Lovely room, clean and well stocked with tea/coffee facilities and fresh milk. Thomas was delightful and served a delicious hot breakfast in the morning. Just wished we had asked for some toast too.

For us, Failte is the perfect place to stay. Thomas made us welcome (again!). The house is almost magical displaying the most striking artwork by family members. I was riveted! Our room was lovely, had everything we needed and a big choice of reading material just outside the door! A great choice of fresh fruit, cereals, continental breakfast plus the full Scottish beautifully presented. A mini fridge with fresh milk. All the little things. Back soon!
Tips:Parking downtown requires patience - a bit of hanging about watching for others leaving. At £1 an hour, we thought it must contribute to the town's budget, so well worth it. Quick lunches available along the main streets and the pier area. Lots of shops and crafts. Boat trips are popular. We take the coastal road down to Kilmartin Museum including a walk out to Dunadd sustained by a cracking lunch at the Museum cafe! Check the times for these ..... Oh! and much, much more!
Would Recommend: Yes
Owner Response:Thank you for your lovely review! We're delighted that Failte feels like the perfect place for you. It's wonderful to hear that you enjoyed the unique artwork and the cozy amenities in your room. We’re pleased you appreciated our breakfast selection and all the thoughtful details. We can't wait to host you again soon!

We had the most incredible stay at Failte B&B - we would return in a heartbeat! The rooms were beautiful, incredibly comfortable, thoughtfully furnished, spotlessly clean, and immediately felt like being at home. Breakfast was terrific, and Thomas was always incredibly welcoming and full of fantastic local tips!

A great location above the harbor with a short walk to McCaig’s tower and all the attractions of the waterfront. It is uphill from the harbor, so be prepared for a steep, but doable climb. Failte is tidy, quiet & relaxing with a certain quaint charm. We were met with very friendly service, great breakfasts and all the amenities one might need. We would highly recommend a stay if you are in the area.
Tips:We had wonderful meals at Piazza on the pier and Cuan Mor, and enjoyed shopping and a tour of the Oban Distillery. One highlight was our 2 hour trip with Oban Sea Tours, to see local sea life and castles from the water, but trips to the many islands nearby are also available from the local ferry terminal.

If you travel by foot with luggage then note that it is a very steep walk up to the house. The reward is a wide view over the Oban rooftops.
Tips:We had a very nice dinner at the Waterfront Fishouse.
Would Recommend: Yes
Owner Response:We are situated on Oban Hill and it is just a ten minute walk from the town centre. As we are part of the Highlands, the towncentre is surrounded by hills. If you have heavy or big luggage we recommend to take a taxi. Thank you for your review and for staying with us.

My room was quite cozy with a lovely wee bed in which I slept quite well. The breakfast was delightful and hosts most pleasant.
Tips:Great bookstore in town and the fancy restaurant EE-USK, while really, really, good was very expensive. But I did have a lovely harbor view, so you can consider that. Food was excellent. I found Jacob's Ladder, while being more extreme, an easier walk to and from town than the road. Highly recommend David's taxi.44 7578 704700

We arrived on our bikes and had a very warm welcome from Thomas. He showed us to the lockable bike shed and then to our room. He then brought us tea and shortbread, a really lovely gesture after a king day cycling. The room and bathroom were very comfortable and had everything we needed. Breakfast was superb, a good choice of cereals, homemade yogurt (delicious), very nice bread and a freshly prepared cooked breakfast. Scrambled eggs and smoked salmon set us on our way for another day in the saddle. Thank you for a lovely stay. The B&B is at the top of Oban so that was the only train I marked it down one point because I was done with hills on the bike but I would definitely recommend to anyone and would stay there again if I was in Oban. Thank you
Tips:McCaibs tower is not far from the B&B and definitely worth a visit with amazing views over Oban.. We are at Piazza on the waterfront, where we had a delicious meal..

When I arrived received such a warm welcome got shown to my beautiful room, although I had a welcome tray in room was asked if I wanted a pot of tea with shortbread that came to the room that was such a lovely touch. The room itself was clean & lovely it had a window seat which I loved. The following morning the breakfast selection & quality of food was amazing I would say the best I have seen for a guest house. It did feel like a home from home and that’s what you want it to feel like.

Failte is a hidden gem in Oban! And Thomas is a very gracious host. Upon arrival, he provided tea and shortbreads, and even brought fresh milk to our room for our in-room coffee and tea. The bed and the pillows were very nice and the bathroom facilities were clean and bright. Failte is located up a long hill, but within easy walking distance to all the attractions that Oban has to offer. We certainly recommend a stay at Failte.
Tips:A minor quibble: If you’re coming from the USA, be sure to bring an adapter with multiple outlets, as this historic property has only one or two electrical outlets in each room for phone charging, etc. (We’ve found this to be true for many historic B&Bs in the UK.)

