Lovely guest house. Rooms are a good size and spotless, excellent breakfast and very welcoming hosts. Short walk into town but much more peaceful because of it. Highly recommended, we will be back.

Love the location only a 2 minute walk to the main street. The room was impeccable, very very clean and beautiful. We had an early start so the host packed us a cooler with breakfast for the bus, amazing service. I would love to come back here. Great B&B!!

Morvern the hostess was most welcoming - our room was excellent with a great harbour view. A short 5 min walk takes you into Oban for a good choice of bars and places to eat. Breakfast was great and really sets you up for the day. Would definitely stop here again. Recommended

We visited Oban on Saturday May 5th on our way to South Uist. Hawthornbank is situated overlooking Oban Harbour. We had a great view from the room we stayed in - No 5, the Victorian Room. The house itself is a very pretty stone house. Morvan is a delightful host and a wealth of information about the area. She greeted... More

Just back from a wonderful stay here at the Easter weekend. Great hospitality from our host Morven, she couldn't have been more friendly or helpful. We stayed in the Regency room with the four poster bed, absolutely beautiful with a fantastic view over the bay. Breakfast was superb with plenty of choice. The guest house was only a short walk...

Great hospitality as soon as we entered the house. Morven was very pleasant made us feel very welcome immediately. Our room was spectacular with a great four poster bed (best sleep in years). View was just lovely overseeing Oban and the isles. Breakfast was very well made and was relaxing to eat in such a nice room. Morven was very... More

A really excellent bed and breakfast. We had a lovely double room, beautifully decorated and with lovely original features. The breakfasts were delicious. It was all very reasonably priced at £75 per night. It is only a short walk into Oban, which was beautiful. Morven really makes this excellent b&b special. She is an outstanding host and couldn't have been... More

This B&B is fantastic, great location, easy short walk into the center of town. The house is lovely with beautiful original features. The rooms are spacious and have sitting areas as well as ensuites. We had two rooms, both were great, one was on the top floor with spectacular views over the bay. Morven couldn't be a better host, highly... More

We arrived at the Hawthorne after a drive to stay one night on our way to Coll. Morven greeted us at the entrance and our two year old daughter who normally sizes you up before talking to you promptly handed Morven her precious Teddy. We reckon if she does that then its an OK place to stay, and she was... More
