Oban has an abundance of shops and restaurants. The Oban Whisky Distillery with tours and a shop is well worth a visit. Known as the gateway to the isles, guests can easily take a day trip from Oban to Iona or Mull, and be back in time to sample the various culinary delights.

The area of Argyll surrounding Oban has so much to offer all ages and interests. To the north there is the famous Hollow Mountain at Cruachan, which is home to a hydro scheme built deep into the mountain and a reservoir high above, a unique attraction for all the family. To the south is Kilmartin Glen, an area rich in historical legacy, offering over 350 ancient monuments to find and explore. The marvellous countryside, stunning scenery and sea views provide great opportunities to spot wildlife; deer are on the hillside, eagles soaring high in the sky and seals bobbing in the sea.
Argyll is fantastic for walkers and climbers with many hill and mountain ranges within the area. For cycling enthusiasts, there are miles of forestry tracks to explore. Coastal walks provide great bird watching opportunities, places to launch a canoe/kayak or try your hand at a spot of sea fishing. There are a number of local golf courses within easy reach. This apartment has a fantastic central position within Oban and Argyll, making it a great holiday location. Beach 2 miles. Shop 300 yards, pub and restaurant 400 yards.

Excellent accommodation and everything we required was there.The only downside I could see is the hill for people with disabilities and no car but taxis are not expensive. Worth it for the view. We will be back.

An extremely well appointed flat that is on the second floor of a quiet block (it's the top floor) up a steep hill on foot, with parking out front if you needed.Fiona is an attentive host and replies quickly to texts.Well equipped with everything you need, the bathroom is small but the shower is reliably hot and the balcony offers some extra relaxation outside to enjoy the setting sun.Beds are comfy with enough storage and there's a dishwasher and washing machine if you need to make use of them.Got to Oban Fish and Chips for supper over Norries in our opinion and Markie Dan's has a nice vibe plus the Whisky Vault has some folk music sessions on a Sunday.
