“A wonderful place t end & begin each day!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 September 2010

Blarcreen House is a bautiful old farm house surrounded by Loch and green. We only met Steve and he was a lovely host. He helped us to choose our activities more wisely and our say was a lovely experience. This property fully deserves it's rating and we felt it offered excellent value for the location and ambience. We stayed 2 nghts and used it as a base to explore the western highlands.

“Beautiful house and very nice hosts”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 May 2010

This is really a lovely bed and breakfast with a great deal of ambiance. It is about a 30 minute drive from Oban, but it is an easy trip and well worth it. The rooms are impeccably clean and spacious, with nice touches like a private refrigerator in the room and a large DVD collection available to borrow from. Steve and Shelly are very friendly and hospitable. They obviously take a great deal of pride in their home, as well they should. We wish we could have stayed longer!

“It's a lovely building and location but the hosts are difficult.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 August 2009

The three hosts all reminded us all repeatedly during our two-night stay of their insistence that we 1) vacate the building during times when they building is closed, 2) return from being out of the building before a certain time, and 3) leave after our second night before a certain time.

Blarcreen, Proprietor at Blarcreen House, responded to this review

Dear Mr Doty
A regular guest informed me of your review and whilst I agree with what you say and do apologise I thought I would respond.
You were a group of four, two of which were very elderly, you arrived at check in at after 12 midnight which was not a problem, at breakfast you asked if your elderly parents could have breakfast in their room, which I agreed to as they had such a late night. We do not have many house 'rules' but one is that we close in the day between 11am and 2pm so that we can clean, shop etc. At 11.30am I knocked on your door and stated that we were closed and asked politely if you were near to vacating soon, yes you were you said, it was gone 2.30pm by the time you departed for the day. You arrived back at after 12 midnight again, upon which you were told that check out was 10am. You arrived for breakfast and asked again if your elderly parents could have breakfast in bed - unfortunately I did decline to the second request and they came down for breakfast. I did say again that check out was 10am, at 12.30 you checked out. I am not sure as to what Bed and Breakfast means in the States but in the UK Bed & Breakfast means what it says, whilst we try to accommodate all reasonable requests, not all can be accommodated and I do apologise if you were not fully satisfied but could I just say that if you do tour the UK again I would suggest that a hotel would be more suitable for your needs. I hope that you understand the need for me to respond as I would hate for other potential guests to think that your experience was in any way typical as we believe we are very laid back people and welcome all guests with a warm smile and laughter!
