We stayed for one night in the deluxe sea view king bed double room (£104). Huge room, very comfortable bed. The house is kept very traditionally and is just beautiful. Breakfast was delicious. Graeme, the owner, is a nice and interesting character and very helpful. He house is located on the Esplanade, just a quick walk from the town centre.... More

Visiting Oban previously, this time I picked Glenburnie, it was brilliant, a room had a private bathroom, I especially liked the fresh fruit for breakfast as well as the cooked one. The Entrance is so wellcoming with the flowers and chairs. Laterone I went to on a boats trip and along George Street and the big shop near the bus... More

We have stayed at The Glenburnie for several years, each year staying just two nights, the first two nights of our annual Highlands & Islands garden tour. Aside from the warm welcome and Graeme's can-do-will-do attitude, it is superbly located, just far enough away from the town centre to enjoy a little peace and quiet, but only 10 minutes flat...

I have been fortunate enough to have stayed in lots of lovely hotels over the years but Glenburnie in Oban has been the best I have stayed in so far! Wonderful room, great breakfast, superb bed and beautiful views across the bay. The massage in the room from Joan was a real treat too, far better than any you would... More

Have stayed in Oban quite a few times but this has to be the best place so far! A last minute booking direct with the hotel was initially for a ground floor twin, travelling with my mum who usually avoids staircases whenever possible. On arrival Graeme suggested we might like instead, to have two separate front view rooms for a... More

This is run in a most professional but friendly way. It is located overlooking the sea and a room with a sea view is obviously very desirable. The room was spacious with plenty of casual seating. It was well equipped with a slick modern bathroom ensuite. Breakfast was delicious, with an especially nice touch being the fresh fruit selection served... More

We stayed for 2 nights in mid-October 2011 and were extremely happy with our room and the great breakfast in the morning. I’d say that it’s a good 10-15 walk along the harbor from the bus/train, especially if you’re dragging roll-aboard suitcases, but you’ll likely appreciate being not too close to the centre of town. Graeme and the staff were... More

I stayed for one evening in the Glenburnie and was delighted with every aspect of the service and accommodation. Undoubtedly it is in my view the best guest house or hotel I have stayed in during my very many trips to Oban over the last 20 years. The member of staff who greeted me on my arrival on a very...

On our visit to Oban I booked on-line Via Graeme. This was well catered for, carried out with such class leading skills. I asked if I could leave my car at the Hotel in the morning as we were going on the 'Three Islands Trip' from the ferryport very close by (Highly recommend the trip aswell) and this was made... More
