On arrival we were struggling with the key box and the (presumed) owner came out to help us. His demeanour was neutral at best, although he was quite friendly during the rest of the stay. When we saw the room we were really disappointed at the size and the facilities (coffee maker squeezed into a dark corner behind the coat hangers, broken showerhead). Going by the photos and because we had paid for an upgraded room, we had expected two armchairs. When we rang the bell to complain no-one appeared and when we phoned there was no answer to the two messages we left. The following day, on our return the lady of the house asked if the 'room was OK now'. Strange behaviour. The breakfast was outstanding and well worth the extra £10 each.

Cute place right next to the water

The place is right next to the water - unobstructed view. The 0.7 mile walk to center of Oban was nice in good weather but we got wet several time (expected this for October). Public transportation was hard to find so needed our car. Our room was a little small and cramped, but we could see other larger rooms. Check in and parking was a bit of a hassle. Great “Continental breakfast “ that included meats, cheeses, baked goods and more- well worth the modest cost

We appreciated the deep silence of this stone, multi-floor structure that faces the harbor on a main thoroughfare. We recognized its two white gables as we exited the Isle of Mull ferry at 9:00 PM. Our key was waiting for us in a lockbox for late arrivals. The morning buffet (£10/person) was remarkably tasty and generous.
