Cottage vacation rentals in Oban

A great getaway with loads to do close by for whatever mood you're in - great towns and cities like Calendar and Stirling less than half an hour away, equally beautiful countryside and multiple waterfalls, lochs and walks to choose from on the doorstep. Our toddler loved the on site swimming pool and the grown ups enjoyed the peaceful views from the hot tub too! Rosie was so friendly and accommodating.

An absolute stunning break, our third time here. A quiet, comfortable home and a spectacular garden space for my autistic son to be himself, and my 3 Chihuahuas felt like they were in heaven. The hot tub was well used, even my elderly mum had a go. We had some lovely visits to the surrounding areas but mostly enjoyed the rest and relaxation that we all needed. We can’t wait to come back again.

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!!

An absolutely wonderful stay at Tamano Farm for my partners birthday with our friends and toddler. The cottage is spacious, clean, family friendly and comfortable with all amenities you can ask for. The kitchen was well equipped and the large dining table was great for dining together. Our toddler especially enjoyed seeing the sheep, lambs and feeding the donkeys. The surroundings are very peaceful and scenic. We appreciated the effort to be as eco friendly as possible. Everyone loved the hot tub and sauna. Takes some time to set up, that is to be expected as wood fired but was well worth it and very relaxing. Very friendly hosts with great communication. No complaints about our stay at all we could have stayed for much longer. Thank you for having us!

We loved our stay in the waterfall cottage! It was a perfect place for our newlywed destination to kick off our honeymoon. The view is stunning and we loved drinking our morning coffee in the back porch taking it all in. The inside is very cozy and we cooked many meals in the kitchen which was well appointed. There are other lodgings directly adjacent to the property but fortunately were all vacant otherwise it would have been less private than expected. This is listed as a detached cottage, but a wall is directly shared with a cottage next door technically making this a duplex. A bit misleading but all good since it was vacant for our stay. Nina was responsive to all our questions which we appreciated. We loved Loch Tay, the Crannog Center, and Aberfeldy nearby. While there are no direct signs to get to the lochside, there are paths down to the loch through the gate or nearby boathouse lodge entrance from the road to walk down to see the water.

This was our 2nd stay at March Cottage. The addition of the log burner in the front room and bedroom is great. We will definitely return for a 3rd visit.

We had a really lovely stay at the cottage, and as others have said the games room is fabulous fun, the horses were a huge hit with our kids, and we thoroughly enjoyed the hot tub after a fun day out! Thank you again Helen and family for a super place to relax and have great fun. We really enjoyed our visit.

We couldn’t have picked a better place to finish our week exploring Islay and Jura. The cottage is an absolute dream. A mixture of back to basics and quality amenities. Located a 10 minute drive from Craighouse but also with great walks straight from the door. The paps right on your doorstep gave us the most magical sunset sight. Rain or sun whatever the weather Jura wears it well. And Mrs Leonard’s cottage is the perfect place to come back to and either warm up in front of the fire or sip a wine or a touch of the hard stuff in the garden. I hope we will be back

Lovely little cottage, with everything you need. Clean and comfortable, just as listed. Great location to explore kintyre. Petrol station and small shop a bonus, as its a very rural settling. Peaceful and quiet.

Tony and Mairi are delightful hosts. Their place is better than the photos and the bed is divine! Tony was extremely generous to not only recommend a fabulous restaurant but made the booking on our behalf. We really enjoyed our stay and it's a perfect base to explore the Glencoe area. Cannot wait to return.

We booked for a last minute get away and Tim & Judy’s place did not disappoint! The cottage was gorgeous and Tim was very helpful in getting us settled - peanuts were set right outside the kitchen window and we had red squirrels within minutes! Lots more bird watching was done throughout our stay :)) The fire and heaters kept us cosy, and the kitchen was well equipped. Will be returning soon hopefully!

