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.

I was made very welcome even though I was sitting on the flower pot when you answered the door. My room was comfortable. The offer of tea and shortbread was a god send. Also there was a good choice for breakfast. I had to stay until I good get to the harbour to pick up my ship and was allowed to stay until it was time for my taxi. Also enjoyed another pot of tea and shortbread.

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.

We stayed with you for a night in March. The place was absolutely stunning and the room was perfect for the two of us. We enjoyed being greeted with some scottish shortbread and tea- perfect for a cold, rainy march day in Oban. The homemade jam and the fresh bread was a delicious way to start the day. We still rave about the jam to this day! Everything was amazing and we cannot wait to come back! Falite Bed and Breakfast is a must and was one of our favorite parts of our Scotland trip! Thank you for all of your hard work and inviting us into your gracious home.
Tips:This place is in the perfect location! Just steps from local bars, the Oban distillery, bakeries, fish and chips, and the Oban chocolate shop. Although our visit was filled with rain and cold weather, there was still plenty to do, including spending time outside. We were unable to check out the neighboring islands but we were told they are a must see. We enjoyed a tour of the distillery as well as taking walks along the water.

Outstanding. Our last trip here in 2019 was fabulous, yet Thomas proved this was no fluke. His hospitality is perfect - quiet yet available and interested in his guests. The cleanliness in this Bed and Breakfast is unbelievable. His rooms and their bathrooms are utterly spotless. Fresh milk in a small fridge to make yourself a nice early morning cuppa before a big breakfast....the ideal start to a hard day being a tourist.
Tips:EE-Usk restaurant is amazing for fresh seafood lovers. But book - it gets busy. The Oban Chocolate Company for a stunning hot chocolate and caramel brownie. The Oban Inn for a great pint and local ‘buzz’. The Oban Distillery - superb venue for a whisky trial and purchase of local souvenirs.

The room was perfect, the tea and milk was a nice touch, and the bed was comfortable. The breakfast spread in the morning was lovely, with good vegetarian options, and the freshly prepared meal was delicious.
Tips:If you are around in the winter, when a lot of touristy sights are closed or have limited access, if it isn't raining too hard, I recommend the view from Pulpit Hill over the bay, if you're up for the fairly steep climb. Along Gallanach Rd there are nice views of the nearby islands. The Oban Chocolate Shop is a great place to sit, relax, and look out over the bay. The Sticky Toffee Pudding at Cuan Mor with a dram of Oban Distillers Edition is also recommended.

Very good B&B where a lot of thought has gone into the rooms. Comfortable and well appointed, and breakfast was also excellent. We are hard to please as we have hotel/accommodation experience - but glad I chose this place! Thank you for a great relaxing stay. The only thing I'd consider would be a couple of roller blinds for the windows. Would be nice to sit in the window seat with a blind down when it's dark.
Tips:Coast restaurant is great and very reasonable. Chocolate company is great for a treat and open Sundays. We also drove to Seil which was stunning and only half an hour away!

My daughter and I had a lovely two night stay. She stayed in the single room and I stayed in the main floor double room. Both rooms were small but well appointed. We were comfortable and Thomas was very hospitable. It is a climb to the B and B, but we enjoyed it as we liked the views of the sea and Oban along the way. Having parking was a real plus as we parked our car and walked to everything which was a break from driving on the left hand side of the road!
Tips:We really enjoyed the tour of the islands and dinner at Eeusk Restaurant. We also found a little place on the harbor that sold fresh seafood, and we bought a large order of mussels fresh from the sea for just a few pounds and ate them standing up. I don't remember the name of the little stand that sold them, but it was near the ferry.

Very good coffee Thomas and Isabel will look after you very well but book well ahead of your visit.
Tips:Delicious fish of all kinds in large or small places Walk round the town and find places high up looking across the roof tops to Mull across the water. A beautiful old fashioned pharmacy with the original wood drawers and fittings in the walls.

I was very impressed with the detail and the little touches that made our stay more enjoyable. The breakfast was so good and I particularly liked the 'home made' element. I found the dark wooden stair flooring particularly at night, in half light, quite risky to negotiate. I was uneasy going down the stairs. Just an observation.
Would Recommend: Yes
Owner Response:Thank you for your fine review. We will look into getting a brighter light into the staircase.

