Very spacious loch-side house, breathtaking views, ideal for family & adventures


Our house is the most spacious of any accommodation in the area.

It is perfectly suited for families’ holidays and get-togethers, those guests seeking outdoors adventure, and for everyone, a brilliant place to relax and enjoy the location’s stunning scenery, the breathtaking sunsets and the myriad of stars on a cloudless night.

Local businesses offer bike and kayak rentals, allowing guests to explore the local area and enjoy the views and activities right outside Tigh Na Breac's doorstep. The house provides a tranquil retreat yet remains conveniently close to Oban for shopping and amenities.

Upon entry, the hallway features coat hooks, shoe storage, bench seating, and an adjoining restroom with a shower.

The heart of the home is the expansive vaulted living space (8m x 8m), highlighted by a floating hearth and a substantial log burner. It boasts ample comfortable seating for 14 people, complete with a sound system compatible with CDs and iPods, and an extensive CD collection for your perusal and use. There is also a large collection of books and games for your enjoyment.

The modern kitchen has extensive storage, a double drawer dishwasher, fridge, freezer, an induction hob with five rings, two large ovens, and a sizeable grill. In addition, there's a Quooker tap for instant hot water, negating the need for a kettle, alongside a filter coffee machine. There is ample crockery, cutlery, and glasses. The kitchen is very well equipped for all you will need. It is a fantastic place to cook whilst enjoying the company of other guests.

The dining area has a sizable refectory table that sits 14 comfortably, with stunning views of the Loch and sunsets.

The house comprises 7 bedrooms, including 5 doubles and 2 convertible twins/doubles, all featuring super-king-size beds, while the master bedroom delights with a bed measuring 7' x 6'6" and a luxurious en-suite bathroom. A total of 6 bathrooms are available throughout the property.

An additional TV room offers cozy seating, a smart TV, DVD player, a cupboard full of DVD’s to keep all ages entertained and this room also has a log burner.

Outside a substantial 2.4m deck around three sides of the lower level Tigh na Breac, offering stunning views across the Loch, accessible via French doors from the TV Room, Master bedroom, and Baxter suite. There are two bench seats (cushions indoors) and some Director’s chairs to enjoy the space and views from the balcony, a fantastic place for an evening drink or a morning cup of coffee.

There is an additional snug/reading room with lots of books and a quiet area to relax and read.

For nature enthusiasts and otter spotters, the bay has been known for otter sightings, including solitary otters, mothers with cubs, and even, on rare occasions, the fathers. Although sightings are subject to weather and tide conditions and cannot be promised, many guests have captured remarkable videos and photographs.

For bird watchers, the house is a prime location to observe White-Tailed Sea Eagles, Buzzards, Eider Ducks, Goosanders, Red Breasted Merganser, Mallards, Herons, as well as rarer species such as Peregrine Falcons, Merlin’s, and Golden Eagles, there are many other birds to be spotted. Further up the loch there is a seal colony, and they often play in the bay in front of the house.

Fishing opportunities are bountiful both in sea and freshwater, with notable catches recorded in Loch Etive. Anglers at the house have easy access to rich fishing spots, including where shoals of mackerel have been caught from the shore. Boat hire is available through Taynuilt Boat Hire, with delivery options straight to the nearby jetty.

Had a great week!
A great property in a fabulous location and very well equipped too. Andrew was extremely helpful and responsive and we were made to feel welcome and valued. Red deer stags walking past your front door, a sighting of a pine marten, eagles soaring overhead and an otter swimming in the mirror like water. A little taste of paradise!

A Christmas Getaway
The approach to the property alone sets the scene for an experience. The property is lovely with so much room and many amenities. The view across the loch was breathtaking. Lucky enough to see deer and seals from the bedroom windows. The house stayed warm through the storms which even for the area were pretty extreme according to the locals. Absolutely nothing requires complaint it was a brilliant property. Definitely great for hide and seek lol

A very lovely spot
We - a group of three families - had a thoroughly enjoyable stay at this house. It's lochside location was beautiful and collectively we enjoyed many hours scanning the water for the sea otters which sadly proved elusive, although we were visited by seals, heron and red deer. There was ample room to accommodate all of us across the various living spaces when the weather turned inclement. Would recommend without hesitation.

Beautiful and truly awesome!
This house is HUGE! It offers privacy for larger groups. The home is fairly isolated, but in the best possible way. We travelled through the region without difficulty. There is abundant wildlife and walking paths around the house. Down the road a wee bit there is a honesty box with homemade baked goods. This area of Scotland is a huge hidden gem. I recommend hiking to Gylen Castle ruins on the Isle of Kerrera, a short ferry ride from Oban. Circling back to the house, I can not think of words to adequately express how wonderful it is!

