The River Lodge, Oban

Really lovely setting for a relaxing getaway, the owner is brilliant, just a down to earth chap who is on hand should anything arise which it did not. The kitchen has everything you would need and whilst we didn't use the hot tub it was always maintained and ready should we want to use it. The cabin feels extremely private and secluded despite being on the owners property which is lovely, and the area is full of wildlife. Shops and amenities are just a 15min drive away in Oban, which also offers ferries over to nearby islands such as Kerrera. Loch Lomond is just in reaching distance too, around 90120mins away and is well worth it for a couple of days out especially the birds of prey centre, and can even go kayakingcanoeing on the loch too which was well worth it. Walks are abundant from easy strolls around various lochs to halffull day hikes up various munro's. Slightly smaller than a Munro, the cobbler Ben Arthur was also a highlight, offering stunning views over loch lomond and beyond the left path up also verges on a rock climbing scramble which was highly enjoyable but not so enjoyed by the legs. Overall was a great stay!

Wonderful place. Had a problem with hot water during the stay but Gordon was spot on, got it sorted out quickly. Ideal place to stay, easy to get to Oban for shops and entertainment. Perfect break from day to day life!

Very well equipped, modern accommodation in a stunning location. Peaceful and tranquil, no better place to recharge and destress

Had a great time, considering the weather was dreadful. Was spotlessly clean, everything you could want or need was provided. Only down side was, never got to use the hot tube as the steps down to it, were lethal ,very steep and the fallen leaves made it very slippery. Gordon as always was straight there to ensure everything was okay.. Start of the year stayed in the 'Log Cabin' still can't decide which was better. Can't recommend enough. If you can, rush and book NOW!!

This is the most beautiful setting I have ever stayed in, the photos really dont do it justice, it's absolutely perfect! ! We will be back

We had a great holiday. The lodge was everything we had hoped for. It was wonderful!

Third time we have been to glen eucher once in the main house twice in the river lodge. It wont be the last time probably the most stunning and peaceful location we have ever stayed

Great place to stay. Would definitely recommend

A welcome letter explaining the yellow water out the tap and in the hot tub and ... A welcome letter explaining the yellow water out the tap and in the hot tub and the WiFi code plus some things nearby to see and do would make it even better

Great accommodation and excellent base for our week's holiday. Had everything needed, very clean and comfortable. Would recommend.

We had a wonderful week here. The lodge is in an idyllic setting, was comfortable and well equipped. We couldn't fault it.

Great property in a very secluded relaxing beautiful setting. Amazing even though it rained. Hot tub is covered and maintained by Gordon the owner who was available via phone for any questions which he answered and was very helpful. Book with absolute confidence you will not be disappointed!!!

Lovely accommodation, it as everything you need for your stay. Beautiful location, would highly recommend.

Awesome place to stay

Beautiful lodge. Very clean. It has everything you need. The little heater warms the cabin quickly. There is plenty storage in the bedroom. It really felt like being at home and having a place for our things. Even in the bathroom, there is lovely shelves. The hot tub was bonus. Very private area. Oban is a short drive away. We had a great week here in October.

What an amazing Riverside Lodge above expectations, location was perfect for a relaxing get away from the world. Lodge was beautiful scenery was stunning. Hot tub in the woods wow perfect. Best holiday home we have stayed in

The location is great, lodge had everything and more that you needed. After a day out coming back to the hot tub was wonderful, clean, hot, and just what we needed. Gordon was very helpful and kept the hot tub in tip top condition. We hope to come back just wish it was closer to us!

We loved our week at the lodge and didn't want to leave! Beautiful location. Peaceful and secluded. The property was well equipped and very comfortable. Exceeded our expectations. I would stay here again if in the area. Thank you for a wonderful holiday.

Rails to the hot tub , dressing gown , towel hooks at hot tub, information booklet

River Lodge was all and more than we had hoped for. We enjoyed two weeks in this beautiful peaceful setting. The Lodge was comfortable and well equipped. Gordon the manager was so helpful and courteous, nothing was too much trouble for him. We had the best time at River Lodge and exploring the Oban area.

Property really, Gordon very helpful would have liked some soft lighting or ... Property really, Gordon very helpful would have liked some soft lighting or dimmer switch on the lights in the living area, very minor suggestion

Fantastic rural property but within easy reach of Oban if visiting the islands. Very quiet and private and very well equipped with everything you might need. And a lovely hot tub in the woods to help you relax in the evenings ! Recommended.

The lodge was just perfect for a week of relaxation. The kitchen is well equipped and the bed and sofa are very comfy, sitting in the hot tub on an evening was perfect. Gordon was really helpful, we had an issue with the shower but it was sorted quickly. We visited the small islands that are an hour from the lodge, all beautiful. We enjoyed ourselves so much that we've booked again so next year.

