Warm welcome received in the first day we stayed here however the rest of the services were really unpleasant. My friends and I had booked 2 rooms and stayed for 2 nights. Heaters were not turned on, even after requested; TV and DVD players were not working; uneven floors that sagged in places, expired hot chocloate powder provided and the... More

This is a terribly unfair review and deserves comment, 1/ The heating comes on with a thermostat as it was a very warm evening the heating was not coming on, however a heater was supplied as were blankets, and in the morning when we went into the room its was like a sauna as the heater had been left on...

We arrived very late but received a warm welcome. Not realising the rules - we brought some food due to our lateness and were allowed to eat it in the dining room but I realise the owners may have felt in an awkward position when I asked if we could eat it. Thanks for being flexible. Amazing range of Scottish... More

We stayed at Braeside for four nights having found it on the internet, and we found it the perfect B and B. The welcome was friendly and comprehensive the room was small but very well appointed we had a side view overlooking the hills and the bird feeder outside the window was a treat we even had a Red Squires...

Afraid to say this was not the fantastic Band B we had expected from their web site. The owners are a charming couple and we could not fault our welcome but everywhere seemed very tired and in need of an update. The impression was that an attempt had been made to squeeze too many rooms into one house. The shower... More

My husband and I loved our stay at this charming B&B. The room was a little small, but I would describe it more as cozy than cramped. The host/hostess were gregarious and helpful. The dining room was charming. We would recommmend this B&B to anyone and would go here again.

A quiet guest house 10 minutes from Oban. The warm welcome from Jon and Cherry sets the scene. The rooms are comfortable. A range of breakfasts can be ordered and my favourite was smoked haddock with smoked ham and poached eggs. Dinner is available if you want it. The bar is well stocked and Jon (who has a lifetime's experience... More

This B&B is about 10 minutes by car outside of Oban in a very quiet and peaceful area. Their dogs like to sit in the back of the owner's SUV and watch to cars drive by on the road. We had 2 rooms. Both rooms were decent, not opulent, but not threadbare either. They could use a decorator. There's a... More

We received a warm welcome at Braeside. Jon made us feel at home, the rooms were very nice and comfortable. We enjoyed our stay there, even our children aged 10, 13 and 16 agreed and loved this place. Last, but not least, the breakfast was excellent (good quality bacon, salmon, porridge, cereals, toast... there was plenty to choose from in... More
