What to do in Oban
Oban, Glencoe, Highlands Lochs & Castles from Glasgow
"What an absolutely pleasant surprise this was. Very friendly and helpful hosts and the room we had was wonderful. Compact to be fair but well presented and very well appointed. Parking right outside and off street with a very pleasant walk down to the wonderful place that Oban is. The only negative was staying for only one night. Could have gladly stayed another three or four but the one night was memorable all the same thanks to wonderful hosts."
"We stayed for one night and our room was clean, nicely decorated and comfortable. The bed was king sized and we had a great night's sleep.
The hotel also has a well- stocked and reasonably- priced bar. Ideal for a night cap!"
"Excellent little B&B! So clean, comfortable, and set up very well. Good location to explore Oban and environs. My only issue was there are no “public areas” to relax in and the cover picture set a scene looking over the water but there is a very busy road along the front of the property below the photo making the garden not very relaxing"
