What a stunning home from home the Aspen Lodge is. Very cosy rooms, spectacular views with gorgeous walks, a lovely breakfast and an honesty bar filled with drinks and snacks, it has everything to make for a perfect highlands getaway. Carol and Bobby are a lovely couple and were always on hand to have a chat - they helped make our stay extra special. We only wish we'd stayed longer!

If we could give the Aspen Lodge 10 Stars, we would! Our en suite room was extremely clean, terrifically spacious, our bed nicely comfortable and our breakfast was one of the best we had during our 8 day road trip through the Highlands of Scotland. Bar none, the views at the Aspen Lodge are incredibly beautiful. Our only complaint? We stayed only one night at the Aspen Lodge! We would definitely recommend the Aspen Lodge to anyone traveling in Oban. One tip, make sure you stay more than one night.
