About this property

Argyll Mansions is an imposing sandstone Victorian building with a prominent waterfront position. Beautifully presented and spacious, this three bedroom apartment oozes charm and elegance. You will not be disappointed staying in our luxury apartment. It sleeps up to five, so is large enough for a family but is cosy enough for two and is centrally situated on the third floor of the prestigious, Category B listed building. Built between 1905/07, Argyll Mansions has been described as “one of Scotland’s finest tenements” and represents a late work by architect William Leiper, with stunning panoramic views over Oban Bay and the islands beyond of Kerrera, Mull & Lismore.
Everything is on your doorstep, from Oban’s many renowned restaurants in the town and surrounding area to its many curio shops and streets to keep you busy and entertained. There is also a two screen cinema and a leisure centre. Or you might enjoy taking a walk down to the beaches at Ganavan, or a short ferry trip to the Island of Kerrera with its very own castle, and in summer a Tearoom! Oban is known as the "Seafood Capital of Scotland" with a fishing boat fleet in the bay, a good range of seafood restaurants and an excellent fish shop, and it is also known as the “Gateway to the Isles” with its busy Calmac ferry terminal for trips to Mull, Colonsay, Mull, Tiree, Lismore and Barra.

Highland Odyssey

Lovely stay in Oban in a well equipped, well located apartment. Amazing views and close to local restaurants and amenities. Good base to explore the wider Highlands. The apartment can sleep 5 comfortably so for 2 of us was brilliant. As others have said 72 steps up to the 3rd floor is a challenge after a day exploring but hey, keeps you fit !!

Great location

We felt lucky to be staying in such a lovely apartment in a prime location - fantastic views and right on the main street. Enjoyed some trips to Lismore, Mull and the local castles and beaches. Recommend the apartment and Oban.

Best View in Oban

Rather “puffed” after scaling 72 steps with our luggage, but the facilities once up there made us feel at home. The views of the bay, with ferries and other craft constantly on the move, were a joy to see. We explored the islands of Lismore, Kerrera and Easdale via the various small ferries in perfect summer weather. Dunollie Castle was an interesting place to visit, and the food excellent. The TV reception was poor though, ‘mosaics’ spoiling the picture. Thanks for the opportunity to enjoy Oban and surrounding area once again.

Lovely Appartment

We enjoyed our stay here. Very spacious and immaculate apartment right in the centre of Oban harbour. Beautiful views over the sea from the front of the building and views of McCaig’s tower at the back. We’d definitely stay here again in the future.
