Magnificent view over the Loch
Nice place, with a magnificent view over Loch Creran. Convenient room with nice bathroom, although a bit small. Parking available next to the property. The nearest city with restaurants and shops is not in walking distance.

Great B&B place, short drive out of Oban. Hosts are gracious and deserving of their many awards. We even got enough sunshine, to sit outside with tea and fresh scones taking in the most glorious views of distant clouds rolling over the loch.

The property offers a wonderful view of the water, is very well appointed, and offers a gourmet breakfast at an additional cost. It was a bit further away from Oban than we thought, but not insurmountable.

We were wonderfully surprised at the very high standard of the property. The attention to detail was exceptional. Quiet, private rooms and everything you could possibly need for a pleasant stay was provided.
Would definitely recommend to friends.

Definitely not 5 star service and facilities. Reception was rude and cold , and the room is not at all as represented in the listings. Very noisy with no soundproofing, small room without sitting area, and not a superior double room with two bedrooms as represented. Hotel does not accept credit cards for room service (had to go to ATM 8.5 miles away), and does not provide vegetarian options. 3 star to 3.5 star at best. Seriously misrepresented.

Lovely small B&B where breakfast is optional (if you're not an early riser). The well-appointed rooms all have a private patio with a comfy love seat and a beautiful view of the loch. A lot of care and thought has been put into the design. Our hostess was lovely and quite helpful and her restaurant recommendation of the Old Inn was truly appreciated - best steak ever in a centuries old stone house. This was a lovely getaway from the more touristy areas and very handy to Glencoe for some very memorable hiking.

Our room had amazing views of the loch and mountains in the background. The owner is quite courteous and helpful. The accommodations are outstanding!!! Hot tubs, outdoor sitting areas, two indoor sitting areas with walls that are massive windows overlooking the loch, and a wonderful eating area. It’s quiet, peaceful, and the rooms are well appointed. This is a must stay if you’re in the area and have at least a couple of days.

Fantastic stay in a super apartment
We had an amazing stay at a fantastic apartment. The room was huge, very classy and extremely comfortable. Everything was stylishly presented. We especially love the luxurious bathtub in the room. Our host Gregor was kind and attentive. He alerted us to a problem with one of the tyres of our car and helped us inflate it. We appreciate the wonderful hospitality plus the super apartment!

We got upgraded to a better room than we had booked! The room we stayed in was very cosy, with lots of storage (shelves and drawers) and a fridge. The decoration was beautiful. The bed was very comfortable. The bathroom was very well designed and the shower had lots of room.
The only thing we might change would be the blinds over the window/door: they looked amazing but did not block the light and I was awaken very early by the brightness in the room. Next time, I'd bring an eye mask.
