Sea views and sleek, Scandi-style appeal bring travellers to Sean and Karen O’Byrne’s super-modern, eco-friendly house overlooking Loch Creran. Floor-to-ceiling windows let in the light and the surrounding scenery; the decor is coolly comfortable. Neat bedrooms have a king-size bed and underfloor heating, plus little extras: high-end toiletries, hand-made chocolates, complimentary treats in the fridge. Arrive to sweet pastries at teatime; help yourself to coffee and home-made whisky cream liqueur whenever the desire strikes. In the morning, wake to home-baked soda bread or a Scottish platter with Stornoway black pudding and tattie scones, served in the glass-fronted dining room. The hosts can suggest local itineraries; alternatively, stay on site and take a traditional longbow lesson: Sean O’Byrne is a former world champion. 12 miles N of Oban.
