A very affordable, cute B&B that was comfortable to sleep in. The hosts were really kind and provided some special treats since my husband and I were celebrating our anniversary. The downside is that the walls felt thin (I could hear people walking outside the room) and the rooms are quite tight. However, considering the price, I didn't care too much.

Would recommend... very basic . Room smelt of smoke - couldn't open window.. glass door to toilet is squeaky as hell and rattles Room every time someone goes through it.. Wifi is highlight of the stay, unless u enjoy sleeping on a bin bag sheet Can understand why backpackers stay here - very central. Would recommend the hostel around corner for 1/3 of the price ...

Clean, inexpensive en-suite rooms. Nothing fancy but perfect as a base to explore the area. Basic continental breakfast. Kettle, tea, coffee etc in room. Also a hairdryer - not a bad bit of kit for the West Highland weather!

Good location close to the piers, town centre and a farmfoods opposite if you e forgotten any toothbrushes or similar! No parking, although that was made clear when I booked. There is a carpark nearby that does allow overnight parking. I was on the top floor I suspect, which I was pleased about as that meant I was away from the majority of the traffic and pedestrian noise (got to expect that in a town though!), but just be aware in case you have a tonne of luggage! Check in was easy and even though the owner wasn’t there in person, he sent me a message to make sure I could check in okay and to assure me he was at the other end of his phone should I need anything . Room very basic and could do with a few minor touch ups, but there was a coffee tray (most important), working TV, plenty of towels, drawers and hangers for clothing, although I expect this guesthouse is used for one night stays for people using the ferry terminal like myself, so I didn’t need to use these. Comfy bed and pillows and was perfect for my one night stopover on Oban. Many thanks!

It was more than we expected, the room was great, very spacious with a really comfortable bed as well as the cleanliness being outstanding. They offer a great option for breakfast including teas, coffee, cereal, toast and a lovely home cook big breakfast.

A good basic option if you're a single traveller looking for a sub £40 a night room only rate. Clean..tidy and does what it says on the tin. It's located right on the main road heading into town but my room is tucked away at the back so no noise at all. Also it's nice and warm..ideal in December.
