This summary has been generated using feedback from guests who have stayed at this property

Gallanach Castle Garden Wing receives high praise for its stunning location, historical charm, and welcoming hosts, Charles and Lise. Guests consistently report a sense of tranquillity and the joy of exploring the extensive grounds. The property is celebrated for its cleanliness, comfort, and the thoughtful touches provided by the hosts, although there is a single mention of a room with a damp smell. The estate's natural beauty, complete with friendly animals and private beaches, makes for a memorable stay.

Cleanliness

Reviews frequently commend the cleanliness of the accommodation, with specific mentions of it being 'spotlessly clean' and 'very clean and comfortable'. One isolated comment about a damp smell in a room prevents a perfect score.

Location

The location is described as stunning, tranquil, and a great base for exploring. Its proximity to Oban and the natural surroundings are highly valued, with only one mention of the castle being more remote than expected.

Comfort

Guests find the accommodation comfortable, with several positive references to the quality of the beds and furnishings. One review suggests it might feel cramped with a full occupancy sharing one bathroom.

Facilities

Facilities are generally praised, especially the well-equipped kitchen. However, the mention of a single bathroom for a potentially large group and a comment about a room with a bad smell suggest room for improvement.

Thoughtfulness

The hosts are repeatedly mentioned for their thoughtfulness, including a warm welcome and provision of essentials like milk and tea. While such gifts are appreciated, they are not guaranteed for every stay.

About this property

Oban 3 miles. A historic cottage set on the Gallanach Estate, the private wing of the castle offers remarkable views extending out towards the coast and countryside. Perfect for the entire family, this retreat has an impeccable sense of character, which continues from the ground floor up. The lounge has been thoughtfully designed, home to a collection of sofas and a dining area which seats up to eight people. From morning through to evening, you can join your loved ones for a cosy get-together amongst the warmth of the open fire. With the breath-taking landscape located on your doorstep, this is a beautiful spot for endless hours of peace, homeliness and tranquillity. The kitchen boasts a quirky, country-cottage-feel, a unique presentation with a backdrop of the garden as a heart-warming feature. Stairs lead up to a haven of bedrooms, the double is uplifted by traditional furnishings, with a magnificent outlook over the coast, a picture perfect landscape for you to wake up to. Three twin bedrooms mirror the quality of the previous, complemented by rural scenery, leaving you spoilt for choice. Lastly, a family bathroom is introduced as a neutral suite, with an overhead shower for a classic finish. The garden will become your own spacious paradise, perhaps for a barbecue, or an afternoon of relaxation, allowing holiday makers full use of the grounds including its own private beaches. Situated in the midst of hillside, amongst the bay, this getaway is an excellent base for touring the islands and especially the west coast. On a pleasant day you can enjoy the series of wildlife, including otters,seals and Sea Eagles - and you may even catch sight of a dolphin if you're lucky. Visit the Puffin Dive Centre just a few minutes away. The Isles of Mull and Iona are a great location for a day trip, or simply browse the wide assortment of shops and boutiques that Oban has to offer, why not take a trip to the Oban Distillery? A one-of-a-kind cottage in a exclusive location.

Oban is a town that is set on the west coast of Scotland. It boasts bars and restaurants catering for all tastes, along with shops and boutiques, whilst the Oban Distillery is easily accessible.
