We had a most fabulous stay at Aspen Lodge in Oban with spectacular mountain scenery from our balcony. Carol was a most wonderful host whom my son had a wonderful time chatting with her about whisky as she used to work in Oban Distillery. She gave him a lot of tips about whisky and also talked about her family who were also in the whisky business. There are 2 ways of getting to Aspen Lodge - one via the rolling hills with animals and highland cows roaming freely and the other route was via a golf club., Our GPS took us via the rolling hills route and at one stage we seemed to getting away farther and farther so panicked and turned back. Luckily, we met a lady along the way who came across Aspen Lodge signage and told us to go back the way we went and assured us it was the right track. Once we reached Aspen Lodge, our breath was taken away by the magnificent room decor and gorgeous mountain scenery. We had a balcony and it was so relaxing to sit outside and admire and enjoy the scenery. My son even did his stretching exercises on the balcony. One morning, we had breakfast on the terrace just to soak in the view. The decor is very classy and tastefully furnished with an amazing bathroom. We made a trip by foot passenger ferry to Isle of Mull and for those thinking of bringing the car onto the ferry, please book your car in advance (vehicle registration number is required). We went as a passenger (without the car) and when we arrived, took the bus from the ferry terminal to Tobermory (where my son joined a whisky distillery tour). You need to decide how long you want to stay in Tobermory which has some nice shopping along the shore so that you can decide when to book the return ferry (need to factor in the 40/45m bus ride from Tobermory to the ferry terminal to catch the return ferry to Oban. Isle of Mull is very and if have the car can drive around and even stay over. Another island to visit is Kerrera which is all waking in a circular trail or you can rent bicycles from a shed (saw this on Youtube). A good and lovely place for lunch short distance away from Oban on the way to Portree is Poppies Cafe., Lovely cafe by the lake and food is also nice. I would highly recommend Aspen Lodge and Carol is a wonderful host who is very nice to chat with and will offer ideas and suggestions to make your stay at Oban a most memorable one, starting first and foremost with her awesome hospitality. We left behind a bag of clothes and Carol quickly messaged us and luckily, we were still in Oban, so went back to collect, thanks to her quick service!
