“The fact that it is in walk in condition also adds to its charm, as it offers the fantastic possibility for a family to move in in time for Christmas, and spend the day together by the cosy fireplace.

“Holly Tree Cottage offers the best of both worlds in terms of accessibility – boasting a peaceful setting which guarantees privacy, while its close proximity to the thriving town of Oban provides the perfect mix of both urban and rural facilities.”
