We stayed four nights at Kathmore while using Oban as a base for exploring. The B&B is in a great location, very handy for the town centre and free parking in Oban is always a bonus. 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

Me and a group of friends stayed here on a fishing trip The rooms were clean, my bed was comfy and the shower was fine. The B&B is a short 10 minute walk from the town centre and has good parking. There was a good choice of breakfasts and they were well cooked and timely. The owner and staff were... More

Morven was most accommodating by arranging for a packed breakfast so we could catch an early ferry to Mull. The accommodation was clean, warm and inviting. 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

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

We spent two nights at the Kathmore, 3rd and 4th Feb. The guest house is easy to find, has ample private parking and is very clean, there is also an excellent breakfast choice. Morven is very friendly and welcoming and I will certainly visit the Kathmore again as it is an excellent base for discovering Oban and the surrounding area.... More
