Just wish we had booked for more than 1 night. I wouls stay here again in a blink of an eye. Book a room with a view.

This guesthouse is located just outside the town of Oban. Less then 10 mins drive. The guesthouse is on a quiet road. Perfect for light sleepers like me. My room was a converted attic, I'm 5ft 10 and I tought the headroom was fine. There was a little fridge with a bottle of water and fresh milk. There was also tea, coffe, sugar, crisps, porridge. The fresh milk was a lovely touch. So many places give you UHT milk which I think is rubbish. This small thing was an example of the care and consideration that the hosts have taken with their accommodation. The bed was large, firm and comfortable. The TV had an Amazon FireStick which was used to access free to air apps to watch UK TV. But it also had Amazon Prime. Which meant I could watch my favourite shows. Again a lovely extra. The bathroom was spacious and the shower was good. There was even a bathrobe to wear after. The WIFI was fast and reliable. The whole place was spotlessly clean. The host met me on arrival, along with her beautiful husky. She was very welcoming and helpful.
