Everything at Alltavona House was wonderful! Staff were friendly and offered suggestions for this to do and see whilst in Oban. Included parking was a nice perk and the walk into city centre lovely along the promenade. The breakfast was basic continental, but fresh and with a wonderful view of the bay! I definitely plan to return.

Tips:

The wildlife boat tour was informative and peaceful. We sae seals, Highland Cows, seabirds, and even a dolphin! Definitely visit McCraig's Tower for the hike and views from on high.

The Lorne was very reasonble, and the food was good! For fish fans, try Ee-Usk. The Alba Deli, Albany Street has lots of delicious goodies

Very friendly staff, clean and well equiped rooms with a lovely victorian décoration. The house is located on the waterfront, and some of the rooms (not all) have a direct view on the bay. Small private parking lot but the owners will make their best to accomodate your vehicle even if it is large.

Tips:

We spent only a night in Oban, but the island of Kerrera is rarely mentioned on the guides but really worth the visit (count 3-4h to walk around by foot)

Traveling with another couple, we voted Alltavona Breakfast as THE BEST of our entire 2 week Scotland trip. The variety willingness to accommodate dietary restrictions was appreciated. Would highly recommend this hotel to anyone in the area.

So Friendly and helpful - Over and beyond service - helping with the car parking and luggage up to our beautifully decorated room with the most comfortable beds! The location and view and sitting on the front patio was delightful! The breakfast spread was elegantly presented with generous amounts of fruit, cheeses, meats, pate and a variety of pastries and cereals and yoghurt and berries! Everything was done with such care and concern for the comfort of guests. We can’t recommend this well priced and well located accommodation more highly!

It's a little bit of a walk to town, but manageable. Could be challenging for older guests. The Studio was a comfortable place, but would benefit from a better mattress that doesn't transmit body movement as much. However, it was sufficiently comfortable. Could use lighting over the mirror in the bathroom. We had two great sunsets when we're there. Excellent breakfast was served.

Tips:

We had fish 'n chips at top two top shops, Oban Fish 'n Chips and George Street Fish House and Chip Shop, both were very good. Stores close by 5:30, so if you're on a tour that gets back late in the afternoon, there won't be time for shopping.

We have just returned from a 3 night stay at Alltavona House and would highly recommend it to anyone. The house is beautifully decorated and has gorgeous views over Oban bay. Caroline the proprietor and her staff are very friendly and helpful, they go out of their way to make your stay enjoyable. The continental breakfast has a wide variety of cereal, fruit, meat, cheese and salmon.

Tips:

We took a trip down to Seel island via Atlantic bridge. Also we went to Port Appin stopping at Benderloch Bookshop cafe for lunch. On our way to Oban we stopped at Poppies garden centre cafe for lunch.

Beautifully decorated room and house. Can tell Carol put in a lot of thought and effort into the decor. Clean and comfortable . Great view . You can sit and relax on the rattan chairs provided on the patio and enjoy the view and fresh air. Carol was a very lovely, friendly and thoughtful host . She gave us a room on the ground floor after informing her that we may have a bigger luggage. But we transferred our things to a smaller bag for easy access and she offered us a choice of room upstairs with sea view . Very quick response too, should you need any help or anything to ask. Thanks Carol and family

Tips:

Easy to get around town. Within walking distance to great cafes, delicious seafood , Oban Distillery and shopping.

Thank you for your feedback and delighted you enjoyed your stay. The coffee machine is quite difficult to work but when ou know how to do it , it works perfectly . You need to pull the leaver forward to operate. I am sorry you had problems using it you should have asked one of us and we would have shown you how to operate or the book is i the drawer.

