We had a great stay at Awesome Argyll. The house looks even better than the pictures and is very clean and nicely decorated with lots of thoughtful local touches. The house is definitely off the beaten path and very quiet and peaceful, with nice outdoor seating. The kitchen was very well-equipped, and we ate all our dinners at home. Graham’s Grocers is small but has a nice selection for picking up food, and there are several great grocery shopping options in Oban. We really enjoyed day trips to the Isle of Kerrera, Inveraray, and the surrounding area. Everything worked great in the house. Highly recommended!

So glad you enjoyed your stay and exploring some of the great places we have around us in Argyll. For a tiny island, Kerrera has lots to see and the very short ferry ride there makes a fun day out. Great that you got to experience that!

Pleasant Stay

We had a very pleasant weekend with our family. The cottage is very nice, the bathroom was renovated recently, we could make use of the fireplace, nice garden ... it just had a lot of facilities which makes the stay more pleasant. This with the very warm welcoming we had made our stay perfect.

This cottage was everything that the listing promised. We were able to visit so many sights from this location over our 5 day stay. It was nice to have a kitchen to cook dinner rather than eat out all the time. Thanks Fiona, we had a great stay

The property was beautiful and very cosy and very clean. When we arrived the fire was lit, and the extra touches such as fresh flowers, beautiful soap in the bathroom etc made it more homely. The garden is beautiful and the hosts couldn't do enough for us, recommendations of where to visit, eat etc. If we needed anything to message them.

Quiet spot

Stayed for five nights amidst our month of Scotland travels. A bit away (hour or so drive) from most tourist locations if that's what you're looking for. Amazing restaurant a few miles away. Fiona and Andy were just great and had lovely neighbors. Helps to gather groceries in Oban before coming in. Lots of sheep! Didn't get to the BBQ but its a great option!

Perfect base for exploring Argyll

Really well equipped house with beautiful surroundings. After clear instructions of how to arrive and check in we felt warmly welcomed with fresh flowers and some chocolates from Oban. Plenty of lovely walks nearby, but the house was also a great place to use as a base to explore wider, from a trip to Oban (picking up more chocolates!) to a walk up Ben Cruachan. We’d love to stay again and continue to explore. Huge thanks to Fiona and Andy for being such great hosts!!

relaxing and rejuvenating

It went far to quickly. Beautiful setting and it provided everything we needed. The Host made us very welcome and shared her knowledge of the area. We visited Seil island a place we wouldn't have considered but so glad we did, it wasn't crowded and the people were so welcoming. The cottage was clean warm and comfortable. Eating outside was a great treat and the children enjoyed the garden games so much.

Amazing highlands retreat

Amazing Argyll was just outstanding. A beautiful cottage in a beautiful and peaceful location. The kitchen was equipped with just about anything you could think of, the washer/dryer was a lifesaver and the beds exceptionally comfortable. I honestly could not rate our stay high enough and wished we had stayed longer. If we ever make it back (it's a long way from Australia), we will definitely stay here and for longer. Massive thanks to Fiona for making this a special stay with a little surprise since it was my dad's birthday on our check in day.

Is there an option for 6 stars?

Fiona was the most amazing host ever! Super friendly and helpful. When two of us were sick, she and her husband made a special trip to be next door in case we needed anything. Definitely exceptional hosts! The home itself is perfect for a family. Lots of space all extremely well furnished and clean. The garden is a lot of fun, as well, and came with ball games for the kids to play with. The location is fairly remote which is super for relaxing. It's a bit of a trot to Oban and other sites, but well worth it to have such a nice home to come back to. One of the top places we have ever stayed at and we would be happy to come back.

Beautiful cottage in a quiet, idyllic location. Beautifully and lovingly furnished. You have all the comforts of a modern and well equipped kitchen, washing machine and a lovely new bathroom. Everything is clean and you can feel very comfortable. Fiona and Andy are great landlords! They also went above and beyond to help us with a personal problem with our car and spent a lot of time with us. We are very grateful for that. Hospitality is very important here. Thank you very much! Translated with DeepL.com (free version)

Beautiful cottage, amazing hosts

We have just returned from our visit to No 2. What a stunning location!! The cottage had everything we needed (family of 4, two teenagers) and the hosts had thought of all the necessities and more. The chocolates, soap and flowers were a lovely addition. We found a lot to do in the area - Oban was just 30-40 mins away and there were waterfalls, walks and cycle tracks nearby. We went to the pub in Kilchrenan and got takeway from Black Rock curries just along the road. Dalavich had a little shop about 2 miles down the road if you run out of essentials and a lovely little cafe Stargazing was amazing from the garden and we had a really lovely few days. We would definitely return. Thank you so much 😊

We (two grown-ups and a teenager) had a very enjoyable week at Awesome Argyll. The warm hospitality of the hosts made us feel truly welcome. The house was cosy and decorated with great taste, the kitchen was well-equipped. We were very fortunate with the weather during our stay, and could spend all the time in the world relaxing in the garden, taking in the wonderful surroundings. We were sorry we had to leave after our week. Thank you for a wonderful stay!
