Aspen Lodge - Your Premium Stay in Oban

Each of the 3 guest rooms at Aspen Lodge is individually styled and named after a Scottish castle, such as Stalker. Rooms include a private balcony or terrace with panoramic views of Ben Cruachan and the surrounding countryside. Bathrooms are equipped with underfloor heating, rain showers, and Arran toiletries.

Breakfast is homemade and prepared to order, with choices including full Scottish, vegetarian, and gluten-free options. Guests select their preferred dishes the night before, and breakfast is served on fine crockery in the dining room or on the terrace. An honesty bar offers a selection of Scotch whisky, gin, beer, and wine available for purchase.

Aspen Lodge is situated on the NCN78 cycling route, connecting Oban to Taynuilt and the Connel Bridge. Oban Whisky Distillery, Kilchurn Castle on Loch Awe, and Glencruitten Golf Course are within a 10-minute drive. The Oban ferry terminal, 2 miles away, provides access to the Inner Hebrides islands.

Guests have a private entrance and dedicated parking space directly outside their room. The property offers a sun terrace, picnic area, and outdoor seating overlooking the garden and mountains. Complimentary treats include locally made chocolates, bottled water, and fresh milk replenished daily.

Hiking, cycling, and fishing opportunities are accessible directly from the lodge, with the NCN78 cycle path running past the property. Guests can spot deer passing near the garden in the early morning. The lodge provides a secure storage area for bicycles and outdoor gear.
