My husband and I spent 3 nights here in mid-May. The B&B is small enough to provide a uniquely personal experience. Fiona (the owner) keeps a spotless place and cooks lovely breakfasts each morning. The views from Avoncraig can't be beat since it overlooks the entire town and is across the street from McCaig's Tower. The entire community is walkable.... More

Clean and cozy room with shower, good continental breakfast with some bakery items in addition to the usual commercial stuff, and friendly helpful proprietor. A short (but STEEP) walk to town with some of the best restaurants we encountered in the highlands. Be sure to visit the park inside the tower and view the town and bay at sunset from... More

We had a one night stop at Avoncraig before catching an early ferry the next day and were very sorry it was such a short stay. Fiona made us feel so welcome and our room (No 1) was absolutely beautiful, with a lovely view of the town and a superb ensuite. The bed was very, very comfortable and everything was... More

What a fantastic review! I'm so pleased you saw the deer. It's been wonderful watching them. They've been visiting frequently but I didn't know they had been at the front of the house. I'm glad you enjoyed everything and appreciated your packed brunch so much. Please come back if you're ever in Oban again. Fiona More

We had a super one-night stay at Avoncraig B&B in Oban. We had a gorgeous room with a super view over the town/sea and beautiful en-suite. Fiona made us feel very welcome. She gave us a helpful map with local restaurants circled and descriptions for each one. The location was great- quiet but near to town, very close to McCaib's... More

The room was first class, the bed was really comfy. The view from the B+B is spectacular. Breakfast was lovely, cannot fault at all and will definitely be back when I am in Oban. It is a really quiet location away from the town centre but still only a 5 mins walk away.

Avoncraig is a small B&B situated on the hilltop next to McCaigs Tower overlooking beautiful Oban harbour. We enjoyed starting our day in the breakfast room taking in the view, and more often than not, brilliant rainbows over the harbour. Our host Fiona made us so welcome and prepared lovely breakfasts during our four night stay. The bedroom and ensuite... More
