My wife and I had a lovely fortnight here. The rooms were lovely, the views superb even on a bad day. Close enough to Oban to be handy, but quiet. Lovely walks around the islands and the hills behind the apartment. We would recommend the 2 hour boat trip

The location of the apartment is excellent, offering stunning views regardless of the weather. The apartment is tastefully decorated, although its a shame that the oak doors have been painted over. Overall, the apartment is well-equipped, though it would benefit from additional spoons and bin bags, as there were not enough for 3 or 4 people. The maRead morester bed is quite hard and would benefit from a topper, and one of the sofas and chairs requires new foam. Would return if issues addressed. Hide

Well firstly, Id like to say what a lovely time we had in the accommodation. Im only going to mention the following because I think it might help. We had to wash 2 saucepans and frying pan before we could use them as they were so greasy. The cooker hood switches are so thick with grease, your finger stuck in it every time you used the switch. ThereRead more were no oven gloves, we searched everywhere. We locked the main doors, while other left it open, then acted like it was us. Wed return. Hide

Once again, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Much effort has gone in to providing everything needed. The views are amazing, the accommodation delightful, even the weather was kind. Sadly, on the last night, the fishmonger ran out of Langoustines, - but I think we might have had something to do with that!

This is a beautiful apartment .the location is perfect weather always changing and lots of ships passing back and forth. The beds are comfortable and the main shower is excellent. This is somewhere to go to relax and eat lots of fish. We will definitely return ,although looking at the next available booking , might be tricky.

A beautiful apartment with stunning views. Many things supplied that are not mentioned on the website. , Most importantly a washing machine, ironing board, iron and hairdryer which would have been useful to know. We only got to stay 1 day sadly after a close family member unexpectedly passed away. Highly recommend the apartment and would love to goRead more back and have the week we missed but communication with the holiday company was poor so reluctant to use them again. Hide
