Rude, Rude, Rude!!!

Never have I stayed in someplace where the person who runs the establishment has been so rude and I would never stay here again or recommend that anyone puts themselves through what she put us through!! We arrived just as another couple were arriving and we went in the door…

Rest easy!

We stayed for two nights either side of a short break on Iona. The owner was so warm and welcoming. The rooms were really comfortable and the breakfasts (we're both vegetarians) were awesome. I would unhesitatingly recommend this place on Pulpit Hill; and just wait to see the…

Worst experience. Period.

Absolutely the worst experience that I have ever had with accommodation across ALL my travels. And I hope I never have to encounter anything like this in the future. Where do I even begin? My family and I were traveling around the Scotland and were staying in Oban for a night. …

Thank you for such a lovely review there was no refusal of breakfast as the other guests in the dining will agree. Please get your accusations correct I never even spoke to you about breakfast. The problem was that you paid for only 4 guests and you brought 5 guests in and blatantly refused to pay the extra person and still haven't paid now

Comfortable place to stay in Oban

The Don Muir Guest House was a nice and quiet B&B that was also very convenient to Oban. We arrived and were greeted by Caroline. She provided a great recommendation for dinner, showed us how to park for free in Oban, and how to walk to/from town. We also negotiated a load of…

Overnight B&B

I booked this one well in advance, initially for myself and my wife for a booked trip. Due to another event my wife could not go, so I took my 7 year old daughter with me. I didn't even think to notify the owner. On arrival I found out that the premise policy is for older…

Looking for lodging for nights of Aug 7th & 8th, possibly 9th. 3 adults, one 15 year0old female (mother, father, daughter, grandmother) One room with 2 big beds or one big bed and 2 singles would work.-Or 2 rooms if not too expensive. Anxious to experience small town life in Scotland. What would be cost per night? Thank you.

The cost is £40 per night including breakfast. If you go onto the website you will see which rooms I have left available for those dates. You can decide if these are suitable for what you want and book using the secure booking button at the top of the page. Anything else please let me know. Kind regards Caroline

Hello. I am interested in booking 2 rooms (for 3 adults) on Friday 29 May, 2015 however our ferry does not arrive in Oban until 11:40pm that evening. Is this feasible for you or should we look elsewhere?

Good morning There's no problem with that time. My husband or myself will wait up for you to show you to your rooms. If there are 3 adults I either have a family room -- this has a double bed and a single bed in it and is ensuite or I have a twin room ( 2 x single beds) and a single room. Both these 2 rooms share the same bathroom. If you need any further information please don't hesitate to contact me. I look forward to hearing from you. Kind Regards Caroline
