    5-star facilities with commanding harbour views to enjoy the best stay in Oban

    Quite a challenging task to lift heavy luggage upstairs with 50+ steps to conquer!

    The host provided detailed info via messages way in advance and responded to all requests promptly. The state-of-art facility and appliances (apart from washing machine) made it an absolute luxurious stay, especially with the penthouse view into the harbour as well as walking distance to the eateries!

    Lovely, clean apartment with everything you’d need and some lovely personal touches. The view from the balcony was wonderful. We were only staying 1 night as we were heading off on a ferry but I would definitely stay again for a longer period. The host was also incredibly helpful.

    It's a hike up the steps to the penthouse apartment, but worth the effort!

    Super clean and comfortable apartment in a great location to walk around Oban. Our host Fiona communicated with us easily. The amenities available in the apartment were generous and greatly appreciated. We arrived in Scotland on the day of check-in and drove all day from Edinburgh to Oban. There was coffee, water, and tea available for us as well as fruit and snacks. The beds were all comfortable, and there was sufficient bedding. Thank you, Fiona, for a great stay!

    We had some challenges with parking which may have been caused by the timing of our visit - over the weekend with a bank holiday.

    Our host was exceptional. She was responsive and thought of everything. She included many extra things to make sure we had a comfortable and memorable time. She is the best vacation host we’ve ever had.

    No complaints except to say we didn't realise we would need to climb 5 flights of steps to reach apartment which made it impossible to bring in our luggage and difficult for our 80 year old mother. Some of the ceilings are slanted and we kept hitting our heads. Also the pillows weren't comfy little too thin.

    The location is stunning the apartment was lovely and the hosts graciously left us some snacks, milk and water in the fridge.

    Shower temperature was difficult to equalise, so was worried about children using it however filling bathtub was an option that we used. Cleaners arriving prior to 10am on checkout day.

    Apartment had fantastic views! Hosts were very accommodating and easy to correspond with. Lots of little treats left for us and the children had welcome packs!

    The stairs were too much for three women over 60 with luggage. One sister has terrible knees so had we known, before hand, we would have not reserved the penthouse.

    The view was fantastic! The unit very clean!!

    The only thing I would suggest is a small coffee table because we stayed a week and we found when we were sitting on the sofa we had no where to put our cups.

    We liked the comfort, all the extra touches provided. Questions were replied back with amazing kindness and speed. We had a brilliant time the view was fantastic. The apartment was excellent. We would definitely go again.

    The views and area were lovely. Oban had so much to offer for our little family. The apartment was lovely and even the walk up the stairs didn’t destroy our stay. Great little apartment with everything to hand. We were pleased with the welcome pack and the gifts for the children.

    Granted we seem to have traveled here during a heat wave, but it was hot in the evenings. This comment isn't meant as a negative, but this room is accessed only by stairs on the 4th floor. It may be challenging for some that aren't expecting it. Angled ceilings...watch your head!

    A nice penthouse with great views of Oban. Great job on the finishes. Only a short walk into town. We had no problem finding parking at the rear of the building. The property manager was very responsive and helpful
