We stayed here for 3 nights in June. Our room was at the front with a sea view, perfect for relaxing with a cup of tea and watching the ferry sailing out to the isles. The plush decor was well coordinated and stylish. The location of the house is perfect. There was no road noise at night, and a 10... More

We stayed there in August for a few days. We had a lovely big room overlooking the seafront, and others in out party had rooms inside which were a bit cramped, but overall a lovely place to stay. One of our party settled the bill on our departure without me having any involvement (I had made the booking). A couple... More

I am sorry that some guest can use trip adviser to vent their anger at being charged for staying at Alltavona, I do contact guests if there has been a problem with the bill or a query has been made on the bill, at time of departure there was a dispute by customer saying she had paid a deposit for...

Nice location on Oban as you can walk into the centre. Great views across the bay. We had just come from a bit guest house and the rooms here are cramped made a little more tight by all the cushions and decorations in the room. The shower was in a wardrobe and I could hardly fit in the toilet. Breakfast... More

I am sorry you did not like my cushions and decor. I am always being praised for my interior design and decor. Even interior designers are impressed with my flair. Unfortunately it is not everyone's taste. The bedrooms have been converted sympathetically to be in keeping with the era , to accommodate en suite. Perhaps if you would like minimalistic... More

One of the best things about Alltavona is the splended views across Oban Bay and the Harbour. All rooms are well appointed but some lack space for those who do not travel light. Of course, it is best to ask for a "room with a view". As the road is not a through-way there is very little traffic and you... More

This was our second trip to Scotland and our first visit to Oban, which was beautiful. A nice city to walk around in and shop. Alltavonna was a nice B&B on the esplanade which was really outside of the main area of town. A little bit too much of a walk for me, especially due to the rainy weather at... More

I am so pleased you enjoyed your stay but have to write regarding the room. As I have stayed in many hotels I think it is fair to say that nearly all hotels rooms would struggle to accommodated four large suitcases opened. Perhaps you might not require four large suitcases and would not have to taken them into the room... More

We stayed here during our 8 day trip through Scotland. Carol and her husband were wonderful - warm, charming and clearly have made a successful business of their B&B. The location is great, and the rooms were clean and comfortable. They were a little frilly and over-crowded with furniture for my taste, but the tartan rug in the main hall... More

We stayed for 2 nights and were pleasantly surprised by the lovely rooms, which were much more impressive than the rooms our friends had in hotels nearby. Breakfast was to a high standard and the place had a genuine friendly atmosphere. Would highly recommend! More

Beautiful room with great views, decorations, flouncy which may not be to every ones taste, lots of cushions and ornaments! Parking was a bit of a shuttle at times, although you can park on the road for free if you can find a space. Dining room too cramped with furniture and very disorganised, would be a good idea to give... More

We arrived at Alltavona and got a lovely welcome. The rooms were spotlessly clean and one had a view of the bay which was lovely. We only stayed one night but will definitely return another time. Breakfast was amazing!! More
