My partner and I stayed here during a trip around the Highlands, having seen Ards House advertised and read the reviews. We only stayed for 2 nights but wish we could have stayed longer. It's true - the reviews seem too good to be true, but they're spot on - this is a fantastic place to stay and I can't... More

We read several reviews of Ards House before our visit. To be honest they seemed a little over the top. They weren't!. We have stayed in wide varety of accommoation but this is the best bed and breakfast we have ever tried, The food and accommodation were, as other reviewers have said, excellent, But the icing on the cake is...

My wife and I stayed here before and after our Son's wedding in May and the experience was "Perfection". Margaret's friendliness, local knowledge and cooking skills were wonderful. If you are looking for really comfortable accommodation near Oban then make this your No. 1 choice, you won't be disappointed. Phil and Sylvia from Quorn in Leicestershire

We have been to Margaret's Ards House before but this is our first time back this year. There is always a warm friendly greeting like you've never been away and going back is like going to stay with your favourite relatives only comfier :) The room was immaculate and cosy with lovely wee local treats. The choices for breakfast were... More

from the minute we arrived we felt like welcome guests - the room was lovely with a beautiful view, the bed so comfortable and warm. as for the breakfast - you have to try the porridge with baileys and the scrambled egg with smoked salmon - my only worry is that this b&b will have spoilt me for any other....

We were the only couple staying at this great B&B on a windy and cold Winter weekend. Margaret made us feel very welcome, gave a fantastic breakfast (as many other reviewers have commented) and was only too keen to help us with places to walk/visit/eat/drink in the area. Will definitely try to come back again soon.

This is the first time I have ever done a second review. Bur Ards really is so good it deserves the praise. The last time we visited we were winding up Margaret the owner because we really couldn't find anything at all wrong. We did tell her that her experimental sausages weren't perfect and guess what? Margaret actually went and... More

Margaret is such a lovely host. She offers fantastic accommodation, a great breakfast (fab choice) and great value for money. And the sea views are wonderful. We will definitely be back. Lisa and Stuart October 2011

Stayed one night and were made welcome by Margaret who is an excellent host. Room comfortable with great en suite. Breakfast was great and very filling. The lounge is a lovely room to relax with its warming stove particularly when wet or cold outside. Margaret will recommend several places to eat to suit all pockets.
