If you are more of a history lover, there is plenty around here to whet your appetite. McCaig’s Tower is just 1 mile away. The prominent landmark dates back to the late 1800s and has a fabulous viewpoint platform.

Set in enchanting woodland, there are plenty of grounds to explore and history to immerse yourself in.

There is plenty for walkers and cyclists, too. Pulpit Hill Viewpoint is just 1 mile away. The hill rises above the south side of the bay and has a spectacular viewpoint with far-reaching views – enjoy a gentle hike up to the top. The Munro of Ben Cruachan is 15 miles away, a challenging climb that winds through some superb terrain. Stay closer to the ground at Loch Nell (4 miles), perfect for calm strolls and also a popular spot for trout and salmon fishing.

A lovely, quirky apartment with truly stunning views. We had a wonderful time exploring Oban, and it was great to be in easy walking distance of all the town has to offer. It is clear that this apartment is someone's much loved 2nd home.
