With a 4-star rating from the Scottish Tourist Board, Glenbervie Guest House in Oban provides well-appointed rooms and a buffet-style continental breakfast. Around 5 minutes’ walk from Oban town centre, it provides free parking and WiFi and has a guests’ lounge overlooking the bay.

If you are looking for a great place to stay, look no further. Glenbervie is the best place in Oban. The host is fantastic and really makes you feel at home. The location is great and close to city center and the view from the house is to die for and it really makes you not want to leave. I know when I get back, I will be staying there and I highly recommend that you check it out.

    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.
