What an absolute hidden gem. Beautiful little apartment, well equipped and a short walk from town. Very cosy, clean and comfortable. Easy to find and hosts made us feel very welcome.
We enjoyed our stay. The place was clean, comfortable and had everything we needed. We really appreciated having a washing machine! We were able to walk to town for events, tours and meals.
Great welcome with lighting & ambient music playing. Spotlessly clean & all necessary information & utensils on hand. Great location & parking right at the gate.

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication
Stunning garden appartments was fantastic. Grigor the property manager was great, communicated well with us and the apartment was great. Can’t wait to stay there again.
This was a quick stop between traveling for my husband and I. After many days of hotels, I cannot tell you how nice it was to stay in this quiet, cozy and most of all HOMEY space! Just what we needed! The recommendation of dinner at the Coast restaurant was perfect for a nice evening.
Everything was satisfactory and communication was good. We were able to walk to town but because it is on a hill, it is quite a walk back. Good pub to eat at is Markie Dan.
This was a very well equipped apartment in a great location. The bed was very comfy (albeit one side against a wall and a bed end which made it a bit difficult to get in and out of).Plenty of hot water but a bit of a drainage issue in the shower ( made the owner aware so hopefully this will be fixed).The washer and drying rack were a handy bonus
This is a lovely spot on the hill above the center of town. It is within walking distance to restaurants, stores, and the water. It has a secluded small garden patio, lovely for a cup of coffee or glass of wine. The accommodations are comfortable and clean. There are plenty of suggestions on things to do and places to eat. We fell in love with Oban and would have stayed longer if we could. If we ever get back we would definately stay here again.
Property clean neat and had everything we needed. Quite large and airy. Property lists golf view never saw the course, nice patio we were able to use once because of the rain. Very satisfied. If you disabled it has a gravel walk down that might be challenging. Highly recommend this property.
The owners are very polite and great at communicating. The place was wonderful, had everything we needed, and even though you might wonder if it is far out from the shops and food... It's not!! We got everywhere by walking and it took little time. Also, being at the top means you will see some great views and have some great peace and quiet. We would definitely stay again.
Really convenient place to stay with added benefit of being able to park on the side of a quiet road. Lovely comfortable bed.Easy walk downhill into town with bit of an uphill trek in 26°! Lovely shady patio area for evening drinks/supper. A fridge with an icebox would have been very useful as there is nowhere for ice/frozen foods or ice cream, particularly in hot weather. Great boat trip with Oban Sea Tours and seafood stall by the Railway Station. Recommend!!
