About this property
This lovely property is ideally located for a family holiday exploring this beautiful part of Scotland.. Perched on the edge of the crystal clear waters of Loch Etive, this luxury upper conversion enjoys breathtaking panoramic views towards the Falls of Lora, Mull and Morven. With the bustling fishing port of Oban close by, this property provides an ideal base from which to explore this beautiful part of the Northern Highlands and islands.
From the seaside town of Oban visit the Isle of Mull, just a short ferry trip away. Mull’s capital, Tobermory, is instantly recognisable by its famous brightly painted buildings. The island has a fascinating history, once being home to the chief of Clan MacLean, and the site of the clan’s ancient Duart Castle, which has spectacular views from its battlements.
Further south along the coast are the unspoilt glens and bays of Mid Argyll and Kintyre, and the islands of Islay and Jura which are reachable by ferry. Visit the whitewashed houses of Inveraray and the turreted Inveraray Castle, once home to the Duke of Argyll. Campbeltown in Kintyre has some lovely beaches nearby.
The captivating Isle of Bute lies at the heart of the Firth of Clyde. It is a place of tranquil relaxation with sheltered coves and sandy bays, ideal for leisurely hiking and easy-going cycling. Take in the grandeur of Rothesay Castle or Mount Stuart House and Gardens, where the Marquess of Bute once lived. You can also take a ferry to visit the beautiful islands of Iona, Staffa and the Treshnish Isles. The area is a paradise for water sports enthusiasts, mountain bikers, mountain climbers and walkers with all the nearby glens, mountain ranges and coastal paths to explore.

We arrived about 1830 after the long drive North. the Apartment's lights were on giving a soft glow and oozing warmth and welcome. On entering your first impression is WOW. There was a Bottle of Red wine with 2 glasses and a box of Shortbread on the table, fresh flowers and the most sumptuous welcome pack in the Fridge I have ever had in a Self Catering home. Bacon, Sausages, Butter, Eggs. Milk, Bread and White wine which was very much needed. The Apartment is out of this world with views to die for from the huge Patio doors and Balcony. You never get tired of that view and changing skies. Below Otters and Seals are always to be seen. The hosts have thought of everything. I am used to taking essentials with me like extra tea towels, dish washer tablets, black bags etc Nothing was not provided including pods for the coffee machine. Otter View is certainly a First class self catering rental. Would I stay again? in a heartbeat. Location is quiet, plenty of parking and a short drive from the Bustling town of Oban. Easy to go North or South. Or take a ferry to Mull or any of the other islands from Oban.

This is the second time we have stayed at Otters View and it certainly won’t be our last!! What an amazing house with stunning views and the most wonderful hosts. Letitia and Ken are so friendly and welcoming. They shared lots of tips on how to best enjoy our time in the area.The house is so warm and comfortable with everything and more that you might need to enjoy your stay. It’s so difficult to tear yourself away from the view and we were lucky enough to see some otters on this visit. Oban is a short drive or local bus journey away and there’s a few places to eat within walking distance.Thank you Letitia and Ken for another amazing week and we’re already planning our next visits.