We loved the location and how private it was. It is right on the river, and next to some hiking trails, and it is pretty close to Oban and other surrounding attractions. We loved the wood burner and made plenty of use out of the kitchen as we cooked every night of our stay. The shower is not the best, as the heating controls are fiddly and could use some improvements to make it that much more special. I also think it would be good if there was a sign that explained the slightly brown water as that was a worry until I googled it. We only used the hot tub once on our stay, as it was slightly dirty and quite chlorinated. We loved the atmosphere of the lodge, including the lighting outside, but there should be a lamp in the lounge to give a more homely feel. Would recommend!

I stayed over for the week with my girlfriend and it was fantastic, nicely situated so you can go into oban for food and drinks or be out in the wilderness exploring. Would definitely recommend this one

Beautiful lodge,quiet peaceful location,spotlessly clean,very cosy,super comfy bed and had everything in it you could possibly need. Loved the fact wood was provided for log fire and Gordon the caretaker was brilliant,made sure all the steps were salted to our lodge and hot tub as it had snowed.loved it .

We stayed Christmas 2022 and loved every minute of it. Lodge was very clean and well equipped, even supplied with unlimited logs for log burner. The ground keeper Gordon I think, was very helpful and informative. We enjoyed our stay so much we booked for next Christmas. This lodge is a credit to owners who obviously have an interest in making sure their guests enjoy their time there. The bottle of bubbly and chocolates were also a nice touch.

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at the River Lodge, which had everything we required. Really comfy bed and the wood burner made it very cosy. Smart TV was a bonus, allowing us to watch the rugby.

Superb place to chill with the very helpful Gordon and his gorgeous dogs on hand

We had a lovely relaxing week at River Lodge. The lodge had everything we needed. Only a short drive to Oban for shops, restaurants etc. Yes the water had a brown tinge to it but it was absolutely fine. Had a problem with the T.V but it was sorted straight away by Gordon, who is extremely friendly, helpful and knowledgable. Hot tub was lovely. Just be careful to turn towards the house and not the log cabin on arrival. All in all a thumbs up from us.

A fantastic location and a great base to tour this part of Western Scotland. The site Manger was friendly and very helpful. Would be useful if the Lodge had a washing machine.

If you could fix the weather, would be wonderful, otherwise all good.

Our holiday did not get off to the expected start, after driving105 miles. The Directions that I printed from your website stated After turning into the property bear left as the road divides and this road divides and this road leads around the back of Glen Euchar House to the property IT DOES NOT LEAD TO THE RIVER LODGE. Instead we came to a steep narrow track, that we expected to lead to the property, it was a dead end, and required a multiple point turn with my car making contact with tree branches my car and its paintwork, is inly 7 mouths old. Did anyone proof read these instructions? This is our first rental in Scotland England France Portugal Ireland Germany Canada USA where a local information folder Doctor Dentist Places to visit Restaurants Food shopping etc was was not provided. Due to circumstances beyond the owners control it was is, a BT problem, we had no Broadband WiFi during our stay. The TV channels on offer on both TVs were very limited, as an access card was required for the majority of channels which was not supplied. A DVD player with no remote control select TV output was suppled towards the end of our stay to compensate for lack of Internet etc it appeared to play our DVDs, but it could not communicate with any of the TVs HDMI inputs, it was stuck in ARC output mode. This was not our usual most enjoyable experience of of Sykes Cottages.

The Lodge is a great place to stay. It is in a wonderful location if you want to relax and enjoy the splendid stunning Scottish countryside. The walk through the Glen to Loch Scammadale is a wonderful walk from the Lodge. The Lodge is very well equipped, comfy bed and lovely hot tub. The only downside for us was the shower, we couldnt get it to run any hotter than Luke warm. We would have also liked some lamps in the sitting area. We brought some plastic glasses to use in the hot tub, as we didnt want to use glass for safety.

Perfect situation for a peaceful, relaxing holiday. Lodge very comfortable with everything provided, extra special having hot tub. Near Oban and many gardens to visit in the area. Caretaker very friendly & helpful.

Lovely location, quiet and relaxing. Ideal for touring the area and so much to see. The lodge was very comfortable and the wood burning stove was great especially this time of year. Loved the hot tub too , the dark skies were ideal for viewing the stars

Wonderful, cosy, secluded lodge with all mod cons and a hot tub bonus. One of the comfiest beds I've slept in. Husband and I would definitely return. Some hooks on hot tub surround would be welcome for hanging towel and bath robe on...but that's one small detail in an otherwise delightful holiday home.

The property was well equipped, clean and homely. To say the setting is idyllic is an understatement. The hot tub by the river is simply wonderful. Would definitely stay again. Thanks for a great weekend

My wife and I have stayed in 5 similar cabins over the past 18 months and this one was by far the best. We had a difficult 2021 and wanted to get away from it all over the New Year. This property provided that and more absolutely brilliant. The outside hot tub, the scenery, the log fire...everything about it was magical. We will definitely be back.
