Once you step inside Little Bay apartment do you fully appreciate the setting, the view from the bay windows is amazing, we were fortunate to observe several brilliant sun sets. The apartment is comfortable and well equipped. Great base for exploring the area. We parked in the Albany car park, we paid £30 for the weekly permit and found this well worth it. Recommend a boat trip over to Kerrera.

A lovely, well appointed apartment with wonderful views over Oban Bay and the harbour. We had an extremely comfortable stay and the flat is very close to the town centre, shops and restaurants/bars. The only disappointment was the lack of free parking in the town, which is quite expensive.
