  Argyle House is a gem of a place!

  Deceptive from the outside as its massive on the inside! It sits right on the see front & has amazing veiws across to the mainland. We were a party of 20, 12 adults & 8 children (ages from 5 - 17) celebrating a 50th birthday & there was enough room for everyone to have their own space, the teenagers had their own rooms which they loved as they could chill out whenever they wanted. There are 2 lovely big sitting rooms, the kids took ownership of one while the male adults chilled in the other watching football! The real hub of the house though was the massive dining room (the only room big enough to hold all of us at once) and the kitchen. The dining room overlooks the harbour & out to the mainland, it is a fabulous view! The kitchen has everything you could possibly need & there's a massive range cooker more than capable of catering for the 20 of us. Most rooms are ensuite which was a real bonus. Fantastic big garden for the kids & dogs to runaround in complemented by a hot tub sited in a very tasteful gazebo to protect you from the elements although we were very lucky as the sun shone all weekend. The owner was very welcoming, contacting us on day one, to check in with us to make sure we were happy with everything & again after check out which is a lovely touch. The neighbours and the people on the island of Bute were so friendly too, which really helped us all to feel welcome & part of the community for the short time we were there! All in all a lovely house in a lovely location, I would definitely recommend it for a large group.

  We had a wonderful time at Woodland Villa.

  There is literally everything you could possibly need here, and it's so nice to come somewhere where they've provided hand soap, and some oil, kitchen roll etc. The front room was our favourite part of the house with the fire on at night and plenty of space for everyone. It's a really spacious property with lovely big windows, cosy lighting and a feeling of being in the middle of nowhere. Can also attest to hide and seek being great fun here! If you're unsure whether to book, definitely do! Oban is a fab place with so much just down the road, and the ferries are close for visiting any Islands. We've had an absolute whale of a time and we'd not hesitate to book again. Thank you so much for a great holiday

  We didn't use every room as just two of us!

  Generally speaking, no real issues (clean bedding, cutlery, towels, etc), but being picky, the kitchen paintwork around the cooker and sink needs attention and there is general decor wear and tear in the hall/stairs. The ensuite shower needs re-sealing as is now discoloured. The kitchen table is badly marked and the chairs are faded. Appreciate not all guests look after a holiday let as they should, so it's difficult to keep on top of jobs! Still a good place to stay and the kitchen and lounge were pleasantly light and bright. We saw red squirrels in the garden and deer up the road; Oban was a lovely break; the scenery is spectacular, there is everything you need in town and the weather was kind.

  Cottage very comfortable and pretty convenient for us with a car.

  Mrs McNeil came over to ensure we were not cold and showed how to turn on the heating as first day was very wet. However we didn't need to bother her at all following that visit.Details for Woodland Villa were spot on and the whole property was very spacious and contained all the facilities we required plus some more! We didn't use the outside space as it was rather shady and we preferred to go into Oban itself. Our cousins who were to join us didn't in the end so the Villa was more than we needed. It would be good to have greater flexibility to change accommodation especially if it is well in advance of the date. The extra cost seemed excessive.

  We had looked at several holiday properties, but all with on road parking, which was far from ideal.

  So when we saw this one with off road parking it sealed the deal. It was perhaps too big for our needs as there was only two of us. But it felt quite decadent! The property was well equipped, very comfortable, spacious and with a powerful shower(s) to wake you up in the morning. The immediate area was quiet and peaceful, with only a short walk down into the hustle and bustle of Oban town. If you enjoy outdoor pursuits, then Oban is a great base. If you are a fish lover, then you will be spoilt for choice with the local restaurants. All in all we enjoyed a great holiday, blessed with fine sunny weather and the property was a great find!