Lovely house, overall great stay
Property is as described and extremely nice. Well stocked and great provision of facilities. There are many knick knacks in the house which mean the house isn't overall that child friendly. The Loch and views are great. The outside of the house could be improved by a bit of TLC and some small elements could be finished off inside the house. There was a concern about the water during our stay and so we had to purchase water for all of our consumption. Overall a nice house and a good stay.

Great house for a gathering
It is rare to find such a house on the West coast that has such great plumbing! We had seven bedrooms with six bath/shower rooms all with hot towel rails. The underfloor heating meant we were always warm and we had no hesitation about adventuring out in all weathers, knowing we could have a hot shower and get all our kit dry when we returned from our adventures. This house really is set up for big family gatherings, it made our stay really comfortable which meant everyone was happy!

This home is amazing, so lucky to have stayed there. Very well equipped kitchen, lots of space for teenagers and younger kids to do their own thing but then plenty of room for all 12 of us to get together and enjoy a very special time. We’ve biked, hiked, paddle boarded, ran, swam, seen otters and deer. Host was very helpful with info about local areas.

Lakes Swimmers on Tour
Bound by a swimming commonality we’ve had some excellent weeks away over the last few years & this was no exception. Lots of space for the 10 of us, warm, comfortable & well equipped for our home cooking. Plus a water system that coped with us all having showers at the same time after dips in the bay! After the first dip on the evening of arrival, 12.2 deg in the loch, spotted an otter … then looked out from the balcony to see the red deer strolling down the road, next day a golden eagle … a full Scottish experience. The weather wasn’t great but when you have such a good place to come back to you can do anything. Even a bus service! £2.40 return to Oban! This was a great place for us.

An amazing 10 days in an amazing house.
An amazing 10 days in an amazing house. Stunning location. We hired a boat for a week from TFC across the bay, to explore the Loch. Fishing, walking, seal spotting, and visited by stags on several occasions. So remote, yet with a bus stop outside the property allowing easy access to Oban, 3 or 4 services per day. Actually situated close to a low-key working quarry, but you honestly wouldn't know it, impact to us was zero. The house itself wants for nothing. Spacious enough to give a party of 12 their own areas, whilst the communal floor allows for great get-togethers. Kitchen equipped to an exceptionally high standard. For the only time we needed Andy to help us out with a favour, he was immediately available and overly accommodating. Thanks for sharing the use of your lovely property.

House on stilts by Loch Etive
We were a group of 10 - 3 families, with 5 adults and 5 children aged 5, 8, 9, 9 & 10. The kids loved the ‘big house’. It has a very quirky layout and they all had fun playing hide and seek, even the adults joined in. The house is very well stocked with everything you could possibly need. The kitchen is fantastic for cooking for large groups and there’s an endless supply of cutlery and crockery, pots, dry ingredients and even stuff for baking. We saw stags, seals and otters right on the doorstep and had amazing views over the Loch. We were there for the first week of July and had beautiful weather with no midges, although they were out in force when we were packing up the car to leave. The house is in a stunning location and very remote but within an easy drive of Oban. If you’re looking for a beach there’s a lovely one at Ganavan Bay, also a lovely pebbley beach at Dunstaffnage Castle good for stone skimming. Halfway down the road from the house is a wee home baking stall with an honesty box. We got lovely fresh scones (supplied with napkin, knife, butter and jam!) and home made empire biscuits. There was no garden space outside for the kids but they made do with rock climbing and scrambling about at the back of the house. They also loved using the many pairs of binoculars in the house to look for wildlife. I’d recommend this house for big groups, ,especially if you love cooking, the kitchen is amazing. We got a Tesco delivery on the first night which I’d arranged a couple of weeks in advance - the closest supermarket is in Oban. We had a fantastic holiday in this house and I would thouroughly recommend it.

The property is fantastic. Really spacious, well maintained and finished to a high spec. All mod cons and equipment are available. Most importantly it has incredible views of the loch and is surrounded by amazing countryside. Pretty special to see stags wandering about just outside the house, plus a seal or two in the loch. Great base for visiting Oban, Glencoe and many other fantastic locations. Highly recommend.

Phenomenal
This was the most spectacular house and we've had such a wonderful week, many thanks indeed. The setting is incomparable with uninterrupted views across Loch Etvie from all directions - utterly glorious. We were also blown away by the beauty of this house, there's so much space (ideal for two teenagers) and so many exciting nooks and crannies to discover (which delighted the 5-year old). The quality of everything is second to none and the house is wonderfully laid out. The bird-watcher among us was thrilled by the abundance of sightings (including eagles above the house) and the daily otter and seal visits were brilliant! We also had the most fantastic day when we hired a motor boat for the day from Taynuilt (delivered virtually to the house) and explored the loch independently. Many thanks indeed Andrew for the most marvellous stay!!
