The owner was very friendly and helpful. She served us great breakfast every morning. The location is great, easy walk to the town. Given the price point, it is a nice place to stay. Our only concern was a bit musty smell downstairs.

Great value on a clean bnb
Great little bnb within walking distance to most things. Hosts were friendly and helpful. Breakfast was good. Value is really nice. The only thing i would change is the comforter. It's very heavy and a bit too warm for my liking but i imagine in the cooler winter months it's perfect.

Great guest house
Lovely, comfortable place to stay,. Very clean and a tasty breakfast. Only a 5 minute walk into Oban Town so not a bad location. Although located on a main road, it has plenty of off road parking. Yes we will return... Love Scotland.
