Had a really nice stay at Springbanks. The house is large airy and in great shape. There are wonderful views across the loch. Under an hour from Glencoe , 15 minutes from Oban, with a train station within walking distance.

Would definitely recommend a stay at Springbank. The house is very well equipped, and was a lovely base. We were lucky with the weather but, had it been bad, Springbank felt roomy enough that spending several days mainly indoors wouldn't have been a hardship. The garden is also very nice, and sitting out in the evenings was a definite bonus. The owRead moreners provided extensive advice on things to do in the area, and responded promptly and helpfully to our few queries. We hope to be back! Hide

Wonderfully located house within 15 mins walk of the beautiful Loch Etive. The house itself was very well equipped and so comfortable to relax in after being caught out in the rather frequent rain storms. Lots to do and see in the immediate area and also an easy drive into Oban for the ferries. Entertained at home by just watching the masses of birRead moreds on the garden feeders. Very helpful owners when an item was left behind. Hide

Fantastically equipped period cottage with great views! Two sitting rooms and lots of storage for outdoor gear. Owners were very helpful and prompt replying to queries. The homemade sausages, bacon and eggs from neighbours were lovely! Would definitely return ! Loved our stay!

Springbank is a classic house. It is clean , well maintained with quality facilities and equipment. The garden is on multiple levels and interesting to explore with kids and dogs. The elevated position provides excellent views. I was in contact with the owner James on a couple of points and his response was professional and efficient. Springbank isRead more an excellent choice for a base in the Oban area. Highly recommended. Hide
