The room we stayed in (Room 15), was among the best we stayed in during our stay in Scotland. Very nicely furnished, with sweeping views of the Oban waterfront, overlooking the Islands (I think Kererra, Mull and one more)..the hosts, Colin and Francis, were so intent on spoiling us during our stay---genuinely caring about how to make our stay comfortable....

From the moment we arrived we knew that we would have a great stay and we did. We came in late (around 9:00 PM), but Colin still greeted us with a smile and an offer of sherry or whisky. He also helped to carry in our bags, which I appreciated. We stayed in room 5, which I would highly recommend.... More

Excellent Bed and Breakfast. Rooms beautifully decorated. Fantastic Breakfast great choices all fresh.. Very welcoming. Great place to stay when visiting Oban. Bedrooms with Sea views are great but all bedrooms are extremely comfortable. Not a noisy part of Oban. Would certainly recommend this Bed and Breakfast to anyone. Hospitality unbeatable.

My husband and I have just returned from a 3 night stay. We have stayed at a number of B&B's on the esplanade before, but I can honestly say that this was the best. Frances and Colin are genuinely friendly hosts. The accommodation is clean, modern and very comfortable. There is a choice of breakfasts available, all of which are... More

Stayed two nights in this lovely B&B located on the Esplanade in Oban. Walking distance from the ferry, restaurants and shops. The owners are very welcoming and helpful - very gracious. The room was great with a view of the water. Parking on site. Breakfasts were good as well.

Large room with plenty of space, very clean, beautifully decorated and a very comfy bed. A super roll top bath, wonderfully deep was an ideal place to soak away the stresses of the day. The... More

A nice hotel, warm welcome by Colin, nice seaview room. Good location, only 10 min walk to restaurants and pubs. Excellent breakfast served very efficiently by a very bubbly Frances. Look forward to our return trip!
