Blackmount House exceeded our expectations. It was remote, yet had all the comforts of home. We enjoyed the seclusion and serenity. Ideal for a quiet getaway, yet only a very short drive from the centre of Oban. This property really is a home away from home!

We had a great time and it’s a lovely house. The house was clean and comfortable for six people. More outside seating would have been nice but we got unusually lucky with the weather!
The ad mentioned it was a 30 minute walk into Oban - maybe as the crow flies but it would be down a very steep single track road which would make the walk very unsafe. A car is needed.
Additionally we have small dogs and whilst the property was great for them, the garden is not secure for small animals as they can get through the gaps in the fence.
Blackmount house was a wonderful week away and we would recommend it! Just be prepared to drive into town and keep an eye on small dogs in the garden.

Thank you for your review Emily, we agree Blackmount is a lovely home. The property is enclosed around the boundary, unfortunately we can not guarantee gaps that pets maybe able to squeeze through but I'm pleased this wasn't a major issue. The walks in our area are usually up and down due to the terrain and the mountains, something walkers visit the area for, but this is not always for everyone so can appreciate for yourselves a car was a better option :)
We look forward to welcoming you back in the future :D

Great base for visiting Western Scotland with a five minute drive to Oban. Very spacious with everything provided for an enjoyable stay.
Just a suggestion….
The hearth by wood burner a trip hazard (we all tripped on it) especially coming in through outside doors.

We had a lovely week as 5 adults plus dog in this spacious house. Nice to arrive to a welcome basket after a long drive. Really comfortable furnishings and the kitchen was great to cook and be in. We enjoyed the hot tub and sauna as well as local walks and outings. Views are of the hills and trees, which is restful.

We can't speak highly enough of Black Mount - we are a family of 6 + dog and had the best holiday we could hope for. The whole family loved it. Gorgeous location - spotted deer and pine martens outside the house. Lovely dog walks just minutes away from the house - make sure you find the Cathedral of Trees!....House was so comfortable, had everything we needed not forgetting the sauna, outside bath (great experience - couldn't decide whether to read or just look at the view!) + hot tub... Added bonus NO MIDGES!.. Thank you...

We had an amazing 10 days holiday at Black Mount. The house and the location was just perfect and exactly what we needed. The facilities were excellent with the combination of sauna, hot tub and not forgetting the outside bath! The location was peaceful and the area around was excellent for walking the dog. Oban was near enough so you could get the vibres of town life if you wanted. There was so much to do - too much choice in some ways. We will definitely be back - thank you

The six of us and our dog had a wonderful holiday at Blackmount House. It is a fabulous property in a great spot, 5 min drive from Oban. The house is really well kitted out and the rooms are a generous size. The photos online don't do it justice as it is a lovely house and everything is of a very high standard. We used the hot tub twice which was delightful. We contacted the host once and they were super responsive. The weather was warm and there was just a little rain. Nearby, we can recommend the pony trekking at Achnalarig, the islands of Kerrera, Seil and Easdale, and the Dunollie Castle. Oban is a lovely town too.

Just back from a weeks stay in this beautiful house. Loved the wood fired hot tub, sauna and outdoor bath which my family and I used during our stay. The house is furnished beautifully. All the bedding and towels are of a good quality. We had great weather during our stay so were able to sit out in the garden and admire the view. Great walks on your door step. Oban is a lovely place with plenty pubs, restaurants and takeaways. Walked into Oban from the house a few times and got a taxi back. Cost about £7 and always easy to get one. Would definitely recommend a stay at Black Mount.

We really enjoyed our stay and will certainly consider a return visit. The house is beautiful with many amenities. It is located in a peaceful glen only a short 5 minute drive from Oban.
In the kitchen a spatula and draining spoon for getting, eg cooked vegetables from a pan would be a welcome addition.
When we arrived the fridge hadn’t been cleaned properly and the dishwasher hadn’t been emptied.
The provided bin liners were way too small and we bought our own.
However all these are very minor points, which can easily be improved upon.
Overall we’d highly recommend the property to you others.

Thank you very much, Kevin for your review and feedback, appreciate you taking the time.
I just want to give our sincere apologies regarding the cleanliness when you arrived! We strive for a great standard and we failed on this occasion, very sorry. I have forwarded this onto the owner and cleaner who has apologised profusely, she had a lot going on that day and can promise it wont happen again.
We do hope to have you return some day, it was a pleasure having you.
Thanks again for choosing to stay with us.
Warm regards,

A brilliant stay, in a great house, in a marvellous location.

My fiancée and I had a splendid time staying at Blackmount house. The accommodation is tastefully decorated, really spacious and has a very well equipped kitchen. The view from the back of the property is lovely, and it is only a very short drive from Oban, though with the view, it feels like it could be much more remote!
The house is just lovely and considering how many it sleeps, is great value. The wood burner in the living room was really nice. After a long day exploring its the perfect spot of relax with a book.
There is lots to do in the area. As keen walkers, you are spoiled for choice. We did a couple of munroes, then spent the evening in the wood fired hot tub - the perfect way to unwind. We even got very lucky and were able to see starts from the hot tub.
It was a pretty wonderful experience.
Oban is a must stop for all sea food fans too. We had some great food, both out in Oban and in the kitchen at Blackmount.
Its a short trip to a great fish shop by the harbour. There are some superb sea trips from Oban too. We got the ferry on this occasion to kerrera, and ate at the marina bar there. That island was idyllic. with great views back across to Oban across the picturesque marina, it really is an absolute gem of a place and we were lucky with the weather.
We highly recommend staying here and intend to return!