Following an exhausting day of touring we arrived at Failte Bed and Breakfast in late afternoon of 1st September 2022. Sensing our weariness owner Thomas greeted us warmly and invited us to settle into our rooms and then return to the dining room for a pot of tea and shortbread. Such a kind and thoughtful gesture hit the spot and quickly relaxed the three of us. Of all the other establishments we visited during our motoring trip through the Scottish Highlands none was a match in terms of warm welcome, cleanliness, facilities and scrumptious breakfast. Failte is truly the crème de la crème of B&Bs.

My recent stay was as perfect as the many others I have enjoyed in previous years. Thomas and Isabel have maintained the uniquely high level of care and welcome that Failte is known for. It is quiet, yet ideally situated - only a 5 minute walk to Oban sea front, and rail, train, and ferry connections. The breakfast options are of the highest quality, and cater for all appetites and tastes. The rooms are spotlessly clean with stylish decor.
Tips:Try to get to at least one of the nearby Inner Hebridean islands. Kerrera, Lismore, and Mull are all within easy reach.
Would Recommend: Yes
Owner Response:Thank you for staying with us again and for your terrific review. We look forward to seeing you again in the near future.

We had a wonderful overnight stay at Failte . The highlight was the breakfast which was superb and the Eggs Benedict exceptionally good. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay again. Thank you so much to Thomas and Isabel for hosting us. Rosie & John
Tips:We stayed in the ‘Small Double’ but have to say don’t let that title put you off. Yes the room is small but the hosts have packed EVERYTHING you need into this small but stylish space. Clever storage solutions and creative use of the space with a window seat make for a comfortable and well equipped room especially for just the one night.

Thomas couldn't have been more helpful. I was so very appreciative of being able to get in to my room early and stay for an hour in the morning. Lovely extra touches such as fresh milk for my tea and a chocolate by the bed! An amazing choice for breakfast. It really isn't a serious negative but I could always do without all the extra cushions in the room as I never know where to put them all!!
Tips:My best recommendation for dinner is Coast - I had a really excellent meal there. And the Fishermans Shack by the ferry for lunch.

Breakfast was delicious, freshly prepared and plentiful.
Tips:The B&B is located at the very top of a hill. No issues for us, but do bear this in mind. Oban appeared very during our stay. We really struggled to find somewhere for dinner.

Thoroughly enjoyable and made to feel very welcome and looked after. This was one of the best bnbs we have been to. The bnb was excellent overall - the house had great views, everything was comfortable, in order and well-signposted. Thomas made us feel very welcome from the very start. As we were heading out early for the day, he very kindly offered us a packed breakfast for the next morning and this ended up sorting us for both breakfast and lunch! The in-house breakfast the next day was lovely, lots of fresh, home made ingredients, and his recommendations were also very helpful as we navigated Oban itself.

Very welcoming and friendly considering our last minute booking and accomodating of our motorbikes. Tea and biscuits on arrival and useful information about the town and area including fish restaurants on the front. Attention to detail throughout, very clean rooms, choice of pillows. I actually enjoyed the short walk to the front and meant the location was really quite and had beautiful views of the islands. Have already recommended and would book again next time I'm in the area.
Tips:Ee-Usk and Waterfront restaurants both great. Oban Inn has an offering of local beers and whiskeys. If you struggle to get a booking on the Mull ferry from Oban, consider the Corran to Ardgour ferry then working your way to Lochaline to get to Fishnish on Mull and then Tobermory, a great day out.

This is so much more than a B&B. Lovely comfortable room, delightful decor, large, airy, spotless bathroom, nothing too much trouble. Loved the old prints in our room and also the powerful paintings by Isobel and her son. Thomas’s breakfast spread is wonderful with Eggs Royale on a potato scone such a breakfast treat. Highly recommend staying at Failte when you’re visiting Oban.
Tips:Coast is a lovely restaurant with good food and great service. Recommend booking. Suggest booking. The shop on the corner by the harbour - Oban Whisky & Fine Wines - has the most amazing selection of gins and other spirits and wine. And some great packs of small bottles for presents. And a very helpful, friendly Manager.

Thomas is an excellent host and made us feel very welcome. Nothing was too much trouble. The room was excellent with lots of thoughtful touches such as storage and power sockets. The breakfasts were very good with an excellent selection available. The location is only a short stroll to the town cente with it's very good range of restaurants and coffee shops. The property is on high ground behind Oban so walking home may be a bit of a challenge to some, but the views and quietness make up for this. Highly recommended and we look forward to staying at Failte again.
Tips:Oban is a quiant old seaside town which is fun to explore. It's main attraction is of course the CalMac ferry service from the well-equipped terminal. It has many fine dining opportunities. Some favoirites for coffee is the Chocolate Shop on the waterfront, and the Green Shack near the ferry terminal for excellent, freshly-cooked seafood. There is a nice walk along the seafront to the war memorial and up into the nearby forest. The Mandarin serviced laundry is also very handy.

