The Clamshell is decorated in a coastal theme, taking inspiration from the beaches and shoreline of Argyll and the Hebridean islands, which can be visited in a day trip from Oban. It is the perfect base for a relaxing stay with friends or family, and has a homely feel for you to return to after a busy day exploring the area. The central location allows for a wide choice of restaurants, cafes and shops all within just a minute’s walk.

I have been a property host for 5 years in my hometown of Oban, running Apartments Oban holiday accommodation. I love Scotland and enjoy exploring the huge variety of beaches, islands, forests and mountains on the west coast. I'm proud to be Scottish and love welcoming visitors to our seaside town and sharing the fantastic scenery and wildlife with the rest of the world. I use booking. com as a guest too, and 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. I'd be delighted to share lots of local tips on where to get the best seafood, scenic cycling routes, wildlife watching, coastal walks and favourite picnic spots with my guests. 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.

The Clamshell is situated in the heart of Oban, with a whole range of shops, cafes, bars and restaurants right outside. Ideally located for transport links such as the train station and ferry terminal, so it’s the perfect base for exploring Argyll and the islands. The Clamshell is part of a residential building, and although is a central location has peaceful garden views to the rear with quiet bedrooms.