Tips:

Park the car facing the sea, reverse in. The Oban Inn great pub open to 12am, then if you want more Markie Dees on the way home in the basement of a peach coloured victorian building hotel is busy and open till 1am

We had another wonderful stay in this lovely/homely guest house. We stayed in an ocean front room (stunning) and would highly recommend you do the same if possible. The views are breathtaking. Paul and Carol are so proud of their business and rightly so. It is spotless, comfortable, peaceful and very well equipped with everything you need for your stay. The staff who clean the rooms (apologies we did not get their names) and serve breakfast are very friendly also and can't do enough to make you feel welcome and well catered for. We are already planning our next stay. Thank you Alltavona, we look forward to seeing you again. Karin & Ken L

Tips:

The location of this guest house is perfect as it is just a short walk into the centre of Oban. If you like otters (like we do), Ollie hangs around the coast nearby and will put on a show if you are lucky. There are lots of walks you can do nearby also. Coast restaurant is an absolute must but we recommend you book in advance as it is so popular. Eeusk and its neighbouring Pizza restaurant were very good also. Very friendly staff and a good selection of food. Trip advisor is good to source different places to visit too.

Very friendly, helpful owners and staff. We were stuck in Oban during the recent heavy rain, all roads were closed in and out, we had no accommodation booked as we had been on the Isle of Mull and our intention was to drive home that day, trying to get somewhere was stressful as everyone was stranded and needed an overnight, Carol was fully booked but took our number, luckily there was a cancellation, Carol rang us and phew, we had a room which turned into a 2 night stay. So relieved as lots of people had to sleep in cars. Would definitely recommend Allvatona, and should we be stranded again they will be our first call.

Alltavona House is a lovely place to stay. A short walk to the town centre makes it an ideal base for a stay in Oban. Rooms are beautifully decorated and well maintained. Hostess Megan is a wonderful ambassador for the guest house. Her outgoing and friendly personality puts everyone at ease as soon as they arrive.

Tips:

Be sure to take advantage of the boat tours and ferries to Mull, Iona, Staffa. The fresh seafood is not to be missed. Restaurants can be very busy so be prepared to book a table or be patient enough to wait for one.

Being situated on the shore front, the view is nothing short of amazing - particularly at sunset. It was a last minute plan for us, as we could only stay for one night before our onward trip to Mull, so we’re happy to have chosen Alltavona House.

Obviously the Games at the end of August are well worth visiting if you have never been before. Tobermory has a unique Marine Aquarium it is very different and kids will enjoy touching some of the creatures. The boat trips round the island of Kerrera on a calm day are beautiful. A visit to SAMS ocean marine science centre's visitor centre is great for thinking youngsters.

The antique furniture and fixtures was so quaint and added to the ambiance of the experience staying in the older historic house. Our sleep was comfortable and the included breakfast was nice. It is a pretty decent walk away from the town centre and there is no lift to the upper levels, so keep that in mind if you have issues with mobility and/or carrying luggage up stairs.

The B&B was simply perfect. The location facing the harbour and Oban Bay is remarkable. The accommodation is clean and originally decorated. The breakfast is varied. A good place to stay if you want to spend a few days in Oban.

Tips:

A visit to the Oban distillery is well worthwhile. Take a walk along Oban Bay. Delicious fish and seafood restaurant on the EEUSK harbour

Really liked the ease of checking in and out with the key safe. Spoke to Megan twice and on both times she was lovely and very helpful. Room and bathroom were spotless. There were plenty of towels and hot water although the hot water is very hot. Would defo stay again but in a double room this time as my husband is a bit tall for a single bed but as we booked last minute we didn’t think there were any available

Tips:

I would highly recommend The Oban Fish and Chip Shop. We sat in and the fish was fab. Went to EE-Usk also, food was fine but there was a lot of faffing about at the door dodging people with plates while waiting to be seen to our table. If you get a chance do the Seafari at the Corryvreckan pools. Fantastic experience and we saw lots of wildlife too

Superb! Great check in procedure. Beautifully furnished spotless room with wonderful views and lots of little extras. It is in a perfect location and the hosts go above and beyond to make you feel welcome. Alltavona is always my number one choice when staying in Oban, not only because it is so comfortable and welcoming but also as I am often catching an early ferry. The key safe check in procedure is very easy and effective with great communication before arrival. This means that late arrival or early morning departure for a ferry is no problem at all. I also love the fact breakfast is not automatically included in the nightly rate - many times in other establishments I have been charged for a breakfast I can't have because of early departure. Look forward to my next visit.

