The owner was very friendly and helpful. She served us great breakfast every morning. The location is great, easy walk to the town. Given the price point, it is a nice place to stay. Our only concern was a bit musty smell downstairs.

Very nice B&B handily situated for the ferry terminal. We received a genuinely warm welcome and it was so nice to have ample parking to the rear of the property. Room was fine as was the ensuite. Good breakfast with extensive choice.

Great value on a clean bnb
Great little bnb within walking distance to most things. Hosts were friendly and helpful. Breakfast was good. Value is really nice. The only thing i would change is the comforter. It's very heavy and a bit too warm for my liking but i imagine in the cooler winter months it's perfect.

Great guest house
Lovely, comfortable place to stay,. Very clean and a tasty breakfast. Only a 5 minute walk into Oban Town so not a bad location. Although located on a main road, it has plenty of off road parking. Yes we will return... Love Scotland.
