    Our room was comfortable, clean, cosy and attractive and had the most amazing view out over Oban bay. On day two of our visit the weather was pretty foul, but we actually had a lovely afternoon sitting looking out over the bay with plenty of hot...

Company information

Colin and Frances Davren welcome you to Kilchrenan House in Oban on the West Coast of Scotland, where we hope you will enjoy the relaxing atmosphere created by a combination of modern comforts and Victorian style, offering the perfect place for a peaceful break.

Property information

This elegant Victorian building has a superb location by the sea overlooking Oban Bay on Oban's Corran Esplanade. Great care has been taken to preserve, restore and highlight the original features and charm of Kilchrenan Guest House such as the twisted spindle bannister on the staircase, intricate cornices, stripped pine doors, and wooden window shutters.

Neighbourhood information

So many tourists these days look upon Oban as simply a stopping off place en route to their next destination. Though the town itself offers the discerning visitor a wealth of things to do and see, its real advantage lies in its central position to so much of interest in Argyll and the Western Isles. Below are some suggestions for a week's touring using Oban as a base.
