Property code: OC-86398

Unwind in the charming Scottish seaside town of Oban, surrounded by the dramatic shores of the west coast and spectacular countryside. After a day of sniffing out the local lochs, castles and beaches with your four-legged friend and additional four other guests, head back to your waterfront home-away-from-home where you can retire to the master bedroom with a wood burner. Or, if you’re feeling more sociable, relax in the characterful living area and watch the crashing waves through the window.

Inside the bright, narrow ‘U’-shaped kitchen, there is plenty of surface space for preparing and cooking a homemade meal. Dine at the table and chairs in the lounge/diner, where you can gaze out of the window onto the bay. Warm up your chilly feet and paws in front of the wood burner while watching something on the Smart TV. Step out onto the balcony which is accessed through the living room. Also on the ground floor is a double bedroom with sea views, and a single room. Finally the bathroom with bath and WC. Climb the stairs to reach the master bedroom which doubles up as a second lounge with a sofa and wood burner. There is also a shower room with WC. Outside, there is a courtyard which is shared with neighbouring properties.

Step outside of your home-away-from-home and find yourself at the waterfront of Oban Bay, where you can watch the boats bobbing past. Head into the centre of town to discover numerous dog-welcoming cafes, restaurants and bars. The McCaig’s Tower and Battery Hill is a must-see, with a garden and panoramic views over Oban Bay. Hop on a boat trip of the Three Isles, where you, your furry companion and guests might get to spot some seals and dolphins.

Top class views over the harbour, bay and Isles of Kerrara and Mull. Very convenient location - 2 mins walk to the heart of Oban. Kitchen equipped as well as any weve experienced before. Easy and helpful communication with owner before and during our stay.

This was our 2nd visit to No.3. There is everything you need here with a spacious kitchen with everyday cupboard essentials appreciated. The apartment is ideal for our 3 generation family holiday, with plenty space and "drop-out" areas. We all slept well in the comfortable beds. We visited Tobermory aka Ballymory by ferry, Ganavan Sands, Easdale (IRead moresle of Seil), the local leisure centre for swimming/flumes etc. Watching the ferries coming and going adds to the spectacular view. Memories made. Hide

A very comfortable base from which to tour the west coast of Scotland. Our plans were curtailed by storm Amy but the view from the sitting room window, over the bay, was spectacular!! We highly recommend this property.

The views of Oban bay from the lounge is superb. Being able to enjoy the view while having our coffee in the morning, and watching the sunset in the evening was very special indeed. The decor and furnishings may seem a bit dated to some, but we rather liked this kind of cosy shabby chic, and found the accommodation very comfortable. It is also veryRead more conveniently located.

A lovely cosy winter stay! Loved this split level apartment and the amazing views over the harbour. Upstairs is a nice modern area with its own bathroom. Downstairs sitting room, bathroom and bedrooms are a bit more dated but all comfy and clean. Kitchen is nice and well equipped. We loved the super cosy sitting room and beautiful views from the laRead morerge windows out to the islands, we stayed in December so upstairs was a bit cooler. Easy access to town and parking close by. Recommended! Hide