Words cannot express the wonderful week we have had on Loch Katrine. Old Smiddy is ideally located for hiking the mountains, lochs and woodland and Carole has thought of all you need to make it feel like a home from home. Having our morning tea watching the Barn Swallows and House Martins catching their breakfast on the lake in the sunshine was very special. Aberfoyle has all you need for food and cute shops and fantastic Doone Hill walk from the town - Free Parking!!! A ferry trip on the Sir Walter Scott from the pier over to Trossachs Pier is a MUST and the Primrose Hill hike was stunning. The Pier Cafe is outstanding, definitely worth a treat and just a short walk away. Thank you Carole for sharing your amazing house, we will be back to enjoy the hot tub and sauna 🤞

Everything you need can be found in this beautiful cottage. Beautiful walks in the immediate vicinity. Add to that the view of the Isle of Skye and the immediate vicinity of the great Glenelg Inn with suberp food. What more could you want?

Adrian could not have made our stay at his cottage any better. He was communicative and helpful. His lovely cottage was comfortable and provided us with the perfect base to explore the area as well as relax Thank you

We had a brilliant week at Grant and Laura's croft. The house was very comfortable, clean and well equiped. It is in a lovely location, very peaceful but a short walk from Strontian. There are lots of lovely walks in the area and the fabulous weather was a huge bonus. Many thanks we had a great stay.

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!

It’s difficult to say just a few words! Here’s the list: It’s a privilege to stay in this unique place, built with care for guests AND for the earth! A warm welcome, easy to find. The view is outstanding Great wee kitchen, bathroom, sitting room. The shower is lovely. A welcome blackcurrant cake slice! Lots of food basics provided. Private and warm and quiet - except for the birds singing Walk to the Pub in 20 minutes- it IS hilly - but good food and beer Really nice Wild swimming in the harbour at the pub. Nicola provides 3 big towels to cosy into afterwards! Only 35 minutes to Lochalsh, about 50 to Glen Elg wee ferry, 35 to Broadford. If you are older, the access is steep for cases etc. Take your time, and it’s fine! If we come back to Skye, we WILL come back to Nicola❤️

Charmant cottage décoré avec goût très propre et spacieux Il est super équipé C’est très agréable d’y séjourner Très bien placer pour les visites Même un petit jardin quand il fait bon Kelly est très sympathique A recommander fortement

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

Ive booked Julie's place a few times for colleagues coming to the area to cover shifts. Julie is very responsive, always helpful and makes everything very straight forward, would definitely recommend.

We had a great weekend at Fiona’s cottage despite the rainy weather. The cottage is as described and would be absolutely delightful to sit in the beautiful garden enjoying the peaceful surroundings. The cottage is very private and well looked after. We loved lighting up the log fire in the evenings sipping a glass (or 2) of wine and watching the rain fall, absolutely magical. Fiona is a very responsive and helpful host, when we arrived at the cottage we realised there was no hot water, we contacted Fiona and whithin an hour (or less!) we had a technician come to us who solved the problem in a matter of minutes, we were very impressed by Fiona’s prompt action. We managed to bike down to Old Castle Lachlan and Kilmorie Chapel when the rain let up a bit, lovely scenery and an easy ride on our e-bikes. We dined at The Creggan’s Inn and spotted a red squirrel, 2 does and a fawn on the road down to/from The Oystercatcher, absolutely amazing! Thank you for having us Fiona, we will be back!

Heather was a great host. Communicative, helpful and thoughtful. The accommodation is a unique space with very quirky features. The bedroom is serene , tranquil and the peacefulness assisted in a great nights sleep. It is a retreat from a busy world in the most marvellously scenic village. For the price we paid, it was great value for money. Thank you Heather.

Fantastic place with a panoramic view of the Sound of Mull and the Island of Mull. Parking right outside, very quiet and peaceful. Beautiful accomodation, which was spotlessly clean. The kitchen had everything needed, the bathroom was lovely with the choice of a great shower or bath.

Clare was a lovely host who clearly cares a lot about her cottage, the location and her guests experience. Very helpful, flexible and understanding. It was a great pleasure and a fabulous time was had!
