The room had everything we needed, it was quaint & convenient. The kitchen / breakfast setup was perfect for doing our own cooking and purchasing just what we needed - a few eggs. I look forward to staying again the next time I’m in Oban!

Gorgeous view, excellent location. Walkable to train station, shopping, dinning. Our whole family was able to stay in a private room. Kitchen and common area were the cleanest we stayed at. Again, the sunset view from our room was amazing! Highly recommend.

The room was clean and comfortable and the staff very helpful. I particularly liked being able to use the spacious communal kitchen with all its equipment. Only down side was the climb up several flights of stairs to the attic room. Next time I'll remember to request a room on a lower level.

The Guest house was good value with well stocked kitchen. My room was of a good condition and layout. The only issue I had was my shared bathroom was down one level requiring me to lick my room each time I used it. Overall great location, reasonable price, excellent staff.

On checking in, the staff member was very helpful and carried our suitcases to the first floor for us. The room was clean and tidy and the beds were comfortable. Just a short walk from town so very convenient. Not so good, the extractor fan in the toilet was very noisy and went on for ages. The noise from the bar downstairs went on until very late.
