Stayed one night before departing for a ferry. Valerie and Alan were very welcoming. Very clean and well presented guest house, the view from the room across the bay was lovely. Although we did not have a cooked breakfast, cereal, fruit and pastries were available. The children even had their own bowls and cutlery. However the family room only had... More

My wife and I stayed at this bed and breakfast on our drive through Argyll. The hostess was very nice and had very good suggestions on places to see in Argyll. Overall it was nice place. I gave a lower rating on cleanliness because the sheets on the bed had a decent-size stain on it that the person should have... More

Valerie and Alan looked after us beautifully, giving us delicious breakfasts to putting pink dressing gowns on our children's beds.....nothing was too much trouble. The house is very near the sea front so everything was a quick walk away. We would recommend Thornloe to anyone, especially if you want a clean handy place catering for children.

Rather nice B&B in a lovely, peaceful location. Stayed 2 nights, bedroom was nicely decored, bed was very comfortable, with high quality white linen and a nice, snug duvet, in which I slept deeply both nights. Bathroom was clean, well presented with Organic Scottish Lavender body and hand washes. Towels were like new, thick, high quality cotton, shower had good... More

We stayed at the Thornloe for three nights when we first arrived in Scotland. It could not have been a better stay. We were there with our two children (1 and 4) and my parents. The inn was clean and well-maintained. The inn keeper was accessible and incredibly helpful when we had questions. The location was also perfect...just a 2-3... More

The Thornloe B&B is perfectly located in town with a short walk to the Harbor and all the sites. The view of the Harbor from our room was wonderful. The room was quiet, comfortable, and roomy. Plenty of parking for our large rental car. Oban is a beautiful area and we hope to return to see even more.

We had a wonderful stay at Valerie and Alan. We felt like family members. Val could answer any question we made. Also good understanding for sport life when returning with dirty clothes from orienteering competition. The breakfast was delicious served in the room with a stunning view over the city roofs to the sea. Garden terrace. Walking distance to the... More

My wife and I stayed over 2 weeks in Scotland and England. We would rate Thornloe #1 of our bed & breakfast stays from Edinbugh, Oban, Keswick, London and Lyme Regis. The breakfast meal was superb (best of the trip) and advice sound on walks about the area. Excellent view and an overall great experience. We would eagerly return here.

Great little inn overlooking the water in Oban. Rooms were comfortable and well-decorated, breakfast was delicious, easy walk to town or up to Tower. Oban is a charming town with plenty to do and see.