Located in a fantastic position overlooking the bay. Excellent communication from Carol regarding our visit. The room was brilliant and facilities superb. Coffee/tea tray was great - I like a lot of milk in my coffee and normally struggle with the two cartons available. I was delighted with the volume of condiments available. It’s the little things that count! We didn’t have breakfast but could see from the number of guests eating it was a popular choice. I did get a glimpse of the breakfast selection and it looked delicious! Would definitely return and recommend. Thank you Alltavona for a lovely stay 😊

Highly Recommend this beautiful BnB - upon arrival you are welcomed by the beautiful water view - parking is on premises in the front of the home. We were greeted at the door by Meg who manages the Inn and who greets you with a wonderful smile and is there to help with any needs you may have. The Inn offers a very nice Continental Breakfast every morning - You can smell the croissants baking in the morning. Easy walking distance to town center- we were only able to stay a few nights - but certainly felt like we were “home”.

Tips:

If you are interested in taking the ferry with a car to Mull be sure to book in advance! No. 17 has a great restaurant - only a few doors from Inn. Oban Distillary has tours and tasting - Great to walk around shops or just sit and enjoy the view!

Alltavona is your home away from home, beyond that the whole house is beautiful. The rooms are decorated with exquisite taste taking care of even the smallest detail, no matter what room you sleep in all are spectacular. Fabulous breakfast with luxurious views of the bay. But without a doubt the best thing is the warmth and hospitality of Carol and her team, which makes you feel like you are arriving at a friend's house. It is the best guest house in Oban without a doubt.

Tips:

eat fresh seafood for a very cheap price at the wooden stall next to the ferry terminal - dance ceilidhig in Oban View ,exquisite pub food in Cruan Mor, Oban is a lovely villa with many options for travelers.

The bed was really comfortable made for a good nights sleep.I loved the gold tiles in the shower, as well as the luxurious shower there was also very deep bath. Perfect to relax in after climbing up to McCaigs tower.Breakfast in the dinning room with sea view sets you up for the day. Easy stroll, along the esplanade to shops and restaurants.Really look forward to staying with you again loved our first visit to Oban.

Tips:

Nories fish and chips,fresh cooked and tasted fabulous. Ee-Usk look for the red roof on the north pier we had the sea food platterlovely selection. With a champagne cocktail. McCaigs tower steep climb or you could drive upto the car park, but the climb is worth it for the views.then you have earned a ice-cream.lots to choose from . Lots of local crafts and plenty to fill in a few days in Oban

The Cuan Mor restaurant is highly recommended, both for its location on the harbour front and for its cozy atmosphere and great food. The Oban Inn is another must-visit establishment either for a quick pint or a bar meal. And the Oban Chocolate Co carry the most delicious handmade chocolates I've tasted in a long time.

WE took the ferry from Port Appin to Lismore and hired bikes. Was a great day, but not as flat as we were told! We took the ferry to Mull in addition. From here we did a wildlife tour from Tobermoray with SeaLife Mull. Fabulous half day in which we saw minke whale/dolphins/seals/purpoises and eagles.

Lovely to be back at Alltavona after an absence of about 12 years. High standards maintained as we expected. We did greatly miss the super breakfast nicely served with personal attention in the dining room.

Tips:

We always enjoy eating atEe-Usk (fish) and Piazza (pizza) on the pier. Booking essential. Get a window seat if you can and watch the sun go down over the harbour and the comings and goings of the boats. Far too much to do in and around Oban to mention here but trips to Mull, Iona, Staffa, Coll, Tiree are fantastic. Kererra, close at hand, is a super walk round too.

Welcoming, friendly host and staff set in great location and an easy stroll into town along the bay front. Perfect for catching a ferry to other islands.

Tips:

Lots of great places to eat locally caught fish and other produce, nice independent shops in Oban centre. Nice traditional-style pubs and some great fish and chips, scenery and interesting places to see and visit. Loved Mull and Iona and also coastline up to Fort William, Port Appin and along Loch Lomand. Wonderful

Alors que les chambres de la maison, sans doute plus petites doivent avoir, au moins pour certaines, une vue extraordinaire sur la baie.

