Our Glenburnie House stay exceeded expectations. Graeme, the owner met us at the door and was very hospital and accommodating. He helped us get reservations at a great restaurant (Ee'usk). Ee'usk had the best and freshest seafood I have ever had. Our room was immaculate and spacious and had a wonderful view (ask for the ocean view if available). We... More

We stayed here on the first night of a coach tour around the Highlands and Isles of Scotland. We didn't know where we were staying until we got there, but were delighted to find a beautifully appointed hotel throughout (obviously recently refurbished) with the friendliest staff you could hope for, and perfect views across Oban Bay. Breakfast was great, freshly... More

My husband and I treated ourselves to a weekend stay in Oban. We looked no further than Glenburnie House as it came highly recommended by friends. Oban is located in Scotland's Argyll and the Isle region. For first time visitors, the winding roads can be a bit daunting, and therefore recommend driving in daylight. As well, the views are spectacular... More

Our family of 4 arrived Easter Weekend to a beautifully refurbished entrance hallway and stairs. (great pics on FB) Graeme was friendly and gave us great suggestions for the sights and restaurants about town. We stayed in rooms 5 (fabulous bayside view) and 6. Both rooms were well appointed, inviting, very clean, and so comfortable. Wonderful breakfast (nice options) served... More

We recommend this B&B. Very nice accommodations with a beautiful view of the sea. The owners went out of their way to welcome us after our journey through the beautiful and winding countryside.

Had booked room 17 (without a view) to save a bit of money but, on arrival, Graeme had given us a free upgrade to room 9 (with a view) as he was quiet on the Sunday night that we'd booked, prior to getting the ferry over to Mull the next morning. It was a shame we weren't staying longer as... More

A fabulous guest house in every way possible. Impossible to find fault. Extremely relaxed atmosphere with tasteful decor throughout. Beautiful bedrooms with luxury en-suites. Great breakfast with a huge choice and served by extremely friendly staff. I would not look any further than Glenburnie if staying in Oban in future.
