There are plenty of great country walks right on the doorstep and mountain biking as well. Oban is full of lovely cafes and independent shops, but one of the best things about Oban is the drive to get there. The surrounding landscapes are incredible. Although set in a peaceful location Oban has great train links to Glasgow should you wish to head over to this beautiful city while you’re here.

Can’t fault the accommodation - great place to stay. Take care on the garden path though - the mud can be very slippy.
