Whitchwood was awesome with a capital A. Where do I start, the 2 very comfty armchairs placed in the bay window from which we sat and enjoyed the view of the ferry boats coming and going, the room and bathroom were spacious, and planty of car parks. 100% enjoyed the complimentary sherry upon our return from dinner. 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.

Boasting a garden and views of garden, Burnside is a recently renovated guest house set in Oban, 3.1 km from Corran Halls. The property has quiet street views and is 8.2 km from Dunstaffnage Castle and 47 km from Kilmartin House Museum. There is a sun terrace and guests can make use of free WiFi and free private parking.

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.

John and Sally are very friendly and always responsive to request and assistance. They provide advice on the transportation and helped dinner booking. The room was spotlessly clean and you will safe to use all the facilities in the room. The bath tub is a bonus. I got a nice room with the best view for sunset. I did not expect B&B with this standard of facilities and I had a lovely stay in the place. Hope I could stay more days. Thank you, John and Sally.

    The host of the guesthouse was fantastic. The room and bedding was very nice. The room had space enough for comfortable chairs overlooking the water through a bay window. It was in a great location just up above the main town, so very easy to walk to everything. Free parking was right in front of the house and she allowed us extra time to park even after we had checked out.

    Great location, very close to town centre, ferry & could walk to great views & beaches. Comfortable bed & quiet surroundings. We left early to catch ferry to Mull so did not have breakfast. Helpful host - was waiting for us & moved his brother's car so we could park ours next to guesthouse.
