Summit
The Summit is a bungalow on Pulpit Hill. It's detached, so nobody's above or next to you. The main thing is the view. You're up high, right by the viewpoint. From the front gate you can see right out over the bay to the islands. You watch the ferries come and go.
It sleeps six. Three bedrooms, two bathrooms. Everything's on one floor, which is good. It's got a 4 Star rating, which means it's comfortable and well-equipped. It's not huge, but it's smart. There's a decent sized kitchen that leads into the living room. Both rooms look out towards Ben Cruachan. There's a balcony with a table and chairs. Good for a coffee in the morning.
You're about a mile from the town centre. Oban's a proper working town. It's got shops, a cinema, a leisure centre. It's the main ferry port for the islands. The CalMac ferries go from here to Mull, and from there you can get to Iona and Staffa. The harbour's busy. They call it the seafood capital, so there are plenty of good places to eat.
The house is on a hill, so the walk back from town is uphill. It's fine if you're okay with a bit of a climb. There's a local pub about three quarters of a mile away, and a restaurant a bit further.
If you're driving, you're well placed. Inveraray with its jail is about half an hour. The Cruachan power station inside the hollow mountain is a clever visit. Further up the coast you've got castles like Dunstaffnage and gardens like Arduaine. For walks, you're on the edge of everything. You can be at a beach in five minutes by car, or up in the hills just as quick.
Inside, it's got what you'd expect. Washing machine, dishwasher, WiFi, TV. The garden is enclosed. There's parking right there. It's wheelchair friendly to get in, but check the specifics if you need full access. No pets, I'm afraid.
A couple of useful links if you're planning: National Trust for Scotland Arduaine Garden and the Forestry and Land Scotland Argyll page for local walks.
