A neat little b&b above the town with very nice views, tiny but effective bathroom, and a friendly black cat. Breakfast is in the town at Carolyn's Cafe. Reasonably priced, entirely comfortable, would stay there again.

We stayed one night before getting a 7am ferry. The room we stayed in had a double and single bed and a travel cot (which we had requested, it didn't have any bedding but ended up not using it anyway) The room had lovely big windows looking down over the harbour. The room was spacious even with all the beds... More

We stayed in this small b&b one night. We arrived and Carolyn, the owner was there waiting for us. The first thing she told me was "there has been a problem with you bookin". I didn't know what to answer, cause I was worried she had no room left. But the situation was much better! We had an en-suite room... More

Carolyn was very welcoming on arrival. Showed us to our room which was a small double having its own toilet and wash basin. The room was very clean and well equipped(even fresh flowers!). We had to share a bathroom but it was only a few steps away. The bathroom was huge and toiletries were provided. Breakfast was served at Carolyn's... More

The room was very pleasant, clean and with an excellent outlook. The sign outside says B&B but we were told that breakfast was available at additional cost at the cafe run by the owners. We were informed as we arrived that the cafe was not open on a Sunday and to help ourselves to cereal from the owners kitchen. As... More

Thank you for your review. There seems to be a bit of confusion as breakfast is very much included in the price, it is served in our cafe which is just 2 mins down hill. The cafe is open all day on a Sunday from 9am and from 8am every other day, If guests require an early breakfast on any... More

We are not keen on B&B's as a rule as rooms are generally too small, but we did not find his the case with the room we had at the Lorne View. The view from the room was stunning with 2 fabulous sunsets. We had a car and parking in the street was not a problem and was free. We... More

View is truly outstanding. Rooms are beautiful. Breakfast is nothing short of the full works and is available most of the day, I think, which is handy considering how difficult it was to leave the very comfy bed. Carolyn is endearing and Rab is a gent, both charming with great sense of humour. Couldn't imagine anywhere better to experience Oban... More
