Oban is nice enough but our stay at Sgeir Mhaol was marred by the owner's comments when asked to recommend sights in Oban's (she said there was nothing and we should head out) , eating out places (she said it was not worth even trying as she "guaranteed" they would all be booked & full) , a glass of water...

On arrival, although the hostess was busy she was a bit snappy. The room was small and the bathroom smelt of urine. Nice breakfast was provided, but table was set with a second hand serviette. Ample parking, but due to it being on a busy road it was a bit of a challenge getting in and out.

Very enjoyable stay at the Sgeir Mhaol, nice friendly owners. Our room was a little small but, spotlessly clean. Breakfast was very good which had to be chosen the night before, so might not be everybody's cup of tea.. We only stayed here one night. Ideal location to visit Mull we went on a brilliant tour which I would highly... More

We selected Sgeir Mhaol Guest House based on two criteria; an ensuite, private car parking and walking distance to the ferry terminal, but we got much more! The double ensuite room was clean and comfortable, but not overly large, but you don't need a dance floor! The sink was in the main room and the toilet and shower located in... More

The family room in which we spent one night was NOT a family room but a double room in which was stuffed a bunk bed. Considering that Oban is usually a short stop during an itinerant trip of Scotland, you need also to arrange your (massive) baggage, and this was very difficult because the space was extremely limited! Few bath... More

We stayed here on 11th August and loved it. Both Ishbell & James are genuinely lovely hosts and Molly the dog is gorgeous. The rooms are spotlessly clean, Ishbell apologised for the water pressure but it really wasn't a problem and we slept like logs, and for a chronically poor sleeper that's an achievement! Very well located, nice and central.... More

During out road trip through scotland we came across this B&B in Oban. We were very lucky to find it, as everything else was full! Lovely room, en-suite with a fairly spacious toilet and shower. Cozy lounge and a good breakfast room. Breakfast itself was very good, freshly good and a wide range of choice. Very close to the city... More
