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.

We had the most wonderful week at Kiloran cottage. The welcome basket on arrival was absolutely lovely and we were blown away by the views when we stepped into the back garden. The daily walk into Oban was just glorious (particularly as we had beautiful weather all week) with the (quite steep) walk back up being more than worth it. The cottage was extremely spacious for 5 adults with lots of comfortable seating in the livingroom, a lovely big dining table and an very well equipped kitchen. The bedrooms were also very comfortable and the second bathroom was a welcome addition. I cannot recommend this cottage highly enough!

Our second stay at Kiloran which speaks for itself. Lovely, cosy home with the most spectacular views of mountains and sea across Oban to Kerrera, Lismore, Mull... Loved sitting in the garden watching the boats come & go and the sun setting. The house was clean and homely, it feels like you’ve popped round to see family. We’re a family of 5 with 3 teenagers and Kiloran had everything we needed.