I had a wonderful stay at Failte --unfortunately it was too short and I couldn't fully savor the comfort, the breakfast, etc. The house and rooms are decorated with great taste and everything reveals great care. The B&B owners were helpful in getting me a taxi for the station and had plenty of advice for places to eat.

We were disappointed that there was no solution for an early breakfast or a breakfast oackage to take with us. We had to leave 7:20 am for our ferry. The orice for the room is too hugh without breakfast.
Would Recommend: Yes
Owner Response:We are sorry that you could not have our delicious breakfast which we serve from 08:00 to 09:30 as per our website. For our packed breakfast we need at least 24 hour notice for our shopping to include fresh ingredients. Sadly you only advised of your requirement on arrival.

Very friendly and helpful owner, immaculate and beautiful place with splendid and interesting works of art by owner's son and wife (especially an inspiring painting by his son entitled 'Give all you have to give'). Decor is beautiful, atmosphere very relaxed. Breakfast is of a very high standard. Nice and quiet. Not far from ferry, but if you have heavy bags you can get a taxi up the hill for £4. Less than 5 minutes to walk down.
Tips:The Fishouse by the ferry is very good. Book in season beforehand as it's very popular. There's also a stall selling good shellfish etc during the day by the ferry, popular with tourists. There's a small cafe called 'the little potting shed' up a side street at far end of Main Street which we really enjoyed. Otters to be seen in the harbour at sunset. Beautifully situated town, nice to walk around.

Charming host with nothing too much trouble. Comfortable room and all aspects very clean. Breakfast of wide choice and the cooked element superb. This is certainly a keeper and if I am fortunate to visit Oban again (which I hope to do) the Failte will be the number one choice to lay my head.
Tips:Oban is situated on the sides of a steep hill so a taxi will be needed to reach the Failte. It is easier to reach the waterfront when going downhill (at a run). Eating places are plenty and good quality from tea rooms to restaurants. Views are spectacular. Boating trips available although I was on a Hebrides Cruises week long adventure. A wonderful holiday.

A very nice house, within easy walking distance of the town centre. It's on a hill, which is the only drawback for those with poor mobility.

What a lovely stay! We were greeted and treated so warmly throughout, and our host Thomas was very helpful with his food and sights recommendations. He also provided a map, which was very helpful. The room we had was very comfortable - gorgeous bedding and well appointed. The attention to detail in the amenities and special touches did not go unnoticed! Local chocolates in our room were lovely, and everything was thought of. The breakfast was DELICIOUS - both continental and full Scottish were available, as well as some other options (eggs Benedict, scrambled, etc). Large portions for the hot breakfasts, so come hungry! The home is in a lovely neighbourhood - very quiet, but mind that it is an uphill walk to town, so those with mobility challenges would want to drive home. Parking was tight but available on the street and in the driveway. Overall it was a wonderful stay, and we look forward to a time where we are able to return.
Tips:We enjoyed the distillery (including the tour), a walk up to McCaigs tower (just a few minutes walk from the BnB) for an amazing view of the harbour, and a meal at the Waterfront Fish Restaurant for famous Oban seafood.

L’endroit est vraiment charmant (a 5min a pied du centre et tout équipé) tout comme son hôte qui en plus de nous donner les bons plans de la ville, s’est également occupé de nous réserver une table pour le soir dans le meilleur restaurant de la ville (waterfront dis house) et nous a confectionné un petit déjeuner du feu de dieu le lendemain. Vous pouvez y aller les yeux fermés.
Tips:Avant d’aller dîner au Waterfront Fishouse allez faire un tour au Oban Inn (pub typique avec musique live) et goûtez une pinte de Dark Island, une bière brune parfumée qui a remporté le concours mondial de bière en 2017. Excellente.

Abbiamo alloggiato in questo graziosissimo B&B per due notti. L'accoglienza è stata eccezionale, Thomas è molto gentile, ci ha offerto una tazza di tè al nostro arrivo e ci ha dato tutte le informazioni utili per il nostro soggiorno. La nostra camera era molto pulita e attrezzata di tutto il necessario. La colazione è molto ricca, con prodotti locali e fatti in casa e, se lo si gradisce, Thomas prepara dei piatti caldi veramente deliziosi. Durante uno dei due giorni della nostra permanenza avevamo programmato un tour con partenza molto presto al mattino e Thomas è stato disponibile a prepararci una colazione da asporto, abbiamo molto apprezzato.

