We spent two nights at the Kathmore, 3rd and 4th Feb. The guest house is easy to find, has ample private parking and is very clean, there is also an excellent breakfast choice. Morven is very friendly and welcoming and I will certainly visit the Kathmore again as it is an excellent base for discovering Oban and the surrounding area.... More

As other people have said Morven is very helpful and hospitable. We were made to feel very welcome and everything is well organised with excellent choice of quality breakfasts. A short walk... More
