    The only thing I would change would be the small mat in the hallway.get a bigger one It was really wet when we were there so 2 people trying to get shoes off without standing on the carpet after a wee dram was hilarious.

    The apartment is immaculate...kitchen well stocked all you need. Bed and pillows really comfy there was nothing i didn't like. Location exceptional ..view fabulous. First time I will be looking to come back to the same property.

    Nothing. If you’re glued to your car parking could be a problem - maybe more so in the busy summer months. We used the car park at the harbour so not a problem for us. There’s even great views from the car park!

    Stunning view! I could have easily sat for hours watching the boats go back and forth to the Islands. Really at the heart of Oban which is a thriving and lively little town. The property was spacious and extremely well furnished. Thoughtful and high quality furnishings.

    I didn't have long enough there. Oh and the strong will needed to not go into the chocolate, coffee and cake shop below every day. I managed 50% .....I tried.

    The view is incredible. A fantastic view over breakfast watching the ferries come and go. Then theres the yachts in the marina in front of the window. Evenings are even better when you can get amazing sunsets and watch the sun going down and see the line of it on the water. The apartment is fabulous but oh those views! It's the same from both bedrooms. Just keep the blind up and watch. Very comfortable beds and sofas. Excellent kitchen and main bathroom. Nothing to fault. I'm now spoilt for ever having stayed here.

    It was perfect! We have nothing negative to say. It was one of the best holidays ever. And above a chocolate shop…. And we had great weather too!

    The views were stunning and it was very conveniently located for the ferries and restaurants. We took so many pictures just from the lounge and bedroom windows! Rab was very helpful and helped me book a parking permit via the council and the place could not have been nicer!

    The flat is very comfortable, spotlessly clean, well equipped and in a very central location. The views from the windows are breathtaking. Beds comfortable, great shower. One of the best places I've stayed. Host very communicative. Dunollie Castle and grounds really worth a visit as well as the ferry to Mull.

    Nothing, perfect apartment and location!

    The views are absolutely stunning from both the living room and the bedrooms. The location is perfect, central for restaurants, bars, shops, and boat trips, everything really is on your doorstep. We travelled as 2 couples and there was ample room for all of us. The property was well equipped and spotlessly clean. We were fortunate to stay during the Winter Festival and we enjoyed the Christmas markets and lots of other festive activities that Oban has to offer. We will definitely return, you couldn’t find a better place to stay and we were blown away by the magnificent views!

    The only slight negative was having to lug our suitcase up steps to the entrance, but this wasn't a big issue.

    The apartment was well laid out , comfortable and very well soundproofed. The views are superb and the location ideal, with a convenience store just 200 yards away. Although advertised as having one bathroom, the extra toilet with sink off one of the bedrooms was very convenient.
