The Clamshell, Oban

We loved our stay in Oban at the Clamshell apartment. The space was well laid out and nicely decorated. We loved watching the town move around through the corner windows. We also enjoyed the 5 minute walk to the Ferry/ waterfront area, bookstore, or Tesco grocery store. It was a very convenient location. Thankfully, we easily found paralell parking overnight right outside the apartment on both nights. Other highlights include 1. Extra touches left by the host including fresh flowers and small container of milk in fridge 2. Use of washing machine 3. Cleanliness.

We tried to park in the free lot by day which was mentioned by the host. It was a muddy mess in June.

Excellent location, clean, responsive host, walking distance to restaurants, shopping, etc.

parking was tricky but we made it work, noise level at night (had windows open) - Again, these are issues that all cities deal with and would not deter us from staying there again. We loved it!

Everything from beginning to end. It was just beautiful and so well located

Nothing

I love the space, the colors, the chairs and couch and the kitchen was wonderful. The bright large view in the living room was spectacular. Location right downtown was very convenient to stores and restaurants.

If you’re staying for more than one night parking in Oban can be an exercise in frustration. While free overnight parking is available on the streets, daytime parking is limited to two hours. We were forced to move our car three times to avoid tickets. Even though the Tesco site offers three hour free parking we found that all the available parking spots for extended parking were booked up. To be clear, this is not an issue isolated to this property, this is more a city of Oban parking issue. My advice is side on your parking before hand and pre-book it.
