We visited Oban on Saturday May 5th on our way to South Uist. Hawthornbank is situated overlooking Oban Harbour. We had a great view from the room we stayed in - No 5, the Victorian Room. The house itself is a very pretty stone house. Morvan is a delightful host and a wealth of information about the area. She greeted... More

Just back from a wonderful stay here at the Easter weekend. Great hospitality from our host Morven, she couldn't have been more friendly or helpful. We stayed in the Regency room with the four poster bed, absolutely beautiful with a fantastic view over the bay. Breakfast was superb with plenty of choice. The guest house was only a short walk...

Great hospitality as soon as we entered the house. Morven was very pleasant made us feel very welcome immediately. Our room was spectacular with a great four poster bed (best sleep in years). View was just lovely overseeing Oban and the isles. Breakfast was very well made and was relaxing to eat in such a nice room. Morven was very... More

A really excellent bed and breakfast. We had a lovely double room, beautifully decorated and with lovely original features. The breakfasts were delicious. It was all very reasonably priced at £75 per night. It is only a short walk into Oban, which was beautiful. Morven really makes this excellent b&b special. She is an outstanding host and couldn't have been... More

We arrived at the Hawthorne after a drive to stay one night on our way to Coll. Morven greeted us at the entrance and our two year old daughter who normally sizes you up before talking to you promptly handed Morven her precious Teddy. We reckon if she does that then its an OK place to stay, and she was... More

On our way to an island adventure we stopped in Oban after flying to Glasgow overnight from Toronto. A cab delivered us up the hill to the back door to the guest house. Morven met us at the front door, sized us up -- I'm sure we looked tired -- and delivered us to our beautiful four-postered bed room with... More

From the moment Morven answers the phone to take a booking - that's when the warm welcome begins. Hawthornbank is ideally situated in the centre of Oban with everything just minutes away. There is nothing that could be done to improve the guest's experience at this guesthouse. The rooms are immaculate with plenty of fresh towels every day, tea &... More
