We were very pleased to get a room here at the last minute, after we had been let down by another guest house. I booked from the local (very helpful) Tourist Information Office, a little nervous as I usually like to do some research! However, we couldn't have been happier with our choice. Beautiful, modern room. Very comfortable and great... more

Graeme, the hotel owner, is wonderful. When we arrived we mentioned going to Iona. Graeme asked if we had made reservations on the Oban to Craigmore ferry. OOPS! He immediately went inside, called the ferry company, found out what trips were still available and made a tentative booking for us. We had a ferry trip scheduled and paid for in... more

My wife and I have just returned home from a four day stay at the Glenburnie. What can we say????? The hotel is fab and just a 10 minute walk into the town. Our room was huge and spotless, with fantastic views over the harbour. The breakfast was immense and certainly set us up for the day. However, Agnes was... more

I booked Glenburnie after checking TRIP ADVISOR, and sure enough, it proved to be a well run, welcoming establishment. Great location - a short coast walk to the ferry terminal and the main shopping area. Breakfast is the best you'll find anywhere. Owner was very helpful, and Agnes, our morning waitress, was a real star. Very good value. Recommended. more

Our family had two non-connecting rooms located behind a fire door on the second floor. The front room had an amazing view of the water. Fantastic breakfast, especially watching the "character of a waitress" in action. Both rooms were quite big and each had a bathroom. Graeme, the proprietor, was very helpful in terms of restaurant choices, etc. The hotel... more

A family gathering at the Glenburnie was booked by my auntie and as we have never stayed at such a wee place before, admit that we were a little apprehensive. However, the bedrooms were all tastefully decorated, some with magnificent views out to the bay. All the beds had teddy bears on them, which the kids loved! The lounge was... more

Just had a one night stay in Oban with my girlfriend at Glenburnie. The room was very good quality and clean and the breakfast very good for me. Welcome from owner who ensured we had a very enjoyable stay. Will definitely come again and would recommend without hesitation. more

Glenburnie was a nice place - the best part was probably the room. We had a nice large room with a nice bathroom. Upon arrival/checking in, no one spoke English well, and it was hard to communicate with them. Never met the proprietors, which is one of the reasons we stay in the B&B's and small hotels. Oh well. Oban... more

My Husband and I stayed at the Glenburnie for a two day break in September 2006. We thoroughtly enjoyed the traquility of the Glenburnie. After a very tiring day of sightseeing, it was great to sit at night in the beautiful bedroom overlooking the bay and watch the boats and ferries coming and going. In the morning it was a... more

I disagree with one of the last comments about the elderly waitress. You have got to be kidding! She was the nicest lady and had the best sense of humor for any elderly person I have encountered for a long time. She has been with them for a long time and we loved her. She was priceless and efficient. The... more
