We really enjoyed staying at the Old Manse. The location is superb as you can walk into Oban town centre within a couple of minutes. The hosts, Anna and Simon, were very helpful and made us feel at home. We had a large bedroom with a nice shower. The breakfast was excellent and we also enjoyed the views from outside... More

Simon & Anna are wonderful hosts nothing is too much trouble, from the warm welcome to the wonderful array of breakfast options, including catering for gluten free, this is a lovely B&B to stay at. We were even given a takeaway breakfast, as we had to catch an early morning ferry. Bacon sandwiches for him, smoked salmon and egg for... More

What a lovely couple run The Old Manse! My friend and I absolutely loved our stay there. What makes it really the place you want to return to is the warm reception of the owners who feel like old friends after a very short time, and who bend over backwards to make you feel comfortable and at home.

This family run guest house is a delight. The owners are so accommodating and make your stay as good as they possibly can. The rooms are spacious and clean and we had a lovely view out over the harbour. The breakfasts are plentiful and very filling. Nothing is too much trouble and they are so friendly and welcoming.

After checking out many hotels & guest houses in Oban my wife & I settled on the Old Manse to celebrate our 39th Wedding Anniversary.

We arrived on Easter Friday to a friendly welcome from Simon out in the garden. He was really hospitable and couldn't be nicer. He showed us to our room which was fantastic, a huge room that worried me because it was still cold in March/April but I needn't have worried, the room did heat up really quickly. It has all... More

Simon and Anna were wonderful hosts during our stay in Oban. The location of the Old Manse is great - it is an easy walk into town to go to restaurants or visit the harbor. We especially liked the large collection of trip plans for touring around the area - great idea. We had a wonderful visit at the Old... More

A very warm welcome from Simon set the tone for a really pleasant overnight stay in Oban. Our room was clean and comfortable with alot of lovely touches - like fresh milk for the tea and coffee and a small decanter of sherry in the room! The breakfast was delicious and there was plenty to choose from and to suit... More

Very warm welcome from host who helped with luggage and offered a tray of tea upon arrival. Room was clean and large. Breakfast was delicious and dining room was welcoming. Excellent value for what you get and it was a good en route stopover.
