Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

Hosts were welcoming and the rooms were clean and comfy. Enjoyed the ambiance of the home and breakfast was varied and tasty. Would happily recommend to other fellow travellers. Although be prepared for a walk up a steep road but worth it.

Stayed at the Failte B & B for a couple of nights for a wee quiet break away. Thomas, the host was very accommodating and the breakfasts were brilliant with a large selection. The rooms were comfortable and clean and ours had a great view over Oban.

A most wonderful welcome, matched by a special stay. We only used Failte as a one night stop on our way to Mull, but can thoroughly recommend every aspect of the establishment. It is a long walk up from the town, on the plus side you don't have to go much further to visit McCaigs Tower. The room was wonderful and breakfast a delight. Rest assured when we want to stay in Oban again Failte will be top of our list. We found a great local restaurant for an evening meal as recommended by our host.

Fresh comfortable beds with crisp bedding. A hot shower nice touch with local soaps. Followed by a great full scottish breakfast. The homemade yogurt was a particular high point. Proper old school bed and breakfast as it should be. Hosts were extremely attentive!

Really enjoyed our stay. Very warm welcome (tea and shortbread on arrival). Very comfortable room with high quality finish. Outstanding breakfast with fresh local produce. Oban is a great seaside town, and this place is ideally located with fine fews.

Stayed here for 3 nights in mid Sept. Having looked at other places in Oban, Failte stood out as a great place and we were not let down. Thomas the owner has done a great job on a fabulous late 19th C terrace house with great views out to the harbour. Perfect location 5 mins stroll downhill into town. Thomas is very helpful with some good local tips on days out close by The place is decorated to a very high standard and great art work on display throughout. Very clean and tidy with high standard of room decor and linen etc.... Isobel in the kitchen does a fab breakfast - Eggs Benedict must be tried !. No need to look anywhere else in Oban - book it if they have vacancies !

Arrived Sat 19th Sep for 2 nights from Stirling. Very welcoming, room spotless, nice to have small fridge in room. Thomas very friendly and helpful. Has a lovely calm presence about him. Visited Isle of Mull on the Sunday - definitely recommend to go. We were unable to have breakfast at the B&B that day, however we were offered sandwiches to take on our trip. Not many places would do that! Excellent choice for breakfast today before leaving. Will be back for a visit in the future. Anyone staying - visit McCaig's Tower beautiful views.

Loved it! Kind and friendly host, and a beautifully decorated room. Charming little touches and everything was cleaned to a very high standard, with locally sourced and fair trade extras, would really recommend.

Excellent stay with great service and help from Thomas. Lots of little touches make the B&B highly recommended (excellent breakfast take out supplied when I was leaving early for the day as well). And Oban is just a lovely place to visit.

The service, food and accommodation were second to none in this B&B in Oban! Lovely touches like a chocolate by the bed, fresh bottle of water for the kettle. tea and shortbread on arrival. Nothing was too much for Thomas.
