Westwood
Westwood is perfectly positioned in a private residential area just 10 minutes walk from Oban town centre, yet far enough away to enjoy your privacy, surrounded by trees within a large enclosed garden. Sheltered and south-facing with a sundeck to make the most of any sunshine. Offering the flexibility of accommodating a larger family yet still comfortable and cosy for a couple. Westwood has three bedrooms and shower room all on the ground floor with easy access from outside. Set away from any busy roads, it has ample parking for multiple cars. The enclosed garden is mostly lawn surrounded by mature trees, bushes and shrubs with a natural stream running through it, to a patio area where guests can enjoy the best of the day. A gravel path leads from the driveway to raised decking which is also accessed via the master bedroom.
A bustling west coast harbour town, Oban has lots going on for the visitor at any time of the year. Central for touring Argyll and known as the Gateway to the Isles, with ferries leaving daily to many of islands, such as Mull, Iona, Staffa, Lismore. In keeping with its reputation as the Seafood Capital of Scotland, there are some excellent restaurants, cafes and pubs, for relaxing after a pleasant day out exploring all the wonderful scenery and interesting attractions which Argyll has to offer. In Oban itself, you can enjoy a pleasant stroll along the Esplanade at sunset, or walk through the Dunollie woods to Dunollie Castle and Museum. There is a lovely sandy beach at Ganavan, just 2 miles drive or walk along the coastal road. There’s a kayaking centre which launches directly into Oban Bay and daily wildlife spotting boat trips from the Esplanade.
Westwood is just a 5-minute scenic drive through the hills to Glencruitten Estate, where there are some lovely walks with views over the town and countryside, a golf course and riding stables. Using the quiet lanes which form part of the National Cycle Route 78, you’re only a 15-minute drive from Connel famous for the stunning Falls of Lora and close to Dunstaffnage Castle and the Ocean Explorer Centre in the village of Dunbeg which also has a very popular Garden Centre with café. The area around Oban has an abundance of wildlife with golden eagles, basking sharks, porpoises and otters often seen.
