Elaine and Dave
Skerryvore is an attractive 2 bedroom semi-detached house in a quiet residential area, about a mile from Oban town centre. We have one double bedroom and one twin room. The living / dining area is spacious and well lit with a lovely view down Glen Shellach. We have a sofa bed in the living room, an infant travel cot and an inflatable single mattress that can be used if needed. We have an office room with desk, swivel chair and reading chair and lamp. The wifi is pretty reliable. The kitchen is a good size and well equipped. Parking for 2 cars in driveway, or a short bus journey / 25 minute walk into town. Pets are welcome, and guests can use the garden to exercise their dogs. We live next door, and share the driveway and back garden. All other guest areas are private. We have recently had an electric vehicle home charger installed, which guests are welcome to use. We just ask for a small fee to cover the cost, and to let us know when you would like to use it.
Myself, my partner Dave, and our 2 children have been welcoming guests to our home in Oban for the past 7 years. We enjoy meeting people from different parts of the world, and guests are welcome to call round to our part of the house if they need anything, or just to say hello. I work as a teacher and Dave works at the nearby hospital as an audiologist.
We are a short drive from Oban train station and ferry terminal. Guests who wish to go on a day trip to one of the islands, as foot passengers, can leave their car parked in our driveway, and take a bus or taxi into town. Taxis cost about six pounds to go into Oban centre. Oban is famous for its seafood, and there are a couple of good restaurants on the piers. The dramatic scenery of Glen Coe is under an hour away. These are just some of the highlights of the area, making Oban a popular tourist destination throughout the year.
