A great B&B experience is made by the owner. In this case the owner, Margaret, made all the difference for us. Yes, the setting of Ards House just across the road from the Loch with the stunning sunsets is gorgeous. The views from our room overlooking the Loch were beautiful, and the breakfasts included the best ingredients available from haggis... More

On a recent visit to Oban, we were very fortunate to stay at Ards House. We were welcomed so graciously by Margaret, our hostess, and shown to a beautiful, clean and comfortable room overlooking the water. From suggesting places to eat (we tried the nearby Glue Pot), contacting ferry companies on our behalf, serving us a delicious breakfast, to helping... More

We stayed at Ards House for 3 nights in mid-June and had a fantastic time - Margaret's hospitality is first class, not its better than first class, its out of this world. We were made to feel welcome as soon as we stepped through the door. We chose one of the rooms at the front, not only for the view,... More

We stayed at Ards House after a self-catering holiday went disastrously wrong. Margaret saved the day and took us under her wing. She booked us a table at a restaurant in Oban which was much needed. Our room was stunning, spotlessly clean with very luxurious furnishings and bedding, not to mention the views! Margaret looked after our fridge supplies and... More
