We'd initially been put off this guest house by some poor ratings, but - having realised that they were all from a good many years ago - we decided to go anyway. Firstly, we had good email contact from the owners before we arrived, and, when we were running later than planned, Simon was very helpful on the phone. When... More

Most impressed with our two night stay, we'll be back for sure. Large, clean and comfy room with fantastic sea and sunset view, complete with chairs to admire both from. I could have sat there all day watching the boats and changing sky. Simon and Anna were excellent hosts, making us feel totally at home from arrival to departure (we... More

Booked the Old Manse for a three day get away to explore Oban and the surrounding area. A warm welcome greeted us on our arrival coupled with a beautiful room with an amazing sea view (not to mention the complimentary cheeky glass of sherry!). The room was clean with a well sized comfortable king size bed. The breakfasts were excellent....the... More

Somehow managed to book a seaview room for our last-minute trip to Oban to enjoy the unseasonably warm weather at the end of March. We were so glad to have found The Old Manse - the room was very clean and comfortable with a gorgeous view of the harbor, Anna and Simon were lovely and made us feel very much... More

Excellent accomodation booked very efficiently at short notice. Rooms were very clean and the beds very comfortable. Excellent breakfasts with a good choice (try the scrambled eggs with smoked haddock - delicious!) and I liked the idea of the room-service light suppers (though we did not try them). Really enjoyed meeting Simon and Anna, who were welcoming and friendly and... More

Booked this for our 40th anniversary and couldn't have picked a better place. Room had an excellent view and had all the comforts of home. Breakfast was delicious and the hospitality was second to none. Friends of ours also stayed and they were made as welcome as we were. Location was ideal and easy access to sea front and restaurants.... More

I stayed for 5 nights in February. The rooms are very comfortable with everything to make the stay very convenient. But most important is Help I Received from Anna and Simon. Before I arrived they gave me a lot of information on the subjects I needed. During the stay over they helped me in all the logistics I needed. They... More

An excellent breakfast each morning cooked by Anna, spacious clean homely bedrooms, with a decanter of sherry on the tea tray too! New Years Eve got off to a good start with fireworks on... More

We really enjoyed our 5 nights stay in the Old Manse Guest House a lot. Perfect for families. The family suite had two separated rooms and a rather small but nice en-suite bathroom. Wonderful view from the breakfast room. Very special cooked breakfast. The kids loved the pancakes! Only a short walk to the town centre. Very nice hosts who... More
