Guest Reviews

• June (7/5): We had a great stay and used the nearby ferry to go to Mull and Staffa - not to be missed. - Good location close to ferry, train station, bus station and harbour. Central Oban near shops and restaurants in a lively area. Could have been somewhat cleaner, but 'acceptable'. There was no duvet cover for the duvet for the sofabed.
• Heather (10/5): Peaceful Oasis in a Lovely Port City - Exactly as pictured on booking. Location was great for my partner who came from the train from Glasgow as well as me coming from Iona and Mull. Nicely renovated apartment. Good use of the space. Great having a kitchen so we could bring back leftovers to reheat, and even cook a little. The clothes drying rack was a lifesaver as I had a week's worth of clothing I needed to wash and dry. The apartment has excellent water pressure, which is a plus. However, there is also a very small sink in the bathroom and unless you are careful to only dribble out a little water, the stream gushes out and sprays all over. I know this is a problem with all front load washing machines that don't get left a little open until they dry out, but while the washing machine is pretty new and nice, the gaskets are filled with mold which doesn't make you feel great about washing your clothing in there. (I leave mine open at home, but I get this is hard to do with a rental. Not sure if there is a good solution.) There is this weird thing that happens in the living room, where you are sitting on the couch and suddenly it sounds like seagulls are in the room with you. There is a cool space behind the couch where they store a folding crib and I'm thinking that used to be a fireplace that isn't totally closed off, so seagulls sitting on top of the chimney get their cries funneled down. The first time it freaked me out, but I eventually got used to living among the gulls.
• Jonathan (9/5): Fab stay in lovely clean central Appt - The location, v central. Appt was larger than expected esp the dining kitchen. Bathroom small but adequate & we appreciated the shower gel, shampoo and conditioner! Also liked having a full sized dressing table and dining table. Sofa not v comfy & no “normal” TV (no problem for us but might be for some?) no heated towel rail so dried towels on drier in kitchen each day. Couldn’t work out heaters but luckily didn’t need them. Great to have washing machine- need to pull door VERY HARD to open!! Worst thing is parking, not owners fault but although free at night was 20p per 10 mins in day up to 2 hours max, after searching on internet found long stay car park 5mins walk away behind Tesco - £10 for 48 hrs approx. Amazing stay, thank you 😀
• Karen (9/5): Overall, a great place to stay with a very central location - Very clean and well appointed The futon was not super comfortable
• SUSAN (10/5): Excellent last minute booking, great property and owner - Excellent property in great surroundings
• Chris (10/5): Amazing flat - Location was great, apartment was amazing, very clean, warm and had everything you need. Having to leave early due to a personal appointment, would have loved the extra night
• AYTAÇ (10/5): -
• Michael (10/5): Perfect accommodation in the heart of Oban - Perfect location and extremely well appointed.
• Christine (10/5): Lovely. Visit Oban often and will definitely book again . Thank you - Clean and fresh. Everything I needed for a 3 night stay. So easy to get around. The 2 flights of stairs up to the apartment
• Young (10/5): -
• Estelle (10/5): -
• Peiran (9/5): Great location for enjoying Oban - Great location, although the property is on second floor and the building has no lift so it might be tough for someone who travels with heavy luggages and would love to have all their stuff to themselves. Parking is easy on street and the fee is fare. Generally a very comfortable stay. The main heater can’t be manually controlled, and bed is a bit too soft to my back.
• Ross (10/5): -
• Paul (10/5): -
• John Barnes (9/5): Great place to have a short term stay. - Great location close to boat, cafes, etc Nothing
• Peterson (7/5): Good choice for a short stay in Oban. - The location was great - walking distance to many restaurants and shops. Very convenient to the ferry. Very clean. The living room furniture was not terribly conducive to relaxing. Street parking is metered with limits on duration.
• isabelle (6/5): - Poêles et casseroles très usagées pas de plat. De four ni de passoire avons du acheter une casserole
• Caroline (8/5): Oban - L’appartement est très bien situé. Nous avons pu récupérer les clés facilement. L’appartement est bien fourni, nous avons pu faire une machine lors de notre séjour. Le salon est spacieux. La salle de bain est un peu petite et retient l’humidité (la VMC ne fonctionne qu'avec la lumière). Le matelas était trop mou à notre goût.
• Christine (8/5): - It was good to have a kitchen (a fridge was good. We didn't use any other facilities) It was a bit pricey but then again that's UK prices unfortunately.
• Sheona (10/5): -
• Sook Chin (10/5): Cozy and comfortable home in the heart of Oban! - Location is fantastic, it really is in the heart of Oban. The apartment is so clean and very well-equipped, especially the kitchen! The room bed is very comfortable but the sofa bed less so – nonetheless it was overall a very enjoyable stay and would highly recommend! The host took some time to send the check-in instructions but were very responsive upon calling them! The apartment is up 4 flights of stairs, so just to note if you have heavy bags.
• Audrey (7/5): Pratique et correct - Chambre bien, taille de l’appartement, propreté, emplacement, douche L’appartement intègre un couchage sur le canapé lit mais c’est impossible de dormir dessus, il est inconfortable et il y a des courants d’air entre la fenêtre et la cheminée donc on a froid. Il faudrait équiper le canapé lit d’un gros sur matelas pour éventuellement dormir dessus et encore ce ne serait pas le confort d’un vrai canapé lit avec un vrai matelas
• Derek (10/5): Exceptional - Excellent accommodation and very central. Owner very helpful. Great weekend and highly recommend
• Sarina (10/5): Highly recommend. Would stay again in a heartbeat! - The perfect property for us. Loved the property size, amenities and location. Had everything we needed and felt like a home-away-from-home. Was actually our favourite accommodation of our roadtrip. We also loved Oban overall (highly recommend).
• Linda (8/5): Comfortable and convenient flat in an ideal location. - The location is ideal - close to all forms of transportation; many restaurants and pubs; the waterfront, and walking distance to markets. I also appreciated the washer (and drying rack). The only reason I give it an 8 instead of 10 is that there is no dishwasher, and the mattress is less comfortable because it sags in the middle .
• Fiona (10/5): Absolutely 5 star accommodation - This flat was perfect in every aspect. Immaculately clean, high standard furnishings and had a lot of little extra things I wasn’t expecting. Located in town centre was a massive plus. That I can’t live there forever!
• Pete (10/5): Wonderful stay in Oban. - Excellent. Property is great and spotless. Location was awesome and close to everything. Also, a complaint I see on other reviews a bit is WiFi, and I can assure you WiFi was great in the property. Nothing at all.
• Eduardo (10/5): Great choice, excellent value for money. - The property is excellent. The location is great, and it has all the facilities you need for a short stay. Perfect for a short trip.
• Alexander (10/5): Exceptional - Ideal location Spacious, clean kitchen Owners very accommodating
• Natalie (8/5): Great stay - It was very well equipped and had everything we needed for our 2 night stay. Added bonus of shampoo, conditioner and shower gel. They provided a cot for our toddler which was great. Location really is in the heart of Oban and very easy to walk to bus, train and ferry stops, 5 mins each. Very clean and tidy unit and hosts responded very quickly and with all information we needed. Easy check in and check out. Paid parking, but it's not too expensive at all, so not a big deal.
• Katarzyna (10/5): Exceptional - Very nice apartment. In the middle of the town so easy to find. Close to lovely restaurants, shops and cafeteries.
• Ganesh (9/5): Superb -
