Oban Bay View

Oban's working waterfront—ferries to the islands, working fishing boats, the occasional seaplane—is a minute's walk from Oban Bay View. The third-floor apartment overlooks the bay itself, with views across to Kerrera and Mull. The town's shops, pubs and restaurants line the streets below, and the train and bus stations are within easy reach on foot.

The flat is open-plan on one level: a west-facing living room with a sofa and Freeview TV, a separate dining area and a functional kitchen with an electric cooker, microwave and washing machine. One bedroom has a double bed (4ft 6in), the other two bunks (3ft). The bathroom has a bath with shower over. Bed linen and towels come with the rental, and heating and electricity are included. You get a dedicated parking space on the ground floor.

This suits families or small groups wanting to explore Argyll's coastline and islands without being landlocked. The property is non-smoking.