Everything was great, thank you so much! Perhaps one suggestion would be warning about the hill which was a bit difficult to haul our luggage up (if possible, you could offer to pick up luggage with your car from the train station at a set arrival time). Even without that though, we will be coming back every time we are in Oban.

Thomas was a very friendly and helpful host. The room was very nice and spotlessly clean. Just one very minor point there isn't a shaver socket in the en-suite although a razor is provided. The guest hose is on a fairly steep hill, probably not too good for elderly guests. Breakfast was excellent with a wide variety to choose from.
Tips:Lots of places to eat in Oban, the local Wetherspoons on the harbour is good for a cheap meal. You should visit the island of Mull and go to Tobermory by bus. (£11 return must pay with cash)

Tips:We loved the seafood dinner at EE*USK. The day trip to Mull & Iona was well worth it. We didn’t have time for the three island tour including Staffa, but we were told that this would have been a great addition. The Oban distillery tour is an easy walk from the B&B. I enjoyed this tour.

It was a wet, grey afternoon when we arrived at Oban. Although we were a couple of hours before check-in time, we went to Failte B & B to try and get a local street map. Thomas, the host, could not be more helpful. He showed us where to leave our car, gave us a map and also details of the local points of interest as well as detailed recommendations about places to have dinner. The location of the Failte is excellent, a short walk to town centre, distillery and McCain's Monument. The interior of the Failte is spotless and charming. The complimentary chocolate treats in our room were much appreciated. Breakfast was excellent and included freshly baked bread! Overall the Failte could not be faulted. Would certainly recommend it to fellow travellers.

Easy on-line booking, good information at ticket pick up, seamless transfer from ferries to bus & boats. All staff very helpful, great tour guides. The puffins on Staffa were amazing. Dinner in Waterfront Seafood Restaurant and Eeusk. Both very good; booking advised.Best seafood snacks at Oban Seafood Hut on south pier. Excellent tour of Oban Distillery. Fab chocolates & coffee at Oban Chocolate Co. Worth the climb up to MacCaig's tower for the view.Plenty more to see and do; we'll be back!

A really lovely bed and breakfast visit over two nights. Our room was beautiful and tastefully decorated, with a wide range of facilities/resources, and an excellent view over the town below. Breakfast was delicious with a good variety of choices. Would want to come back again.
Tips:Our host, Thomas, advised us about local restaurants. A visit to the Ganavan sands is well worth while. McCaig's Folly gave a good view of the town. There is the opportunity to take one of Macbraynes steamers to one of the Hebridean islands. Failte is on a hill at the top of the town, so it was good to have a car. Parking was easy.
Would Recommend: Yes
Owner Response:Thank you for staying with us and for your wonderful review. We look forward to welcoming you at your next visit.

This bed and breakfast was excellent. The breakfast was amazing and had great selection. You can tell the owners really put time and thought into their menus and all the extras that were in the room. Wifi was strong, the only thing that we had issues with was the shower. We weren’t able to regulate the water temperature, it was either scalding hot or freezing cold if you chose the high pressure setting but you could maintain a somewhat warm temperature if you chose the weaker pressure. This b&b is located centrally but be warned it is on a pretty steep inclined hill.
Would Recommend: Yes
Owner Response:We are really sorry about the shower. There seems to be a problem with the electrics and our electrician is coming over tomorrow. Thank you for your lovely review.

Thomas was an excellent host very cheerful, knowledgeable and made us feel very welcome at Failte. He makes everyone feel at ease and nothing was any bother.
Tips:Oban has a lovely mixture of restaurants we found Cuan Mhor, the new Fish and Pizza restaurants at the Pier excellent, The Chocolate Factory Waffles are amazing. Visiting McCaigs Tower is a must plus Dunollie Castle was a pleasant walk along the shoreline.
Would Recommend: Yes

Wonderful b&b. Host very welcoming offering tea and biscuits upon arrival. Even helped to carry our bags! Despite the fact that I forgot to book parking, Thomas had us park in his own driveway. Incredible breakfast. Easy access into Oban!
Tips:Go to Mull island then Ferry to Iona. That is easily a day trip. Didn't make it to Tobermoray - would have been an additional day. Do you take your time. The region is well worth it!

Lovely b&b, I've stayed in Oban countless times, so very ahead of many of the other b&b's. Attention to detail without being intrusive. Extremely comfortable bed, crisp white sheets, black out curtains, big windows with a fantastic view, immaculate ensuite, good breakfast. Any negatives are the same as any other place, parking not great, tight streets but that's just the age of when Oban was built, unavoidable. Would recommend, lovely personal touch, family art on the walls, a home from home.

