A charming “Croft” with fabulous views and access to Oban
We immediately felt at home here. Cottage was clean and well equipped .. loved the views of the water and Kerrara , and the access to Oban and all its ferries to the islands was super. We truly didn’t want to leave

We recently stayed at this beautiful holiday cottage, from start to finish every aspect of the experience exceeded our expectations.Nestled in a peaceful and picturesque setting, the cottage offered the perfect blend of tranquillity and convenience. We were close to Oban which has all the local shops, cafe's restaurants and other attractions that you'd expect. The local scenic walks and sailings, make it an ideal base for exploring the area.The cottage was equipped with modern appliances and a wood-burning stove for those chilly evenings. The Wi-Fi was reliable, and the private garden with beautiful views was a lovely bonus - ideal for enjoying a coffee or evening drink. It truly had everything you could need for a comfortable and enjoyable stay.We can’t recommend this cottage enough! Whether you're looking for a peaceful getaway or a base for exploring the area, this property offers the perfect combination of comfort, style, and convenience. We left feeling completely refreshed and will definitely be returning in the future! A perfect home away from home.

Beautiful location right by the sea.
Beautiful location right by the sea. Lovely clean cottage with all we needed for a family of six. Fish and chip shops in Oban very good especially eaten by the sea. Lots to see and do even if it is just walking by the shore, great views from the hillside behind the cottage. Saw Seals, Deer and an Eagle but will have to go again to see an Otter.

Ardbhan Croft has wonderful views across the Sound of Kerrera, just over a mile from the centre of Oban. A tranquil haven. Very clean, warm and comfortable with lots of traditional character. Prior to arrival, the owner was very helpful and available to answer enquiries. Plenty of great places to visit locally. This was our first visit. We hope to stay again in the future. One of the best cottages we have stayed in for wonderful views and comfortable rest!

We absolutely loved the cottage and it's position.
We absolutely loved the cottage and it's position. Beautiful views, but still within easy reach of all the amenities in Oban. The cottage has been beautifully decorated and renovated, and there's so much thought to what you need. To arrive and have so much provided, including the lovely card and welcome wine and chocolates was a real bonus. Linda was so helpful too. I'd highly recommend and can't wait to make a return visit.
