We are very appreciative as we had booked late. Shona & Tanya were accommodating by letting us stay on such short notice. The house was in an amazing location, very clean and lovely home. Would recommend to friends & family!! A+++ for overall experience. We absolutely loved Oban and had an exceptional time. Thank you x ❤️ x
