A lovely, well appointed apartment with wonderful views over Oban Bay and the harbour. We had an extremely comfortable stay and the flat is very close to the town centre, shops and restaurants/bars. The only disappointment was the lack of free parking in the town, which is quite expensive.

Fab big apartment, with everything you could want, though another lamp in the living room would be great! Good location with everywhere just a short walk away. Couldn't take my eyes off the views. Would love to come back in summer. Though l loved my Christmas break. The welcome pack was much appreciated. I loved Oban. Many thanks Jo
