This is a perfect place for a visit to Oban. We would certainly recommend it. There were only 2 of us but it can certainly accommodate 6 people.

Overall amazing experience booking with Sykes.. have been using this platform for 8 years now and very satisfied with their services.

Mr Akhtar, August 2020

Woodland Villa is a spacious holiday home.. It is clean and comfortable. The kitchen is well stocked with everything you could need if you are self catering. I can highly recommend it .

A great place to stay with lots of room and central heating which was particularly welcome for those wet days when we didn't want to venture far.. The facilities provided in the property were excellent.

We had a lovely weekend at Woodland Villa.. The house is beautiful and had everything that we needed. We loved the location as we were rewarded by beautiful views and it was a short walk into town. Thanks for having us!!

Lovely clean comfortable warm house. Loads of space for 6, could easily accommodate more. Our 2 yr old loved it. Lovely wee touches like toilet roll, cleaning stuff were provided which I always find disappointing when hiring holiday homes and you get a days worth! Easy access to town and very helpful owners. Would love to go back.

Mrs Turnbull, March 2020

Great large house which was very clean and modern.. Everything was as we expected from the advert and reviews and we would rebook ifcor when visiting Oban again

Mr Doherty, February 2020

A lovely house with a great kitchen and plenty of space! Loved the wood fire and the table for playing games!

Mr Sharp, February 2020

Nice cottage up the top of Oban.. 10minute walk sees you in middle of town for restaurants. Stay would be ideal in the summer as using the conservatory not ideal in winter as it is quite cold. Very clean. Some restaurant recommendations from the owners would be a good addition to the welcome manual.

We had a great break at the villa.. Six of us stayed in here. Villa was immaculate with plenty of space for us all. The owner was lovely and very helpful and welcoming. As we all love oban this was an extra bonus for us. Would think about booking this villa in the future.

Mrs Harvey, December 2019

The villa had everything we needed for our short break.. It is very spacious but the lounge has a wood burner that makes it very cozy. We even had a regular visitor - a red squirrel.

.A very comfortable, well-equipped house which was in an ideal position for exploring Oban and surrounding area. Everything seemed to have been thought of to make our stay as pleasant as possible . If I had a minor quibble it was a lack of medium sized saucepans with lids but otherwise a superb kitchen. Some more garden chairs would be useful as there was only one chair plus a combined picnic table/bench.

Mrs Stenhouse

We were all delighted with the property.. It was very comfortable and we all felt so at home. There was lots of kitchen utensils etc that you could cook no problem.

Pictures did not do this house justice, easily worth the money .. Extremely spacious and all facilities, utilities and furnishings to make this house feel like home . Fantastic location to boot Highly recommended and will be going back .

Mr Cottrell

I have visited Oban many times and was not able to discern the properties exact position from the published information.. The property does not have any coastal view. However the property is outstanding and makes up for any short comings by way of lack of view. It is a very peaceful position. We all enjoyed our holiday very much.

Amazing holiday rental the pictures just don’t do it justice! It’s huge! Superb living and kitchen areas, comfy and immaculate bedrooms and bathrooms! Spent a week here with my family and we were all absolutely delighted with the Villa. It really really felt like home! Will 100% be back!

Mr Ingram

A large, comfortable house in a very quiet area of Oban, within easy reach of the centre (some gradients to keep the heart healthy).. We enjoyed our stay here. Oban is also a great centre for exploring the surrounding areas as far as the Crinan Canal and Glencoe.

Mr Wood

A hidden jewel..

Mr Crickmore

The house was was very comfortable and spacious and we all enjoyed staying there.. It is only a 10-15 min walk into the town centre however it is a steep climb walking back up. The kitchen was generally well equipped but could do with a few more implements especially a large mixing bowl and a frying slice

Mrs Nickles

March 2018

Accommodation is excellent, with lots of extra little touches to make visitors feel at home.. We found Sykes holidays a very professional company who made booking straightforward. Oban is a lovely place with lots to do.