A very welcoming and pleasant stay. On arrival we were offered tea or coffee with cake. The room was spotlessly clean and well appointed with a new en-suite bathroom, small fridge and tea making, comfortable bed and 2 sitting chairs in a bay window. The breakfast was delicious and abundant with choice. Each day the rooms were made and left a chocolate and milk in the fridge. Thomas and Isobel run a great B&B that was a joy to stay in and ideal base for staying in Oban.
Tips:Coast restaurant provide delicious food. A walk around the stunning small island of Carerra reached by a ferry nearby is enjoyable. Taking a car over to the Island of Mull is a great day with amazing views. A 2 hour nature boat trip from Easedale is wonderful. Easedale itself is an amazing story of a slate quarry village that flourished but became unable to continue.

Can't speak highly enough of Failte Bed and Breakfast. What makes it stand out from other b and b is the warmth of the welcome, attention to cleanliness, extra facilities such as chargers for 'phones/laptops, and superb generous breakfast. Thomas and Isobel seem to like their visitors!

The bed and pillows in #2 are not a comfortable as in #3. Wonderful breakfast every morning and Thomas and Isabelle are amazing hosts.
Tips:Great location overlooking Oban, but be prepared for a rather tough climb up the hill. I had forgotten how steep it was until the first time we climbed back up after dinner. Lots of good dining options in the town (you have to try Ee-Usk). The trip to Isle of Mull is worthwhile, as well as McCaig's Tower.
Would Recommend: Yes
Owner Response:Thank you for your kind review. The beds in room #2 and #3 are exactly the same and as for the pillows they are from different suppliers. We are glad that otherwise you enjoyed your stay.If you have difficulty walking up the hill we recommend the use of a taxi. Scotland is hilly.

Beautiful home on a hill in Oban. If you don't have a car and have luggage, take a taxi as the hill is steep. If you have trouble with hills Thomas will call a taxi for you. Alhough it is only about a 7-10 min. walk. Lots of taxi's at the square to get back. Great value B&B. Very well kept and breakfast is superb! They have GF toast also. Thomas is delightful and will get you anything you need to make your stay perfect. We stayed in Room 2 with a King bed. It doesn't allow a lot of space for lounging but we preferred the large bed as you will be out and about most of the time. VERY comfortable bed and comforter. Highly recommend Failte B&B.
Tips:Take the 3 Isle tour to Mull, Staffa & Iona. Quan Mor is a great place to eat. Has a GF menu. Waterfront seafood is great also but for a inexpensive place to get a lot of fresh fish stop at the Green Building (all it says is Local Shellfish) just before the Ferry building. Julie's has great coffee and the Oban Distillery Tour is fun.

A superb B n B. Beautiful room and spotlessly clean. Everything possible been thought of - extra sockets, USB chargers, tea, coffee, chocolate. Lovely large fluffy towels. Lovely to be given home made banana loaf and homemade shortbread with tea on arrival. Excellent cooked breakfast with bread, jams and yoghurt all homemade. An easy walk down the hill straight into the centre of Oban. We enjoyed sitting in the comfortable modern armchairs in our lovely bay window as dusk fell. Would definitely stay here on any future visits to Oban. Thomas was really helpful with recommendations for evening meals in all price brackets.
Tips:We loved the Waterfront seafood restaurant. It was an expensive evening but worth it for the most amazing scallops ever and superb langoustines. The surf and turf salad was fantastic too. Great view and very good staff. Also loved the Oban seafood shack on the quayside. Bought their seafood platter to take with us on the ferry. Superb and great value. Good sized Tesco where we stocked up ready for our week on Mull. Glad we had as shops on the island very limited.

Failte is up a hill minutes walking distance from harbour and town centre with wonderful views as many B & B s are in Oban.

My wife and I had a wonderful stay at Failte B&B in Oban. As soon as we arrived, Thomas, our host, came outside and helped us park the car. Then he helped us carry our suitcases to our room. He recommended two restaurants to choose from for dinner. He couldn't have been more helpful. The room was lovely, and the bed was comfortable. The view out the bay window was beautiful. Thomas thought of everything anyone might need and made sure he put it in the room. Breakfast the next morning was cooked to order and was delicious. We had a very pleasant stay and will return to Failte B&B when we travel to Oban on future trips.
Would Recommend: Yes
Owner Response:We look forward to you coming to Oban and Fàilte again. Thank you for your wonderful review.

