Fantastic Accomodation in a lovely area of Oban
The property is situated a 10 minute drive from the town centre so is well located for any sightseeing that you want to do. The home itself is very spacious, has lots of storage, very comfy beds and cosy lounge room and a large enclosed back yard which was lovely to sit out in and enjoy a drink and our family members two small dogs had a wonderful time exploring in it. Hosts communicated with us well prior to and during our stay to ensure that we had everything that we needed. A lovely touch was the complimentary Oban chocolate and a selection of Oban Whisky that we could help ourselves to and enjoy a wee dram! Highly recommend this place and hope to visit again one day. Thank you John & Nicole for your wonderful hospitality.

Lovely Stay in Dunbeg
The house was clean and roomy. We had plenty of room to lounge around when we were not out and about. It's for sure a drive into Oban, but there is a Bus Stop right outside your door so not a problem to get into town. Property is quite got a good night sleep every night. Fun to be located in a neighbor hood.

Lovely wee family weekend
A fantastic house in a great location on the west coast. We were blessed with stunning weather for our two nights and there's some really nice wee beaches not far from the house at all. Nice and close to Oban as well for all the shops you need. Great communication from the hosts as well who made sure we had everything we needed. Can't recommend enough!

Lots of special touches
This house was very comfortable for our party of four adults and two kids. The bedding and pillows were really comfortable and high quality which was a treat. It’s located about a three minute drive from Oban town centre and about a five minute drive to a Tesco, Aldi and M&S Food Hall which was really convenient. The property itself is quite attractively decorated and it’s clear the hosts are very proud of where they come from. They also have an excellent system in place to provide information about the property and check in. We had North American cell phones which did not cooperate with texting so we had a hiccup at check in but John and Nicole were very responsive by email through VRBO and we got it sorted out quickly. Would not hesitate to recommend staying here. Very comfortable stay.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Kitchen was well stocked. Bathroom amenities and shower were great. Beds were comfortable. Our hosts were terrifically responsive when we had trouble accessing our checkin details through VRBO. Not their fault at all, but deducted a star because of the challenges. I highly recommend this place for your next holiday!

Wonderful base for exploring the area
We had a fabulous time staying at Aura. Property was clean and well-appointed, with spacious bedrooms (complete with comfortable beds!) and thoughtful touches left for us by the hosts. Hosts were also very communicative both before and during our trip, and especially helpful/quick to respond when something didn't work on the first day. We chose Aura as a base for exploring Oban and the surrounding area--including Glencoe, Kilmartin, and parts of Loch Lomond and the Trossachs. All of these made for excellent day trips, and Aura was lovely to return to each evening, with a cosy electric fire and a complementary glass of single malt from the shelf in the kitchen. Closer to home, Dunstaffnage Castle is within walking distance and Ganavan Sands is a beautiful beach, even on a cool, rainy day like it was when we visited it. My friends and I would all recommend Aura and would definitely stay there again.
