Just right.

Clean and convenient to sites, ferry terminal, and restaurants. Good restaurants: Oban Chocolate Company, the Lorne Bar, and Piazza. The gem of the area is the Pierhouse in Port Appin. The cafe on the Isle of Lismore is pretty great too.

Lovely Apartment with Great View!

We loved our stay in Oban, a lovely apartment - with every convenience you need - honestly, there is usually some point in the stay where you think - I wish there was a ,,, - but not here, fully equipped! Only thing to bear in mind, the flat is on the top floor, so there are 70 steps to get to the apartment ,. but if you're OK with steps, you'll be rewarded with the flat. It was a bonus to find that the first curator of the museum, on the ground floor was someone we knew! Sadly passed away recently, but lots of pictures of him in the museum.

About the host

Hosted by Eilidh Orr

I live in the pretty seaside town of Oban and have been a host since Spring 2018. I love Scotland and enjoy spending my time exploring the amazing beaches, islands, forests and mountains of the west coast. I'm proud to be Scottish and I love welcoming visitors to my hometown and sharing our fantastic scenery and wildlife with the rest of the world.

I enjoy travelling around the rest of Scotland as well as across Europe. I'm a total foodie and as a rule my trips and adventures must always involve finding the best bakery, coffee shop, cheesemaker, winery or whatever the tastiest local produce is along the way. Even if I'm just popping out on a casual Sunday cycle I will only go if it means getting a slice of my favourite apple pie on the way. Happy to share more info on this (and other tips) with my guests by the way!

I may be biased but there really is nothing better than watching the sun setting over Oban bay with some famous fresh seafood and a glass of wine.
