Enjoyed our stay in Oban. The apartment was conveniently located in town making it easy to walk within the town. The beds were comfortable, bathrooms functional, kitchen very nice, living room comfortable. Nice to have a dishwasher and washing machine. Highly recommend as a place to stay in Oban.
Superb location â easy walk to downtown shops and restaurants. Very clean and beautifully decorated. Parking for free in the back. Amazing access to hiking, lochs and the Scottish highlands.
The one drawback is that the kitchen is not very well stocked for cooking. A few more pots and pans and Tupperware would be useful. Every day use glasses are needed (not fine crystal). And instructions for the cooker would have helped.
Otherwise a brilliant place. So glad we found it.
Mary was very diligent about contacting us about the location and arrival. We had a difficult time finding it and there was Mary at the door waiting for us!!
The apartment is stunning and I want to move in.
The Lowry is superbly located and clearly Mary, the host, has put thought into the decor.
However, we found some of the online information misleading. It is described as having either 2 bathrooms or 1.5. There are no bathrooms. There is a shower room with a washhand basin and a separate WC with a vanity basin. In this room there was no extractor fan and the only very high window was sealed closed. We would advise that this is made clear online to avoid disappointment.
There are many DOâs and DONâT signs around the property. We found these very offputting.
The most intrusive to our enjoyment was that we were instructed not to open the blinds. which made opening the windows very difficult.
We were instructed not to put certain glasses in the dishwasher. To avoid using these glasses we bought some cheap Tesco glasses for our stay. We would advise Mary to replace her crystal glasses with ones that are dishwasher proof for guestsâ convenience
We agree wholly with a previous review regarding the constant light from the bright security light on the landing outside the flat. This was not conducive to a good night sleep to the occupants of bedroom 2. The other flats in the building appear to have blinds in situ on this window. We also think the security light might be broken as it surely shouldnât be on constantly?
Perhaps some of the signs could be removed. This isnât an economy 3star accommodation. Iâm sure, Mary, that your guests can be trusted to care for your property.
Mary was a lovely host and very easy to communicate with.
The 1st floor apartment had everything you need for a stay in Oban. Lovely rooms, well equipped kitchen and stylish furnishings.
Just a 5 min walk into Oban where there are lots of eating options.
Parking is available on the street for a small charge or at the rear of the property free of charge.
Mary was kind enough to leave a tea, coffee, wine, chocolates, bread and eggs plus various other kitchen / dining items - all very welcoming and helpful.
I would be happy to recommend a stay here to anyone.
This property was very well furnished with hand made furniture and glass blown lights, expensive crystal glasses and leather sofas. However, it was not practical in many ways. The Venetian blinds in the bedrooms did not keep out the light particularly from the street lights and further light came from the communal light on the landing. I do not need a total blackout but expect reasonable darkness.
This is the first house we have rented with no TV and only Netflix
The owner herself was most welcoming, but 12 signs around the flat were not! Wash glasses by hand, take off makeup before bed, donât pull up blinds, donât hang up heavy clothesâŠ.
This is a rental flat in quite an ordinary block of flats which has been lovingly furnished, but I could not say we had a relaxing week as we had little sleep.
Lovely property. Good central location. Facilities exactly as described on website. Owner great to deal with. Would easily recommend this accommodation.
We couldnât have been greeted by a more welcoming and gracious hostess. Mary gave us a thorough tour of the apartment and checked in on us to ensure we had everything we needed. This property is top notch and our family felt as though we were in a luxury accommodation. Every amenity was provided for us, even pantry items such as delicious fresh eggs, milk, bread, and coffee. The apartment is simply stunning. Photos cannot capture all of the thoughtful details. Every room is more beautiful than the last. The town is full of charm and worth a stroll to visit the shops and of course, the harbor. If there were more than 5 stars, Mary would earn them. The best property of our holiday by far!!
