    The views from the flat were amazing, however if you have difficulties climbing stairs it might not be right for you. The beds were really comfortable and the kitchen had everything you would need. Short distance into town, but steep. We would definitely visit again

    We enjoyed our stay very much. The property was a generous size for 5 people (2 couples, 1 single). It had a good dining area and a lounge with an epic view of the harbour and the nearer islands. It was a climb up from the town (Jacob's Ladder) but easy reach for local walks, ferry, the high street, restaurant and the Oban distillery. Having said all that - the property needs some TLC to be a luxury property. The decor in general was in need a refresh. The kitchen equipment needs some attention. Didn't expect gourmet standard but there was no decent sized fry pan that worked on the induction hob, limited selection of saucepans & pots. No soup ladle (I bought one and left it). No oven mitts, knives were dull, needed more tea cups and cutlery. We had enough plates and cutlery for a meal at a time but were always looking for tea cups The bathrooms were dated and in need of attention. The ensuite shower room had a big step up and down from the shower to the floor - guests had been grabbing the towel bar which was coming off the wall. The over sink mirror was crooked. The common entrance was dark and could have benefitted from motion sensor lights and a coat of white paint. Having said all that - if we went back to Oban with the same group of friends - would stay there again.

    This flat is nicely situated in Oban and close to many amenities. Comfortable beds and enough space for our group of six. The kitchen was very nice and well-equipped, allowing us to cook a few meals during our stay. Visitors with mobility issues may have trouble walking up the stairs, but this is noted in the listing. There is some general wear and tear to be expected with an older building. Our biggest issue was the wireless router stopped working on the second day and we were unable to get it resolved before we left. The property manager was in communication with us, so I'm sure it'll be fixed.

    Spacious apartment that offers everything we needed for a very comfortable stay. The views over habour, bay and islands and the sunsets are just stunning. Located in a very nice neighbourhood. Nicely furnished, very good beds. The entrance/staircase very much needs a makeover. Excellent communication.

    Excellent four day stay. Ground floor entry to building is rather austere, but that's Scottish apartment blocks for you. Once into the apartment, everything was clean, modern and welcoming. The view from the front of the building down onto Oban harbour was outstanding. At midsummer, there's still some light at 23:00 to watch the sunset and the comings and goings of the ferry boats. Car parking in the street is a bit of a battle with the locals but we managed. One of our party holds a Blue Badge and a car was essential for getting to and from town. Stairs would be a bit of an issue for some people, but we just about coped.

    Everything thing was good. The Wi-Fi, kitchen, bathroom, etc more than met our needs. The owner was very responsive to all our communications. The only downside is that it is on the second floor and doesn’t have an elevator. This could be an issue for some people, however, the view more than makes up for this aspect of the facility. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a place in Oban and would stay there again.
