It was a nice stay, Ishbell was very kind. Altough our bedroom was small for two people and the lugagge, but the rest was good.

This was our second time staying here and yet again we were made very welcome. Ishbell and James are such lovely and welcoming people, the bedrooms are very comfortable and spotlessly clean, i wouldn't hesitate to recommend a stay here.

I can not give 4 or five stars to this B&B because I found the toilet and the washbasin quite dirty and full of hairs, that never happened to me before in a B&B, but I have to admit that the rest of the facilities were great, the dining room, the living room and the bed (really comfortable). The owners... More

I chose Sgeir Mhaol Guest House for its proximity to the centre of Oban. It is very easy to find and has excellent parking facilities. I was warmly welcomed by Ishbel and shown to a very nice double room, with small but perfectly adequate en-suite facilities, tea and coffee making facilities and TV. When travelling alone it is very difficult... More

This is a lovely and well kept guest house. It is in a quieter neighborhood but convenient to the town center and all attractions. The room was very nice with ample space and a very up to date en suite bath. The hostess was very charming and helpful and breakfast was very good.
