“It's a guest house in cool location with a "Bates Motel" style host. You know how most owners are genuinly friendly , this one is a "special" type, a very suspicious one, I actually saw a guest running away in tears screaming " you are a horrible , horrible man" once... I had no idea what it means but it just happened... He also once said " I bought some cheese, because we have some new guests, they're danish and danish like cheese" Note, before that moment we stayed for a few days in a hotel and cheese wasn't there, it was only bought for danish ... And finally in that pic attached you can see the owner himself " Tony" sleeping in a dining area... Enjoy the guest house, it's a quirky one”

“The place sits on a hill overlooking Oban and the host, Tony, is very accommodating. We asked to switch from a room across the hall from the bathroom to one with a private bath and he did it right away There was hot and cold breakfast served in the morning. A very good stay.”

“Absolutely loved my stay here a few years ago - Tony was the kindest host and went out of his way to make me feel comfortable and welcome. I wish him and his business all the very best and hope that our paths will cross again in future! Highest recommendation!”
