    Graeme and Dan were absolutely exceptional hosts and altogether lovely people, they made an already wonderful stay even better. The house itself is stunning; beautifully decorated and spotlessly clean. The location is second to none, with gorgeous view across to Kerrera. Cannot recommend a stay at Glenburnie highly enough, we will definitely be back.

    Very nice boutique hotel situated close to the centre of Oban. It was obvious that time and attention had been paid to the design and the rooms were very clean and the decor was excellent. The on-suite bathroom was excellent. Staff were very helpful and very friendly and the breakfast was really very good. I would have no hesitation in staying there again.
