If I could summarize, the owners seem well meaning but they just don't get it. Menu is very restrictive as our meal hours. Physical house should be great but is not kept up well with lights burned out, heaters not turned on, missing mirrors, no clocks whatsoever and a vast difference between ocean front room styles and generic other rooms.... more

my girlfriend and i enjoyed a three night stay in a lovely cosy room to the back of the hotel.we loved sitting out the front watching the sunset with a glass of wine or two before a stroll into town to the pubs and resturants where we had a few memorable meals. In the morning we had a great breakfast... more

My partner and I have stayed regularly at the Corriemar over the past few years and have thoroughly enjoyed each visit. The bedrooms and public areas are beautifully presented and many of the rooms have stunning views overlooking the bay. Our particular favourite rooms are 6 and 12, due to both the views and space they offer. We have also... more

On arrrival we were given room 5, this was small and had no en-suite, but did have a private bathroom which a key was provided for. When we requested an en-suite room there was no hesitation from the owners to accomodate us, and we were moved to Room 2, which was lovely, at no extra cost. The house is central... more

Stayed with my husband, phoned ahead to let them know we would be late but this was not a problem to them. We were greated by a friendly lady who turned out to be the owner she showed us our room and asked if we could complete her form later once we had settled for our breakfast order. In the... more

Have stayed at the Corriemar Guest House in Oban on several occasions. The owners and staff are always very friendly and helpful. Rooms are spacious and clean. You have to order your breakfast the night before but this means that you don't have a wait in the morning, especially if you are up and out for the day. There is... more

We received a warm and friendly welcome from a gentleman and were allocated a family room (15) despite having booked two separate rooms. The room was fine although one bedside light did not work and several of the centre light bulbs were not working. The bathroom was very good but the roof light was surrounded by a wide band of... more

The Bathroom fan isolator cord was being pulled and switching of the fan which should come on when the lights are put on. Thus when the bathroom was being used the steam condensed on the steel frame of the skylight. This has since been resolved with the pullswitch cord being shortened to ceiling height and the skylight painted. Regarding breakfast,...

Having reserved a specific room when I booked (the 4 poster bed room) was outraged when I arrived to be told I was a liar by the very person who booked the room. She further outraged me by later coming to our room to make sure we would still pay the higher rate for a room with a sea view... more

It is unfortunate but whilst we try to accommodate people in rooms of their choice it is not always possible. This information was given at the time of booking and it is also on our website. The guests were given a seafront suite with lounge and ensuite bedroom. They were then asked to fill in the Registration Form correctly. In...

My 6 member family and I had booked 3 rooms in this house 2 months in advance. The check in time was from 3 to 6 pm, but when we called them at 5:15 pm to inform that we will arrive later than 6 pm we were informed that one of the rooms had been granted to other people and... more

Management response from

It is our Policy to check the credit card holding a reservation after 17:00 hours if we do not have a time of arrival for the guest. In this case the card was checked at 17:30 and it was deemed invalid. This effectively made the reservation invalid and when unable to contact the customer we turned around our vacancy sign...
