Stuart and Moyra were wonderful hosts. They lend a very personal touch and were very helpful with information on getting around and nice places to hike. Our room was very comfortable though not huge. But then we didn't go all the way to Scotland to sit in a room. The breakfast was a wonderful buffet of hot and cold including... More

The hosts were friendly and helpful. Room was comfortable. Can't remember the room number, but it was top floor street facing. The city center was within easy walking distance. This guest house has guest laundry available. There is only one pay washer and dryer available. Make sure that you have 1 pound coins available. The wash is reasonable, buy drying... More

Raniven Guest House is centrally located with just a 5 minute walk to town and the ferry terminal. The proprietors are a friendly young couple. The rooms are average size and the furnishings are functional but there are no wall decorations. The bathroom is small with a telephone booth size shower. The breakfast is buffet style, mostly cold dishes and... More

Very well situated near the town center and all the restaurants (5 mn walk) free parking much appreciated. We had to take a ferry in the morning and were at about 5 mn by car from the ferry terminal. The family room was well equipped with en-suite bathroom. Breakfast was hot buffet and the breakfast room too small to welcome... More

The location of the guest house is perfect as its just 2 minutes walk from the centre of Oban. For the price, we were expecting something much more basic than this - the place has character and is clean and cosy. The hosts are very friendly and helpful and can give you all the advice you need about what to... More

Just returned from a trip touring west Scotland. This is the second time we have stayed at the Raniven and it is everything you want in a B&B. Friendly hosts, clean and comfortable room, hearty breakfast to start the day and excellent value too. Would highly recommend.

My partner and I stayed here from Sat 23rd to Mon 25th March. The host Moira was really gave us a warm welcome. We stayed in room 2 which was lovely. Spotlessly clean, bright and very cosy. Bed was very comfortable. We enjoyed a very lazy lie in on the Sunday! Moira was very kind to knock and show us... More

My fiance and I stayed at the Raniven for a few days as part of a little trip round the west coast. We were allocated a huge double bedroom at the front of the house, with a lovely bay window and comfy bed. The room was spotless, had plenty of character and all amenities were in good working order.
