunstaffnage and Dunollie Castles and Inveraray Jail and for the horticulturist’s, visits to Inveraray Castle & Gardens and Arduaine Gardens are a must. There really is plenty for all ages to explore.

A lovely lodge in a great little glen. Would recommend this as very close to Oban, in a lovely rural setting. Wish we could have stayed longer than 2 nights. Had a relaxing time after a hectic 2 weeks touring Scotland.

Lovely accommodation, quiet and peaceful. The perfect base for exploring the west coast.

We love the location and layout of the site which makes the most of the beautiful surroundings, and with Oban only a 10 minute drive away it was easy to get supplies. An unexpected bonus was that Scotland doesn't have the reduced Sunday trading hours that we have in England. The chalet/cabin was well equipped and snug, simply but tastefully furnished and with a particularly comfortable bed. It was also spotlessly clean. There were a couple of essentials missing from the kitchen – a small sharp knife and an oven glove – but Katie very quickly supplied replacements. She also brought us a DVD player when we were out for the day and sent me a very clear video of how to set it up. We were fortunate to have lovely weather during our stay there but had that not been the case the heating in the property would certainly have kept things cosy. We also appreciated that the cost of electricity was included in the rental price. We thought the site and the properties were well managed and Katie was charming and very responsive to requests for help or information.
