Not good for someone with allergies. Cute house overall and owners very responsive and helpful. Missing supplies like kleenex, paper towels, trash bags. Bathtub door seal did not work.

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!

Clean and organized space as advertised. Welcomed with a postcard, chocolate and dram of scotch! Great stay and had everything we needed. The recommendations for bars and food were spot on. Poppies for breakfast and live music at Markie Dans was great! Would stay again. Thank you

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.

Great location near beautiful Dunstaffnage Castlr
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.