We absolutely loved our stay at Failte! We stopped in Oban at the end of our two week trip in Scotland and it was the perfect place to relax before heading home. Beautiful clean and cosy rooms with wonderful views and delicious breakfast, we had everything we needed. Thomas was an absolute delight and took great care of us, while being very careful about covid rules. The B&B is a 5-10 minute walk from everything you need with the waterfront outside your window. I would definitely recommend staying here to anyone taking some time out in Oban!

From the moment Thomas greeted us by name at the door and showed us to our room we knew our stay was going to be worthwhile. OK let me start with our room We had a double deluxe room which was just beautiful... All perfectly dressed with a mini fridge also! Always a winner. The bathroom had a power shower which was just beautiful and the Towels where fluffy.. Again a plus!. Toiletries were included, shower gel, hand gel body lotion and cotton balls (a must for us ladies taking makeup off) then we noticed the little addad extras that makes Failte stand above the rest.. 2 face cloths, shower cap, mens Razor and ladies sanitory wear. We have stayed in more expensive Hotels and B&Bs... The Failte outdone them all!! Now comes the breakfast... What can i say here? We were given the choice of slot for breakfast as Thomas is very conscious of the social distancing rules (Thank Goodness!) We had homemade muesli and Granola fresh Scottish raspberries and blueberries to compliment the homemade yogurt mmmm! Bread and banana bread again homemade and a choice of jams of course homemade. It doesn't end there!! The choice for the cooked brekkie went from full Scottish which we thoroughly enjoyed on our first morning on the 2nd morning I opted fro scrambled egg and toast. The eggs were beautiful and utterly devoured!. There was no hassles at checkout either Thomas left is to it, no rush to throw us out which was appreciated. He even helped wen I asked about a taxi to take us down the hill to the bus station. (£3)so it didn't break the bank. The Failte is just up the hill a wee bit from the main street but it is walking distance, McCaigs a tower is about 8/10minutes walk away. I could go on and on about Failte and the artwork flooding the stairwells all done by Thomas's wife Isabel and his Son Pascal... Outstanding work!!! The Failte is definetly well named, we truly were given a Scottish welcome... Thanks Thomas your a real gent... All said and done we had a great stay here and look forward to a return trip in the near future

This is a well presented clean and stylish bed and breakfast. Thomas is a lovely host. I didnt meet Susan. I had to leave at 7.10am for an early long hospital shift on some of the days so I coudn't have the lovely cooked breakfast which is well worth it because Susan is the chef and doesnt start official breakfasts until 7.30am. Thomas however made sure I had coffee fruit,cereal and toast which was much appreciated. The ambience is pleasant and the artwork that adorns the walls is unusual and striking. The bedroom that I stayed in was clean, comfortable and had a single bed, a small ensuite shower room coffee making facilities and little added extras. I think Thomas makes a huge effort to make guests feel welcome and I would definitely book again.
Tips:Covid restrictions will limit some activities but if you have a car and are staying in Oban for a while I would recommend a drive down the Mull of Kintyre to Kilmartin which is stunning. Or visit Easdale (slate) Island and Seil. The Crinan Canal and Tayvallich Nature reserve or Knapdale home of the elusive beavers, The Oban distillery or Ganavan Sands and Dunstaffnage or Dunollie Castle are closer by. The Isle Of Lismore is a 50 minute ferry crossing and has incredible panoramic views from BarrMOr and a cafe open 7 days a week during the season.

Location up a hill but still close to town centre so not a problem. Plus it gave good harbour views. Room 2 was a little but small. The door could only just squeeze past the side table. But again it wasn't a big problem because the bed was so comfortable! Lots of facilities (e.g. toiletries in the bathroom, mini fridge, fresh milk). One comment is that there is possibly too much in the bathroom! My opinion is bar soap is unnecessary in addition to liquid hand soap. I did appreciate a sanitary towel in the bathroom though - a very thoughtful detail. There was a large selection at breakfast. I am said I did not get to try everything. I'd like to come back to try everything!

Situated on a hill and I think all the rooms are upstairs so not ideal for people with mobility problems. The double room for 1 person was fine but for 2 people would have been a little cramped. The host and breakfast was lovely. The room was very clean and the bed and pillows were very comfortable. The only slight disappointment is that there was no where to sit in the house to relax, like a lounge.
