We arrived at Old Manse VERY late at night having traveled from the highlands with a detour around Loch Ness. Had been in email contact prior to arrival indicating we might be late but did not have a cell phone to call and let them know how late. After waking the owner up, (who was at first rather disgruntled) we... more

Comfortable room and a huge bathroom in a lovely old house. Wonderful view from the dining room and garden, good breakfast. Friendly and informative hosts, lots of maps, details of places to go - whether you have a car or not (there is a car park if you do!). Only a few minutes pleasant walk from the town. We'll definitely... more

Very comfortable B&B well appointed. We had a nice welcome and room which was at the side had all that we needed. I asked for herbal tea in the morning for breakfast, when we returned that evening herbal tea had been added to the tea and coffee in the room, very thoughtful. They do not have a residents lounge but... more

From the moment we arrived we were made to feel at home by Simon,Anna & Ruby, and throughout our stay they were always available to give us advise on walks/visits Etc. Accommodation and food were all excellent. We are sure we will return at a later date and would advise anyone looking for a holiday in Oban not to have... more

We stayed at The Old Manse for two nights last September with our young son (2 years old). We had a fantastic room, breakfast was great and Anna and Simon were lovely hosts. We used Oban as a base to go and visit Tobermory on Mull(Balamory to everyone with children), the ferry terminal was within easy walking distance. Hector especially... more

Dear Anna, Simone and Pickles: Sorry for the delay in writing, hard to believe that it has been 6 months since our trip to Scotland. Jean Claude and I want to thank you for making our delayed honeymoon worth the wait. Our 3 weeks in Scotland took us many places but none compared to the warmth that we felt in... more

Stayed two nights at this excellent Guest House run by Anna and Simon. From the first e-mail to the final goodbye our hosts made us feel very welcome. We were fortunate to book early and get one of the upstairs front rooms overlooking the bay with views of Mull in the distance. The entire house was spotless; the breakfast was... more

We stayed 1 nite at OMGH and had a great stay. Quaint house w/very pleasant innkeepers (Anna & Simon). Our room was on 2nd floor, had nice view of "bowling green", very clean & well kept. Nice touches such as brandy and biscuits in room, nice CDs of local Scottish music, and a nice gathering room with lots of details... more

My wife and I stayed at Old Manse on the basis of all the positive reviews here and it was probably the best days on our two week journey across the UK. Simon and Anna couldn't do enough for us from having a pot of tea and (my favorite) butter cookies when we arrived to our last delicious breakfast before... more
