Ards House is a traditional Victorian Villa still keeping much of its original charm, warmth, and character. It benefits from a large guest car park opposite on the shores of the Forth of Lorn.

We (Steve & Ilze) warmly welcome you to Ards House, we are in our third season running our four star B & B. We feel very fortunate to live here in such a beautiful part of the world, with panoramic views across the Forth of Lorn, surrounded by mountains and the Morvern Hills beyond.

We are located in the small village of Connel. From the house it is only a short walk to local bars and restaurants, village shop, church, train station and bus stops. We are only five miles from Oban which is very popular with visitors, famous for its sea food and port with ferry services to a variety of beautiful Scottish islands.
