Guests say
Summit cottage in Oban is highly praised for its stunning views, peaceful setting, and proximity to the town centre. Guests consistently mention the property’s cleanliness, well-equipped kitchen, and comfortable beds. The steep hill location provides beautiful vistas but may be challenging for some; however, taxis are readily available. Hosts are described as welcoming, and thoughtful touches such as a welcome pack are appreciated. Some minor issues include a need for garden maintenance and occasional dampness in certain rooms, but overall, guests report a delightful and memorable stay.
Multiple reviews highlight the property as extremely clean on arrival, with guests describing it as spotless and well-maintained. Only one mention of a damp smell in the back bedrooms was noted, but this did not detract significantly from the overall impression.
The location is frequently praised for its elevated position offering superb views over Oban and easy access to the town. The steep hill is mentioned as a challenge for some, but the proximity to the viewpoint and town centre, as well as the availability of taxis, are seen as major positives.
Guests find the cottage very comfortable, with good beds and spacious living areas. There is a minor note about feather pillows affecting those with asthma and limited storage in one bedroom, but overall comfort is rated highly.
The cottage is described as well-equipped, especially the kitchen, and all appliances are up to date and functioning. Some guests mention the need for modernisation in a couple of rooms and garden/fence maintenance, but these are minor compared to the overall positive feedback.

Comfortable, well equipped cottage - everything had been thought of. Beds were good although the second double bedded room lacked storage. Kitchen equipment excellent! All appliances up to date and functioning. Very clean on arrival - we broke a plate and were able to write a note about it. Near enough to walk into Oban for Whisky tasting etc N.B.

We usually do a few cottage holidays a year in Scotland and the Summit is one we come back to again and again. The cottage is clean and the beds so comfortable. The kitchen is well equiped to cook your own meals after a day out however oban also has an abundance of eateries. The welcome pack is a lovely touch too. What makes the summit one of our favourites are the views, both from the cottage balcony and from the viewpoint. Yes its a steep walk back from the town but thats part of it all for us. Taxis are available if you dont fancy the walk. Have booked again for next year. Thank you for another lovely holiday.
