Seaside Apartment - sleeps 4 guests in 2 bedrooms

New to West Coast Cottages for 2021, Seaside Apartment has an enviable and superb position overlooking Oban Bay and the historic McCraigs Tower which can be seen in all its majestic glory fully lite up in its many differing colours each evening.

This apartment is on the 2nd floor of the bilding, fully fitted out to a high standard with all conveniences you would expect, from its spacious living and panoramic window view's over Oban Bay and up to McCraigs tower in the background - you could just sit there and watch the world go by all day. With one double bedroom with en-suite facilities and one twin room with separate family bathroom. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need including a dishwasher, microwave, washing machine, a fridge/freezer and a stovetop.

One of the main advantages of Seaside Apartment is having its own private car parking space close to the apartment.

Oban is a lively west coast harbour town with lots going on for our visitors. It is central for touring Argyll known as the “Gateway to the isles”, with beautiful hikes, casual walks, or boat trips to see some wildlife. There is a lovely sandy beach at Ganavan which is 1½ miles away or Tralee just 5 miles out.

You are within easy walking distance of the facilities Oban has to offer, including Costa café right below you and the new delicatessens opposite the main entrance. In keeping with its reputation as the “seafood capital of Scotland” you also have many excellent restaurants to choose from, likewise, cafés, pubs, galleries, viewpoints, shops and of course Oban's famous distillery.

There are lovely walks from your front door, following the bay south past Oban's Yacht club towards the Kerrera ferry and heading north through Oban and to Dunollie Castle. Onward you can head to Oban's beach – Ganavan, or you can head north by car and explore Port Appin's coastal area and Castle Stalker. With only an hour's drive north you can visit Glencoe and Fort William and to the east is Inveraray complete with the truly magnificent castle and infamous Jail. The spectacular coastline offers pleasant walks along the esplanade at sunset with unspoilt views of the islands of Kerrera, Mulland Lismore with ferries sailing to these islands and many more from Oban daily, allowing you to hop on and off easily throughout the year for the Ideal explorer visit.

A comfortable stay
This is a great place to stay in Oban. With 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, beautiful views over the harbor, nearby parking and a well equipped kitchen, it is an ideal base for exploring the area. The apartment is literally next to the train station and the ferry terminal, and is only steps from the shops and restaurants of Oban.

Do not pass this one bye
What an extraordinary experience. The location is perfect. The view from the living room is probably unequalled in Oban. Look to one side and you get a panoramic view of Oban. Look to the other side and you get a wonderful bay view. The location is near everything--the train station, the ferry, and all the best Oban has to offer. Everything was very smooth, very clean, very safe, and very comfortable for two couples travelling together. If I am lucky enough to return to Oban, I hope I get to stay here.

Superb central location
Lots of great things about this property. Central location has to be top affording walking access to shops, restaurants, supermarket, beach, harbour, folly, castle, ferry, train. Parking a bonus. Spacious property boasting 2 bath/shower rooms, well equipped, stunning views. Only negatives were: noise from budget hostel/pub to the rear late at night (which was only bothersome at the weekend) and storage heaters, one of which pumped heat even when off. Otherwise, we had a comfortable stay and enjoyed all Oban had to offer.

Perfect location
Spotlessly clean, very well equipped, right in the centre of things. We had lovely day trips from Oban and meandered along the seafront daily. I will say that if you have mobility issues, the apartment is on the second floor with 3 flights of stairs…a bit hard with suitcases. Other than that tiny glitch it was wonderful!

Perfect location! Stunning views!
All of the directions to the property and parking were excellent. The accommodation was very well equipped and clean and comfortable. Perfect location for ferries, restaurants and sightseeing. Would definitely recommend. There was noise at the weekend which was solved by using the earplugs provided by the owner. Thanks again !