Pity about having a rather limited breakfast in the room. The great breakfasts in the dining room with a view were the highlights of previous visits. To be honest the cramped space, limited seats and very small table made breakfast in room 7 quite difficult - and left crumbs everywhere! Still we got here and it was still good!

Tips:

Does seem you need to book a table to eat anywhere decent. As usual the walk to Ganavan Sands and back was full of wild flowers, sea birds and good views.

In our six days in Oban we experienced a number of excellent restaurants - EE-USK, Pizzeria, and Fisherman's Warf were the most delightful. Our trip to Mull and to Iona was a highlight. Our trip to Appin was also an experience with a quiet, rural town and landscape on the sea.

On a personal opinion and being positive, we do not enjoy breakfast in the room due to not being able to sit at a table. We felt there was food wastage due to the fact we were provided with eg. ham which we did not eat but enjoyed the eggs that were offered. If you could ask people to complete a simple form the night before it would prevent this wastage on our part. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would return.

This is a lovely home. We really enjoyed our stay. The beds were very comfortable, and the breakfasts provided were delicious and filling. There was a small fridge in the room as well which was very convenient for us to use for pop and other small items we had. There was a claw foot tub in the bathroom; loved it! Felt very spoiled using it. 😊 The staff was the best though. Warm reception, and very friendly. I’d definitely recommend Alltavona House.

Tips:

We heard good things about the boat cruise to see the seal colonies, but unfortunately didn’t have the time. The views from McCaig Tower were certainly worth seeing. It’s a lovely town to walk around, have coffee and people watch. We really enjoyed our visit to Oban.

Lovely comfortable room. Quiet overnight and blackout curtains a bonus. Amazing view from room 6, great to watch ferries going past. Breakfast was plentiful and delicious and delivered on a tray by smiling staff. However we found it a bit cramped to eat at small table provided and would prefer to eat in dining room.

Tips:

Lovely day trip by short ferry to Kerrera, then enjoyed walk to tearoom.

Very welcoming and accommodating. The bed was very comfortable had best sleep. The breakfast package is very nice perhaps too much for every Day, But We loved the idea tho the table is too small for 2. Rõõm 3 was too small we got moved to 7 & that was better space and seaview to wake up to.

Tips:

Well located many areas to eat. For drinks Weatherspoons at the port is really nice and clean. Visit Seil Island

Slightly marked down for old tv & quite small, however not a massive room to house a larger one. Roof slope meant a few bumped heads when forgetting where you were sitting. Other rooms don’t have this worry.

Tips:

Great choice & variety of restaurants within 10 minutes walk. Weather was dreadful, limiting choices in & around oban. We had to settle for driving rather than outdoor pursuits.

Best staff and owners I have ever come cross. could not do enough for us. Given covid restrictions, breakfast was in the room or in hall way, a bit cramped. We understood, suggest one table in dining room would work, as our room was small. However there is no easy answers to this covid19.

Tips:

If you want looked after and cared for, this is the place.

This b&b was fantastic, carol done all she could do to help us , making sure my husband had gluten free Options for breakfast. We had a sea view and the room was fantastic, could have sat there all day watching the world Go by . Thanks

Tips:

I wouldn’t recommend the Piazza on the pier , the service we had was shocking , we actually got our dinner served before our drinks arrived , the staff had Masks on , but a lot of Them weren’t wearing them properly , taking them right down to talk to customers , no point in having it on , we were in and out in under an hour, totally rushed

I understand that normal service (dining room, daily room servicing) costs more when Covid mitigations are applied, but while it is demand not cost that keeps the prices to customers high, I would have thought a more normal service could be afforded by the establishment.

Tips:

We had a delightful meal at the restaurant 'Coast'. The Ocean Explorer Centre at Dunbeg is great for ages 5-105, in wet or dry weather.

Alltavona House is a very large period house which is beautifully decorated. We stayed in twin room with high ceilings and a large en-suite bathroom which again was beautifully decorated. Our stay was very comfortable and the landlady made us feel very welcome. We had an early ferry to catch next morning so the landlady made us a special breakfast for us to have in our room before we left. Amazing service
