Guests say
Littlebay Apartment in Oban is praised for its cleanliness, convenient location, and comfort, with guests enjoying the spectacular views and child-friendly amenities. Some guests mentioned issues with the bed's firmness and the condition of kitchenware, but overall experiences were positive, highlighting the apartment's spaciousness and thoughtful touches like a welcome pack.
Guests generally found the apartment to be spotless. However, one review mentioned an issue with the smell of the bathroom towels, suggesting a possible lapse in laundry freshness.
The location is highly praised for its convenience, being a short stroll from the harbour and town centre, with easy parking and beautiful views.
The apartment is described as comfortable and cosy, with a child-friendly environment. However, multiple reviews noted the double bed's mattress was too hard, affecting the comfort score.
The apartment is well-appointed with household items, but there are concerns about the maintenance of non-stick pots and pans, and one guest ran out of toilet paper, indicating room for improvement in facilities and maintenance.
Guests appreciated the thoughtful welcome pack, which included tea, coffee, sugar, shortbread, and cleaning products. It's a lovely touch, though such gifts are subject to availability and not guaranteed.
