Guests say
Degnish Farmhouse in Oban is consistently praised for its stunning views, comfortable and well-equipped accommodation, and peaceful surroundings. Guests enjoy the local wildlife, walks, and the property's history. The enclosed garden and games room are highlights, as is the proximity to Oban for amenities and boat trips.
There is no specific mention of cleanliness in the reviews, so it is not possible to provide an accurate score.
The location is highly praised for its fabulous views, tranquillity, and wildlife. It is noted as a bit remote with a single track road, but this seems to contribute to the charm rather than detract from it.
Guests find the house cosy, comfortable, and well-stocked with necessities. The beds are described as very comfy, contributing to a restful stay.
The property is well-equipped with a kitchen, games room, and large garden. A power cut incident was well-handled with provisions of candles and torches, though it suggests some reliance on external factors for maintenance.
While guests express appreciation for the property and its offerings, there is no mention of gifts or special thoughtful touches by the owner, so a score cannot be provided.
About this property
In a glorious setting, this spacious retreat enjoys a games room, garden and barbecue - perfect for summer evenings.. Degnish Farmhouse sits proudly alone within a 1100-acre working hill farm at the western end of Loch Melfort and has spectacular panoramic sea and adjacent island views. Surrounded by abundant wildlife, including otters, seals and birdlife and with easy access to golf, horse riding, sea kayaking, fishing and sailing, this comfortable south-facing detached holiday property offers a perfect retreat in a glorious setting.
The house has been lovingly re-built to a very good standard, with underfloor heating, double glazing and an emphasis on the wonderful views.
Ideally based for exploring the west coast, there are plenty of ferry trips nearby to Mull, Arran, Gigha, Islay, Colonsay or Tiree. The bustling harbour town of Oban, known as the ‘Gateway to the Isles’, is a scenic drive north and is home to an array of shops and restaurants. Inveraray Castle, historic Kilmartin Glen, and the Crinan Canal make for wonderful days out. Ardmaddy Castle and Gardens are 3½ miles over the hill, and can be accessed on foot, by 4-wheel drive or via the road to Seil Island. Guests enjoy free access to the gardens and are also welcome to use the estate’s tennis court. Small motor boats can be hired at Ardmaddy. Free fishing can also be arranged on the estate’s well-stocked hill loch.
There are plenty of hill and forest trails for mountain biking and leisurely walks, or visit one of the magnificent local gardens. Whilst there is the farm and miles of coastline to explore, there is also an enclosed garden and covered outdoor BBQ area ensuring the safety of younger children whilst allowing the grown-ups to enjoy an al-fresco lunch. Shop and pub 5 miles..

Absolutely beautiful holiday at Degnish. We spent the whole week outside enjoying the views. A few days spent snorkelling in the clear waters finding huge starfish and beautiful big shells. Oban centre isn’t too far to drive to get all your necessities and places to eat out. Plenty of walks and places to explore and my nephews and niece very much enjoyed the sheep dogs rounding all the sheep together. House itself is stunning and bright filled with everything you might need. You can feel the love that went into this house and we certainly made the happiest of memories.
