The views are absolutely stunning from both the living room and the bedrooms. The location is perfect, central for restaurants, bars, shops, and boat trips, everything really is on your doorstep. We travelled as 2 couples and there was ample room for all of us. The property was well equipped and spotlessly clean. We were fortunate to stay during the Winter Festival and we enjoyed the Christmas markets and lots of other festive activities that Oban has to offer. We will definitely return, you couldn’t find a better place to stay and we were blown away by the magnificent views!

Beautifully presented and spacious, this newly refurbished 2 bedroom maisonette is perfectly placed for you to sit back, relax and observe the bustling maritime activity. The accommodation is on 2 floors. The hallway leads to a kitchen, dining area and lounge. Upstairs there is a double room with a small en suite toilet and twin room, both with sea views. The toilet and shower room is located across from the bedrooms. There is an elevated shared private outside area to the rear of the property. Island View is located directly above the popular chocolate factory café on the esplanade only a short walk from Oban’s best restaurants and bars. The property has as an associated mooring located just north of the pontoons. The mooring is bookable separately at an extra cost and subject to availability. There is limited off-street parking in the lane to the rear of the property but plenty on-street parking immediately outside.