Mrs Smith

Family members met at Woodland Villa from all around the world to celebrate a 'Big' birthday.. The house was perfect for we 6 adults with more than everything we needed in a beautiful setting in a fabulous area of Scotland. We had not expected the standards of comfort and luxury that we experienced.

Miss Mainprize

Our holiday was the best self catering we have been in.. Description was to a tee, location was perfect for a 17min walk into town, although steep roads , maybe not suitable if anyone has walking difficulties. All facilities were great, especially the wood burner, used it every night. Comfortable clean and quiet. Can not fault it at all. Oban is a lovely place , friendly people plenty to do, restaurants and eating places were really nice, and lovely seafood. Will certainly return.

Could do with a tumble dryer as weather was bad and took ages to dry clothes

Woodland Villa is large,clean & with all the modern amenities, loads of parking space and most of all its very peaceful and the owners who live in the next cottage are a lovely couple. Bedrooms have loads of wardrobe space extra blankets if needed and there are enough bathrooms to accommodate a large family. Good Wi-Fi and whopping 55 inch smart TV for those nights that you may stay in It’s about a 15 minute walk into Oban with its several bars and restaurants, also a large Tesco for any supplies you may need. Its uphill back if you’ve got the stamina, however, if not a cab from the town centre will set you back £4. Oban is also a good touring base, Inveraray, Fort William and Glencoe are just an hour’s drive away and the ferries sail from Oban to most of the Inner Hebrides, we enjoyed our stay, despite the rain. Would definitely recommend.

This property is a great base for exploring the wonderful west coast and nearby islands, standing at the top of the hill, McCaigs Tower a short walk away. The house is spacious and was spotlessly clean, light and airy. The only things that let this property down are the kitchen utensils, only one decent saucepan, the others either didn't have lids or were very worn. Not enough mugs and plates that looked old and crazed. One of the dining chairs was very worn and a cushion in the lounge had a large tear in it. Spending a few pounds on some decent kitchen equipment and mending/replacing some of the furniture would make this property outstanding. All this said, we thoroughly enjoyed our holiday at the Woodland Villa and wouldn't hesitate in recommending it.

March 2016

A lovely home within walking distance of Oban and surrounded by stunning countryside. We will definitely be going back.

This property was just perfect - it was exactly what we were looking for, and in a great location. The log fire in the living room added to the experience. The showers were also amazing, as were the warm beds. Thanks!

Stayed here over Xmas with friends there were 6 of us in total. Great kitchen well fitted out so we were able to cook Xmas dinner easily , nice dining area, big lounge and conservatory. There are 3 generous bedrooms 1 ensuite with a separate bathroom upstairs and a shower room downstairs....pleasingly the house is very warm throughout. It is about a 10 minute walk downhill into Oban town centre....and there is the distillery , bars and restaurants there ....I can recommend Norries Chip Shop....fantastic ! I would suggest getting a cab back late at night as it is dark and uphill....but only about £4 to £5 in a cab.

Woodland Villa is in a lovely location with restful view of hill from the bedroom window. Very spacious accommodation with comfortable furniture and fittings.

It was very relaxing, lovely place to chill.

November 2014

It was a weekend break to visit family in the Oban area - considering it was November the weather for the most part was good. Oban in the sunshine is a stunning place to be and with our accommodation set above Oban and near McCaig's tower, once we were out walking into town, the views across to Kerrera and the Isle of Mull were magnificent. The heating and lighting was always comfortable and a special mention for the wood burning stove - just lovely! What's not to like it was great, most enjoyable and the accommodation 4 star.

Mrs Roknic

August 2014

The house and its setting were beautiful. It was a fantastic base to explore Oban, Mull and Iona as well as the surrounding areas. The house had plenty of room for 6 adults - we were never falling over each other. It was well equipped and spotlessly clean. We had rented the house to show visiting Canadian family some more of Scotland and they loved it. The sun shone every day so the scenery was at its spectacular best.

Miss McLoughlin

July 2014

The house was beautiful and lots of room in it. Was only a few minutes drive to all shops and the sea front.