We were delighted with our stay at Failte. Thomas is the consummate host. ( Even flagging us down in the rain at our arrival.) We were welcomed with tea and baked treats when we got settled and treated to delicious Oban chocolates each day at bedside. The B and B is spotless. We enjoyed a substantial and delicious breakfast each morning. Thomas made fabulous recommendations for dinner. Everything was perfect.

I enjoyed my 4day stay in Failte B&B, Thomas produced such delicious breakfasts, was attentive at all times to one's needs without being intrusive. The wide range and generosity of breakfast fare was amazing. I enjoyed the classical music whilst having my meal and the lovely art work around the house made it very homely. I liked the way the bedroom was freshened up each day and that hot drinks could be made in the bedroom.
Tips:I very much enjoyed a day visiting Mull, Staffa and Iona, it was a full day and I had a meal on the ferry at 7.00 pm coming back from Mull which was great. The local tourist office were extremely helpful to me in providing timetables and local information. The Oban museum had interesting artefacts, pictures, videos etc

This is a delightful BnB where the host is quiet, helpful and respectful. Thomas ensures you are welcomed and settled, then offers local information such as restaurants, areas of historical interest and "must see" sites. The staircase to the upper floor opens into a snug room with a bay window (Room 3) and provides views overt the town & towards the bay. Comfortable bed and corner ensuite, and with two chairs facing the bay window. Breakfast was great. We recommend the eggs benedict! Warm, welcoming and friendly. We booked for one night but extended it to two!
Tips:The George Street fish and chips was good, and although portions were a bit light, it was very good quality. Take the walk to McCaig's Tower on top of the hill for great photo opportunities over Oban, the harbour and nearby islands. We recommend the ferry trip to Mull and bus ride to Tobermory. A very pretty fishing village/town with loads of shops and eating houses.

Could not have been more comfortable, or better looked after. "Failte"......couldn't have been better named. I received the warmest of Highland welcomes, Thomas greeting me with tea, shortbread and homemade banana cake. Also appreciated the small fridge with fresh milk for an early-morning cuppa - another small touch, but indicative of the way Thomas and Isabel run their B & B. Breakfast was gorgeous, with coffee as I like it. Didn't really know Oban, but it's lovely. Would like to return - if I do I know where I'll stay! (John, Linlithgow)
Tips:For the freshest and best seafood, the Green Shed at the CalMac pier is a must - but wrap up warms! I had the best scallops I think I've ever tasted. Bought a memorable crab sandwich for the train journey home. Didn't make the Waterfront Fishouse, which I gather is very good. Went to the Oban Fish and Chip shop to sit in for fish and chips, but was waylaid by the mussels! Locally rope-grown, I had half-a-kilo with a beautiful, delicate Thai green curry sauce. The best mussels I have ever had. An hour-long trip round the bay, in bright sunshine and very calm conditions, was lovely. Unusually, I gather, we didn't see any basking seals. They were apparently swimming round the giant salmon cages on the fish farm as it was feeding time, looking for any spillage. A "must do" is a visit to McCaig's Tower, not far from Failte B & B. Fantastic views.
Would Recommend: Yes

Both the owners were very friendly and welcoming and the breakfast was absolutely superb. We really enjoyed our stay here and will definitely be back if we are in Oban. I would definitely recommend Failte to anyone who is looking for accommodation in the area.

Would Recommend: Yes
Owner Response:Thank you for your lovely review.We are glad that you had a comfortable stay and enjoyed our delicious breakfast. Fàilte gu - you will be welcome again the next time you visit Oban.

A wonderful bed and breakfast, especially the breakfasts bit, which were just divine, delicious and beautifully presented.

If you like Scotch, definitely go to the Oban distillery, go on a tour, and go EARLY. They have a bar with very good prices on decent whisky. If only it were open past 4pm. Not sure if you need to go to Skippinnish, unless you are 20. It wasn't quite what we were looking for (although makes for a good story). Go to the Green Shack. Everyone does, and there's a good reason why. Failte is walking distance from all of these things, and is lovely and clean and friendly.

