The bungalow is in a convenient location with some wonderful views of Oban harbour. That said, the hedges when trimmed would make this even better from the lounge. The gardens are in a poor state(weeds and uncut lawn), with broken, faded garden furniture and rusted plant holders(or an old rusty swing if that counts). The property itself was clean but tired. The kitchen could do with replacing or a revamp. Above all, the oven was filthy and unusable. A good carpenter would also be recommended for the ill fitted doors. Attention to detail is a must for the price charged for rental of this property

The house was perfect. Spacious and bright. Spotlessly clean with everything anyone could require. There are fantastic views from the back of the house overlooking Oban town and the harbour.
