I was extremely disappointed to find no tea, coffee and milk in the apartment. We have hired cottages ,apartments in UK, Canada, USA, Australia, and New Zealand. Every place that we have hired has always had tea, coffee, sugar and milk. Also the main outside door to exit into the road and shared by all of the flats in the block was faulty. On the first day I went to open the door by turning the turn button to get out. This came away in my hand, effectively this was a fire hazard!! My husband managed to repair it and we reported it to Sandie. The apartment was dressed to look good, but there were no instructions on how to use the appliances, again these are normally in the rental property. Also the night storage heaters were not set high enough in the main lounge as it was very cold when we stayed at the apartment.

Thank you for your review, Christine, we are sorry to hear you did not find everything up to your standard. We have previously provided tea/coffee etc but found as it is fully self-catering and most people are in for the week they brought their own/bought stuff for the week ahead which resulted in a lot of waste over the years so we decided to take it away, this is also stated on our website in the FAQ section for people to see before they book.
There is a welcome book in the property which provides details on how to work the showers, T.V, heating and so forth, if there was something missing for an appliance, please let me know and we will get this added in. We want to make sure all the information needed for our guests is there to make their stay as seamless as possible.
Sandie did reach out to see if you were settling into the apartment and you did advise her of what happened with the inside lock of the communal exit door. As you can appreciate something like this we strive to fix asap, as the safety of guests is paramount. As we advised we had no issue with door prior to your arrival and people living in the building have not brought this issue to our/factors attention so we thank you for mentioning this to us and is now in the process of getting fixed. We also were so thankful to you for your husband being able to fix this and as per Sandie's reply.
We set the heaters in the apartment to a medium setting to try and keep a steady temperature throughout. We would have happily adjusted this higher for you had we of known it was too cold for you.
Sorry your customer service standards were not met on this occasion.
We were in Oban for a funeral and this apartment suited our needs perfect.

Very comfortable accommodation. Comfortable beds and powerful showers. Having your own parking space in Oban is a big bonus. A bit of traffic noise, but not enough to bother us. Would certainly recommend.

A lovely flat in an ideal location , handy for ferries , public transport , local shops and places to eat .
We enjoyed a cosy stay at New Year with a wonderful view of the Hogmanay fireworks from McCaig's Tower .
A great advantage is having the private parking beside the flat .
Thanks to Sandie for accommodating us re our arrival day when the weather changed .

Seaside apartment was an excellent base for our stay in Oban, with amazing views over the water and town. The whole apartment was well appointed and very well equipped, especially the kitchen. My only negative comment would be about the comfort of the twin beds, with a very uncomfortable matress.
A big plus is the dedicated car parking space within a private car park. West Coast were very responsive to any problems and the key access worked very well. The 37 stairs up to the second floor help keep you active.

Thank you for your review Mr Headon, we are so pleased you enjoyed your stay with us. We have noted your comment about the mattress in the twin room, as you can appreciate, the comfort of a mattress is a personal preference. We do look forward to welcoming you back in the future.

The apartment is a fantastic touring base for 2 couples. 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. The front room overlooks Oban's Bay. Car parking space provided. Eating out within a few steps of the door and several big supermarkets with a few minutes walk or drive. Outside the door is the train station buses and ferries to Mull and beyond.
Arriving at the apartment is easy and welcoming with the bottle of wine and chocolates.
Friendly staff are available to sort out any problems. Thanks, Sandie!
10 out of 10 from me.
Just one thing to note. It's on the second floor with no lift. However, it's worth the effort just for the view.

This was a very rushed booking by myself but Gemma made it way much easier by keeping direct contact.
The apartment itself is gorgeous and very clean. Everything you would want to have at home was there although on holiday we don't do much cooking if any. The flat is in a central location with great views across the harbour and a private parking space included in the price as was the WiFi although the signal was a bit weak in certain areas of the property..
Plenty of information was also available by the host on local activities and services along with legal stuff relating to renting property. Local shops and coffee houses right on your doorstep along with a Wetherspoons, The Olive Garden and a Local Shellfish shop on the pier.
We also had a chance to watch the Oban High School bagpipe band from the comfort of our living room.
I had read reviews about the bar at the rear of the property which had karaoke on a Friday & Saturday night but we weren't aware of it. We did stay only on the Friday though.
All in all we had a great time

The flat is ideally situated right in the centre of Oban, and is clean and comfortable. We stayed last year, when there were a couple of problems, mainly with chairs, that were very promptly dealt with. This year we found new dining chairs and had no problems at all.

We had a wonderful experience. The location was so convenient for everything :shopping, grocery, entertainment and all transportation.
The only thing for us was the early checkout but then we were able to leave our luggage in the hall so we were very appreciative for that!
And again, THANK YOU GEMMA!!

Seaside is a lovely apartment in the most perfect location. It has everything you could possibly need in the well equiped kitchen, from making a quick sandwich to a full blown dinner party if that is what you choose. It is very clean and the lounge is a comfortable place to relax, but the best thing was the spectacular views of the harbour from the window, you can quite simply sit all day and watch the world go by.

A lovely flat in a great location. Perfect for arrival by train, and a parking space close by. We had a small problem which was sorted very quickly. There was some noise from revellers on Friday and Saturday, and the sofa was uncomfortable but other than that it was perfect. We’d love to return sometime soon

Wow this apartments views are special!! I could have sat there all day just watching the boats come and go, people watching and admiring McCraigs Tower.
The apartment itself is bright, modern and cosy and situated in centre of Oban so could pop out and have dinner, drinks and walk everywhere!
Gemma was lovely and provided us with all the information we needed and quick to reply.
Would highly recommend and will be back ourselves :)

We had a fabulous stay in the seaside apartment in Oban.
From the moment we opened the front door. We knew we had made the right choice.
The apartment was spotless. The bedrooms are tastefully decorated. Beds very comfortable. Crisp cotton bedding.
The lounge diner has an amazing view.
Lovely sofa and chair. Nice touch with throws to use if needed. Perfect for relaxing after a long day out in Mull/
Kitchen very well stocked with every utensil you could need.
Very helpful instruction booklet with every detail of the apartment with things to do in Oban.
It felt a real home from home. We were sad to leave. Would definitely return again but would stay longer next time