I really loved the warm welcome, all the attention to details, the cleanliness of the house from the front garden throughout the house.All the homemade treats for tea and breakfast, and the lovely cooked breakfast. If I ever go to Oban again, I will definitely book into your B&B, and I will not hesitate to recommend Failte to any of my friends. the only minus bit, was the creaky bed, it was comfortable and the bedding very warm, fluffy and clean, but each time we turned, it creaked. My friends also commented the same.
Tips:Seafood temple and whisky distillery, we did not have any time to do anything else.

Well located up on the hill overlooking Oban and a short 5 to 10 minute walk to the waterfront. Pleasant room. Excellent breakfast with some different options to standard b&b offers.

What a find! A lovely warm welcome and the best breakfast ever - if you like good food this is the place to be. I chose fresh strawberries, blueberries and raspberries with home made yoghurt, followed by the best Eggs Benedict on locally produced potato cakes (with smoked salmon), then a slice of home made banana bread to finish - all washed down with fruit juice and perfectly brewed cafetière of coffee.

The name of this B&B means 'welcome' and that is how we really felt during our stay with Thomas and Isabel. Everything was perfect: the location, the room - very clean, with nice furniture and super towels - the breakfast was great - even with nice classical music in the background and homemade food with a lot of choice, all very fresh. It has everything to do with attention and feeling for details: we have been to several B&B's in different countries, but Failte is the best!

Chambre douillette, nuit confortable et reposante.

Everything fine, a very nice B&B just five minutes of (steep) walk from the town centre, the room was comfortable and clean, the breakfast was great. I will definitely come here again in my next visit!
Tips:You cannot miss the Oban Seafood Hut, a.k.a. "The Green Shack": local, fresh seafood with great value for money, and the famous Oban Distillery. Take a walk in the small town with its pubs and restaurants, climb up to the McCaig's Tower with its stunning view, take a ferry to Mull or Colonsay! Get to Oban by train and enloy the trip in the wildlife, through woods and lakes!
Would Recommend: Yes
Owner Response:Thank you for your lovely review. You are most welcome and we look forward to your next visit

We were made to feel welcome even late in the evening with a much needed cup of tea. The breakfast was excellent with all fresh ingredients. We were able to arrange to pick up our bags at a later time so we could visit a couple of the sites nearby. Our host was kind and has an interesting background of travelling and a house full of the family's art work.
Tips:Oban is a lovely small port and you should spend at ;east a couple of hours walking up the hill to the folly and along the esplanade.
Would Recommend: Yes

Most impressed by friendliness and attention to detail. My single room was small, but had everything that I required. Breakfast was excellent with a good choice. Good internet connection. Quite a steep 7 minute walk from the town centre. .
Tips:When making my way there with my luggage I decided to take a taxi - a good idea. Umbrellas are useful in Oban! Lots of good eating places - we enjoyed the Waterfront Fish Restaurant twice. Need to book in the evening. Also good fish and chips in Oban Fish and Chips.
Would Recommend: Yes
Owner Response:Thank you for your lovely review. We are glad that you enjoyed the breakfast and you were comfortable in the room.

Excellent location, the view over Oban and the isles is stunning! The front double room's bow window is magnificent and the bed is really comfortable. The house is very cozy and nice, everything is taken care for. On arrival I was offered a welcome tea with shortbread! Breakfast is abundant and varied, I appreciated the home-made jams and very tasty scrambled eggs with smoked salmon. Thomas has been really helpful and his suggestions on good fish restaurants were perfect!
Would Recommend: Yes
Owner Response:Thank you for your kind review. The wind actually did calm down and you could have very likely gone to Mull . Hope that all went well with your visit to Edinburgh and we look forward to your next visit.

Faultless. Lovely room and caring hospitality from Thomas. I do need to say that it is a quite steep ascent from the town to the guest house so it would not be ideal for people with walking difficulties. This is not a criticism just an observation.

We had a wonderful stay at your property! It was spotless! The room was beautiful, perfectly equipped and very clean. Thomas gave us a very warm welcome and breakfast was delicious every morning! We really look forward to plan another trip to Oban and explore deeper the area and we will definitely choose to stay with you again without a doubt!
Tips:We really appreciated the staff at the Waterfront Fishouse restaurant, they were friendly and the food was tasty and fresh! If you plan to visit some islands, Staffa tours offers very good rates and well organized day trips. Oban distillery is an interesting visit as well with tasting and many explanations. There are many nice walks to do around Oban, but you might need a detailed map of the area.
