“Will definitely be back”

The room was lovely and extremely comfortable. We were three adults staying in the family room and I was on the sofa bed, which... More

The cooked breakfast on day two was delicious with a great choice of items. Leaving our cases for a couple of hours on our last morning so we could walk around Oban before catching... More

“Wonderful Stay in Oban”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 May 2012

My wife and I stayed one night and were very glad we did! Morven is an extremely hard working lady, who was never too busy for a chat. She has a wonderful sense of humor, and made us feel like valued relatives. The personalised breakfast was splendid, the rooms comfortable and clean. After a walk about town and dinner, we... More
