Great place to stay in Oban with safe parking for motorbikes. Very short walk to the centre of town. Very comfy bed, kitchen well stocked with equipment needed. Only down side was the sofa looks great but is not the most comfortable.

When 1st arrived very tired after 7 hour journey ,key lock box would not open with code,had to phone then leave message,no answer back so left message on web site eventually call back after 25 minutes had to go round to car park to get spare key out of another lock box 45 minutes to get into room Room 4 is small. Needs a better table for tea and coffee area. Bed linen is needing renewed as looking rather grey and tired.Toilet bowl and inside seat needs cleaned better. Bathroom door sticks and difficult to open . Grandson panicked as he couldnt get out. Every time other guest went in or out ,our door rattles and got a few frights when sleeping. View out window onto annex with black plastic wall and wooden struts. I would return here as value for money o.k ,but it does need a bit of care to the fabric of the building.

Average - good sized room, very small bathroom (sitting on toilet and legs hit sink), and staying two days on with two people & provided one small bottle of body wash & shampoo. Heat didn’t work in room, and slow response to queries. Location good, but limited parking. Would look for alternatives before going again.

The property was fine, a good location within Oban but several things were slightly awry. There was no information in regard to safety procedures inside the room or any information whatsoever about Oban and places to go etc. We had to phone up to get the wifi password which eventually dropped out for 24 hrs and we had to hotspot off my phone to glean info about who to contact. Additionally, we had to contact the owner about a fire alarm in a room other than ours and then was asked to help turn it off. The bathroom was tiny and having to sit sidesaddle on the toilet due to the sink being too close was interesting!!! Having said all that it could be a great place to stay with a little more attention to the details above.

A very central location with easy access to town and restaurants. Easy to access by car. The bed was very comfortable (but a Double so small). The shower was excellent and the towels were very nice. The room was small and because we were on the top floor the walls were sloped to the ceiling making the room feel even smaller. Parking, unless you grab a spot early is on the road and Pay Parking. Communication with Owner is by scripted e mails but clear directions on how to get into your room. We did have a Fire Alarm and could not get in contact with Owner via e mail. Alarm went on until Fire Dept arrived.
