“Well worth considering”
Reviewed August 24, 2015 for a stay in July 2015

The house was as advertised. We were met with hot scones and a lovely smile. Lovely views and a trampoline for the kids. There were plenty of towels and a well equipped kitchen. Having used several such places over the last few years this is one of the best.

Good to hear the weather didn't spoil your celebration. The wood burning stove and the central heating would ensure you were cosy and comfortable in the farmhouse.

“Treasure!!!”
Reviewed December 7, 2014 for a stay in November 2014

This is a truly hidden gem - so close to Oban town and there so far away to have your privacy. Sandy is a wonderful owner who takes good care of you during the stay if you have a problem she is right there. The location is fanastic and cannot be better. You have your privacy, you have your peace, you have a 1 Class view and it takes you only 20 minutes to the city of Oban.
The house is tastefully furnished and clean. Views are magnificant!! Well be back for sure!

“A home from home - fantastic!”
Reviewed September 11, 2014 for a stay in September 2014

We booked a last minute trip to Oban, staying at the farmhouse with our 1yr old. The house is lovely, nicely decorated and homely. The kitchen is well equipped, bedrooms and bathroom immaculate and very comfortable. The wood burning stove is ideal for cosy evenings and downstairs offered plenty of room for the little one to play, as well as having the garden.
The views over the loch are breathtaking particularly early morning and by moonlight on a clear night, and the wildlife has been wonderful to see - deer in the garden on two occasions, as well as owls, bats and birds of prey.
We have had a peaceful, stress free stay on our very first family holiday. The house has been the perfect base for exploring the area, as well as the perfect place to relax.

Sandy, the owner, was welcoming, friendly and helpful. We leave tomorrow morning and will be sad to go! We'll definitely be back

It was a pleasure to welcome you to Seabank Farmhouse and I am delighted that your first family holiday was so enjoyable. Thanks very much for your kind comments and I hope we can welcome you back in the future.
The roe deer are getting very friendly and enjoy eating the shrubs in the garden!

“Didn't want to leave”
Reviewed July 25, 2014 for a stay in July 2014

Seabank Farmhouse features inspirational views from the dining room and includes an adequately appointed kitchen, comfortable furniture and beds and nearly everything needed for a relaxing and memorable stay. The house is tastefully decorated and the kitchen well-organized. There is a convenience store/post office a short drive away albeit via a single track road that carries the basics. You'll need to drive to Oban to obtain fresh meat (go to the butcher shop), a good selection of wines and fresh vegetables. Seabank is very well located to experience the Scottish Highlands and the Islands. Sandy is friendly, knowledgeable, and very easy to work with. We loved this property and enjoyed an amazing time in Scotland.

Thanks for your lovely comments. Tralee Beach is nearby and it is a popular walk with my guests. Everyone loves the cosy wood burning stove in the winter evenings. Hope to see you again at the Farmhouse. Regards Sandy
