“nice oceanfront hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 November 2011

very good location just facing the ocean. Nice guesthouse and very good breakfast. our room was big and with nice view of the sea. clean, very nice and kind staff, they gave us good suggestions for dinner and tours in general. 10 minutes walk from oban main center. Only negative side was the bad weather, but this of course had nothing to do with the hotel which has a cozy atmosphere.

“Comfortable Setting, but Missing Charm”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 November 2011

Stayed there for two nights in the large 2nd floor room overlooking the water. Great Views, but the bed could use a new matress and the bath needs a shower enclosure or at the least, a soap dish in the tub.

Room Tip: If you prefer a shower, ask if the room has one.

“Kilchrenan House”

My wife and I visited Oban for our wedding anniversary in September and stayed at Kilchrenan House. From the moment we arrived, we were made to feel welcome. Colin was a wonderful host, the rooms were clean and ours had magnificent views across the bay. Breakfasts were great too (try the pancakes if they have them). We stayed 5 nights in total and if we ever return to Oban it will be to stay at Kilchrenan House.

We are a family of 4 (2 young children) and have recently stayed a this B&B for a week. It was our first time in Scotland and we had a fabulous time. Accomodation is always important and we were delighted with Kilchrenan House. The room was comfortable and clean and the staff superb.They treated the kids to cakes on a daily basis.Oban is a great base to explore the coast of Scotland.

“One of the best on our road trip...”

My lazy son and I stopped at this B&B for one night. It was easy to find and greta to look at. I was guided by the Lonely Planet Guide and chose the recommended room overlooking the estuary.
I disliked the bath in the room but that is just me being pedantic. The quality of the furnishings was excellent and the view across the estuary was so superb, I set up my camera and tripod to get some dusk shots as ferries passed in front of me.
The room was one of the best I stayed in during the trip.
The breakfast was served hot, on a hot plate and was very yummy.
The lady who greeted us upon arrivel was very friendly and made a good impression.
Overall, I was very pleased with the stay.
Cost wise, it was more expensive than others we stayed at but I believe we got what we paid for.

Room Tip: I think it;s room 10...look it up in Linely Planet. Top of the stairs to fllr 2 and the room is righ...
