The Nest in Oban Town Centre

Welcome to The Nest, a charming two-bedroom first-floor apartment located in a peaceful corner of the picturesque coastal town of Oban. Perfectly positioned near local shops, restaurants, and cafes, this delightful Victorian apartment offers a comfortable and convenient base for your Scottish getaway. Whether you’re planning to explore the stunning Argyll countryside or set sail on an island-hopping adventure from the 'Gateway to the Isles,' The Nest is your ideal home away from home.

This spacious and light-filled apartment blends period charm with modern comforts. The master bedroom boasts a luxurious superking bed, ensuring a restful night’s sleep, while the second bedroom features two cosy single beds and offers captivating views of the bay and the historic St. Columba's Cathedral. The apartment retains many original Victorian features, including high ceilings and elegant bay windows, adding to its unique character. As with many older buildings, it has its quirks, which only enhance its charm and make it a memorable place to stay. The inviting lounge is the perfect spot to unwind after a day of exploration. Sink into the two large leather sofas and enjoy your favourite shows on the 60" smart TV, or choose from a selection of books and board games for a cosy evening in. The room is bright and airy, providing a welcoming atmosphere to relax and recharge. The fully equipped kitchen is ready for you to whip up delicious meals with all modern conveniences at your fingertips, including a coffee maker for your morning brew. Enjoy your meals while gazing out over the lush back lawn with the stunning cathedral in the background—a perfect setting to start your day. The newly renovated bathroom offers a refreshing rain shower with an additional handheld option, ensuring a spa-like experience. Please note that there is a separate toilet, characteristic of the apartment’s age, which does not have a hand basin within it.

Parking closest to the apartment is paid on-street, chargeable between 9 am and 6 pm daily. For more extended parking options, we recommend the nearby Corran Halls car park or one of the other convenient paid car parks around town.

The 'Top End' of town is a peaceful and quiet but still only a short walk away from the waterfront and town centre with many places to eat, drink and shop. The local swimming pool is also just a 2 minute walk away from The Nest.

The best way to explore the township is on foot as the roads can get a bit congested in the summer months. If you are wanting to go further afield, the train, bus and ferry terminals are a 5 minute walk from the apartment.
While there is parking behind the building, this is not for guests to use. Parking needs to be on the street at all times

The first impression as you enter through the door to the complex from the street is “oh my, what did I book” you walk through a dingy concrete foyer and up some decrepit concrete stairs up to the second floor old wooden plank landing . Upon entering the unit, immediately the dingy carpet sets a terrible mood. The place is actually fairly large and some simple renovations like the flooring into a vinyl plank or something would make a huge difference . The beds need updating as they are broken and sinking in .The set up has the toilet on one end of the apartment and does not have a sink . The shower and sink room are on the opposite side of the apartment. Very strange . Makes it hard to keep your hands washed. And even if you wanted to wash your hands, there’s barely any soap in the the place . Also THEY DO NOT PROVIDE TOILETRIES!!! So no bath wash, soap, shampoo , or lotion . I called and emailed to ask for some toiletries , and the peculiar response I got back was that they do not provide these items and do not advertise that they do . So I guess, make sure to bring your own soap ! This is the first time I’ve ever run into something like this !! Washer and dryer is very nice and helpful. Location is very close to town . We did not spend much time in the unit , so it was fine , but if you do want to hang out there, it does have a very old and dingy vibe to it. Sad, because some minor renovation could fix that ! And some soap to keep everyone clean
