“In my opinion, this guesthouse, a manageable walk from Oban centre, truly shines with its thoughtful touches. I think the sea views, enjoyed from the rooms, are a definite highlight, and the option to have breakfast in your room adds a relaxed, personal feel. I believe details such as bathrobes and sherry decanters contribute to an experience that guests clearly find exceptional.”
