This property was exactly what we needed for our adventures in and around Oban. Very short drive to Oban, and it made getting to Glen Coe and Ben Nevis easy as well. Everything was neat and tidy, and everything worked very well!
Proximity to Oban was a plus. House was beautiful and in a quiet location. Beds very comfortable. Appreciated the owners having a website with all the details including local attractions.
Definitely would recommend this place to anyone in staying in Oban.
Beautiful home with enough room for everyone.
Helpful hosts made the stay easy and enjoyable.
We had a lovely time and felt at home.
Canadian approved!
We enjoyed our stay here—and the great castle at the end of the street! A short drive to Oban. The property was clean and well-maintained, and the hosts were very responsive.
The house was clean and roomy. We had plenty of room to lounge around when we were not out and about. It's for sure a drive into Oban, but there is a Bus Stop right outside your door so not a problem to get into town. Property is quite got a good night sleep every night. Fun to be located in a neighbor hood.
A lovely spot. Well equipped kitchen with treats. Beds were comfortable. Location was good. A good spot if you have children or pets. Note that 2 bedrooms and the single bathroom are up a full flight of stairs. The main bedroom is on the main floor. There are baby gates available, jut note the stairs if you have mobility challenges or youngsters sleeping on a different floor. Great communication and assistance from the host. We would highly recommend and we would return.
The property is situated a 10 minute drive from the town centre so is well located for any sightseeing that you want to do. The home itself is very spacious, has lots of storage, very comfy beds and cosy lounge room and a large enclosed back yard which was lovely to sit out in and enjoy a drink and our family members two small dogs had a wonderful time exploring in it. Hosts communicated with us well prior to and during our stay to ensure that we had everything that we needed. A lovely touch was the complimentary Oban chocolate and a selection of Oban Whisky that we could help ourselves to and enjoy a wee dram! Highly recommend this place and hope to visit again one day. Thank you John & Nicole for your wonderful hospitality.
Aura was a lovely place to stay - beds were comfortable, check-in was well communicated, there were many nice small touches, and it was a quick drive into Oban. Overall, very pleased with our stay and would recommend to anyone!
We loved our stay at Aura house in Oban. House was very well equipped with everything we needed and suited our group well. Our hosts were friendly and prompt with a response to an inquiry. We would recommend this lovely home to anyone !
Had a wonderful stay. House had everything we needed for a family of 6. Quiet neighborhood with everything you could ask for. Kids enjoyed the backyard and park across the street.
We used this place for day trip to Mull and Oban, so convenient. Cooked dinner one night for a quiet one after hitting the store. Used the outdoor grill and indoor stove worked great.Plan on long wash times if you use the washer - much longer than run times on US washer..
A fantastic house in a great location on the west coast. We were blessed with stunning weather for our two nights and there's some really nice wee beaches not far from the house at all. Nice and close to Oban as well for all the shops you need. Great communication from the hosts as well who made sure we had everything we needed. Can't recommend enough!
Clean and organized space as advertised. Welcomed with a postcard, chocolate and dram of scotch! Great stay and had everything we needed. The recommendations for bars and food were spot on. Poppies for breakfast and live music at Markie Dans was great! Would stay again. Thank you
Really enjoyed our stay here John and Nicole had everything that you could need for a comfortable stay they stayed in touch to make sure we had everything we needed.. The house is well equipped including toys to keep the young ones occupied. Oban is a short 3 mile trip such a lovely town. I would thoroughly recommend this property if you are looking for somewhere to stay in oban . Thanks again John and Nicole and for the wee dram of oban whisky 😀
Not good for someone with allergies. Cute house overall and owners very responsive and helpful. Missing supplies like kleenex, paper towels, trash bags. Bathtub door seal did not work.
