An incredibly cozy cottage, steps away from town. We had a bit of trouble during our travels (flight delayed, connection missed), so it turned into a hectic situation of planes, trains and automobiles. We kept in contact with Sabina, and not only was she quick to respond, but compassionate to our situation. The doors, locks, switch situations are different in America, and Sabina was happy to answer my onslaught of what I’m sure were pestering questions.
Lovely spot, full kitchen, comfortable bed, great water pressure in shower, close to EVERYTHING (seriously, we never once got in our car after check-in). 10 minutes walk to McCaig’s Tower, 5 to Oban Distillery and the whole of town.
Cannot recommend this cottage and its hosts enough. Thank you Sabina and Alasdair!Dominik and Danielle, California, US July 2022

Previous Guests’ Reviews
Very lovely Cottage, just five minutes away from Oban Town centre. It has a modern and simple, yet inviting and cosy furnishing. The self-check-in is super easy. The communication with Sabina was super straight forward and responses were quick and heartfelt. The kitchen is well equipped and the bathroom is very luxurious. Even though the bedroom is near the road we had no trouble sleeping, as the traffic dies down long before bedtime.
If you are travelling as a couple, there probably isn’t a better place to stay in Oban!Christopher, Germany September 2022
I planned a nearly two-week trip to the Hebrides and needed a “home base” in Oban, and I’m *so grateful* I found Sabina’s cottage! First, it is very clean, cozy and secure. The place has everything you could need for a short or extended stay. It’s been remodelled, so things are fresh and new in the cottage, too, making it feel a little luxurious despite the slow and homey pace of Oban. The location is excellent but quiet – right in the town centre and just a half-mile walk to cafés and restaurants, too. I recommend dinner at Cuan Mor for seafood (make a reservation) and Hinba Roasters for coffee and pastry before starting the day. You can also rent a charming rebuilt old bike from Nick at The Rusty Cycle Shed for tooling around the town and the islands. Sabina is an excellent host – kind and caring and attentive to anything I needed during my stay. Cannot recommend this place enough and would absolutely stay here again.

We had a wonderful stay at Sabina’s place, the house has everything you need for a comfortable stay. The shower is amazing and the bed so comfy. Oban is with easy reach a 5–8-minute walk. There is so much to see and do. It is great.
