A peaceful retreat

This cottage is in a quiet peaceful location that is close enough to Oban to be convenient, but far enough to be away from the hustle of the town center. Communication with Amanda was easy, and she even contacted us after checkin, to be sure everything was ok. Would highly recommend for anyone looking for a place to stay near Oban.

Disappointed- bottom dollar more important than guests

Through out the night, the house vibrated and shook. All Night! Very loud! None of us were able to sleep. At around 2:00am I messaged the host, the noise and the shaking/vibrating had kept us up all night. Mostly in the second upstairs bedroom, it can be heard in the main bedroom. She messaged back at around 8:00, apologizing and that she would send someone over that works on her farm to see what was going on. They came over, bled the radiator said he wasn't sure if he had fixed it or if that was even the problem and he would call a plumber. At this point we hadn't slept, we felt sick and my daughter and myself had seemed to have hallucinations throughout the night. We decided that since the issue was not solved and we didn't sleep and we weren't feeling well, we would find another place to stay. We suggested carbon monoxide poising and even the idea that the house was haunted(this was first thing in the am when we were still ill and tired from the previous night). This was dismissed by the host with no resolution or theory as to what the problem could have been. The host did not offer to refund us for our stay, instead seemed offended that we tough it out. The last 4 days of our holiday was interrupted by this experience. This should never be the way anyones holiday ends. With no remorse, and no offer to refund for the remainder of our stay, the bottom dollar is obviously more important to the host than the well being of her guests. Also, black mold in bathroom, hard beds.

Best stay on our trip

Oh My Goodness! Such a beautiful spot and lovely accommodations. Amanda's extra touches with a well appointed kitchen made us so comfortable. The Hairy Cows are adorable and the recommended hike behing the property was fantastic. Amanda texted us to be aware of some terrible weather that was to arrive during our stay, she is a kind and caring host. We will pass our opinions of this stay on to any we know who may be journeying in this direction. Thank You Amanda!
