Clan Cottages

This is a delayed review from June 2024. 

This was our 2nd stay at Clan Cottages. As before the booking process was very easy and smooth. We stayed in the same cottage as last year so were familiar with the property and how everything worked on site. 

The site is close to Oban but as it overlooks Loch Nell, you would never know that just an 8 minute drive away, you're at the local main shopping stores that serve Oban. It truly is the epitome of tranquillity.  

This is an ideal base for anyone who is looking for self catering accommodation while they tour the stunning West coast of Scotland.  I have no doubt, we'll be back again next year for our third visit.

The cottages and their location is fantastic and very private. The cottage itself with its stone walls and thatched roof was full of character. We stayed in No.4 which had two bedrooms which were excellent sizes and the bed linen and towels of high quality. The ensuite and family bathroom were very clean and well presented and the early morning views out of the kitchen windows were wonderful overlooking the river. Amazing stay and we would not hesitate to stay here again, in fact hubby is looking to book for next year already! 

We are currently in our second week in the 1 bedroom cottage. We were amazed at how big it is, with a lounge/ dinner , kitchen , bedroom and bathroom on the ground floor and a large mezzanine lounge, with a beautiful pine ceiling , upstairs.

The cottage is one of only 5 I'm this rural setting and looks onto Loch Nell and is surrounded by rolling hills, sheep and cows! 

Each cottage has it's own garden area complete with bird feeders that attract a variety of pretty birds. Ducks wander freely around the gardens. We also were able to star gaze due to the lack of light pollution.

Mary, the owner, is a lovely pleasant lady who we had a super chat with and she left a lovely welcome pack of tea, coffee,  biscuits and wine.

It's an ideal place to stay to explore Oban and beyond while having peace and quiet to come back to and a fully equipped kitchen if you choose to self cater.  Highly recommen this little piece of paradise.

The cottage was very comfortable and had everything needed for a short break. Rooms were great, super beds and well fitted out. Nothing to much trouble for the owner Mary who was on hand to offer advice or solve any issues. 

The location is brilliant on the loch side and well secluded if you are looking for a break away from the hustle and bustle and the nature on offer is terrific. Plenty good walking on the doorstep.

Oban is literally a ten minute drive away so plenty on hand for eating out or sightseeing.

Happy to recommend this fab accomodation

Been twice absolutely wonderful holiday, highly recommend.  Our cottage looked over Loch Nell, stunning views, with a Golden Eagle regularly flying over the hills.  Cottage was large with all amenities and spotless. 

Having spent many years touring Central Scotland on numerous holidays, We decided to change things up and start touring the West Coast. Having found Clan Cottages, we've found the ideal base to tour the coast as well as a number of the islands in the future. 

Clan Cottages is located a 10 minute drive from Oban itself. Although secluded and overlooking Loch Nell, visitors can access a number of large food stores such as Tesco, Lidl and M&S on the road between the accommodation and Oban. A 10 minute drive will lead you to Oban seafront and all that has to offer. 

We stayed in Cottage 2 - Clan MacKenzie and it was amazing. Stunning property inside and out, which is fully appointed to a very modern standard with great traditional touches. Great mix of modern and traditional in our opinion. The surrounding area is beautiful. So quiet during the day and night, with zero light pollution which makes the night sky amazing to look at....weather permitting of course!

The bedroom is very well appointed with a comfortable double bed. The shower in the adjacent bathroom was hot and powerful which is exactly what you want. The kitchen is great with every modern appliance you will need. We had breakfast every morning indoors overlooking the loch. A bird table outside the window ensures a constant stream of entertainment from the local fauna. 

The highlight indoors is the mezzanine level. It's huge and comfortable all at the same time. There are various seating options which include a sofa bed if guests had children or more than two adults staying. The TV system has Netflix, Freesat and you tube as viewing options. Seat your self correctly and you get an amazing loch view at sunset and into the night. So relaxing. 

This accommodation was exactly what we were looking for. The secluded location easily makes you forget you're a 10 minute drive from a fishing port and all the amenities. That being said, you're 10 minutes away from whatever you need in Oban. 

Clan Cottages is located about a 2 hour drive from Glasgow Airport. Trust me, it's worth the drive. 

John and Mary, we can't thank you enough for a superb week, we're planning our return in 2024 already. 

Incredible location 
Spotless 
Perfectly appointed 
Superb hosts
A truly beautiful place to stay and visit
Highly recommended 
Beautiful location allows a perfect place to relax or get involved in many varied activities

Loved our stay here! Perfect location - far enough away from the small but busy town of Oban so really quiet and peaceful, yet close enough for local amenities/restaurants, as well as short travel distance to the likes of Mull and Glen Coe. The owners live in a house nearby and were really lovely and helpful. Views from the window overlook the beautiful Loch Nell, which can be explored by rowing boat. Couldn’t recommend this place enough, absolutely fantastic.

We are just back from a fantastic week long break in cottage 1 which has  three bedrooms  2 bathroom. This cottage has a front and back door with the most stunning views over looking beautiful countryside and Loch Nell. The cottage was immaculate with fantastic beds and really good quality bedding. The host Mary and John had thought of everything you could possibly need while staying there. They were so lovely and friendly and very attentive. They also leave wine , tea/coffee, biscuits, milk and so many other basic needs such as toilet paper black bags, salt n pepper and even fresh flowers. Home from home . 
We had sheep grazing in a field at the back if our garden and they would come to greet us in the morning and on our return in the afternoon. We had ducks and ducklings visit us too. The area is so quiet it can't help but make you feel so relaxed and you sleep like a baby. There is a boat by the Loch that John the owner said we could take out onto the Loch. We did and it was such fun . I even had a dip in the Loch which was amazing. 
There was only one negative and that was us having to leave it behind and go home.

Fantastic cottages with a lovely location next to the loch. Our boys loved the rowing boat provided ! Plenty of space in the cottages. Extremely clean and modern with large living area, bedrooms and bathrooms. Owners very welcoming and provided great advice on where to go  and eat locally.
