Stayed there for two nights in the large 2nd floor room overlooking the water. Great Views, but the bed could use a new matress and the bath needs a shower enclosure or at the least, a soap dish in the tub. More

My wife and I visited Oban for our wedding anniversary in September and stayed at Kilchrenan House. From the moment we arrived, we were made to feel welcome. Colin was a wonderful host, the rooms were clean and ours had magnificent views across the bay. Breakfasts were great too (try the pancakes if they have them). We stayed 5 nights... More

My lazy son and I stopped at this B&B for one night. It was easy to find and greta to look at. I was guided by the Lonely Planet Guide and chose the recommended room overlooking the estuary. I disliked the bath in the room but that is just me being pedantic. The quality of the furnishings was excellent and... More

We planned to stay 4 nights. But because of the unfriendliness of the staff, even in front the owner couple, we quit after one night. The quality of the breakfast was horrible. There was only poor warm water to shower and to bath.We can only warn of a stay at this location More

First, I do not understand the negative comments about the B&B and/or the owners. We stayed here in September for 4 nights and were totally delighted. The owners were helpful, gracious and welcoming in all respects. We had a flat tire on our car and Colin, the owner, made arrangements for a local repair service for assistance. Now on to... More

We stayed here 3 nights. Our room (#15) was very large and had a great view of the harbor.Colin was helpful with directions and restaurant recommendations. The location of this BandB is just great. We could walk to all shops, restaurants, and the harbor in Oban. We would stay here again. More
