Lovely!-
We arrived somewhat out of sorts after a long drive in rainy weather with lots of traffic, but it didn’t take long to recognize and appreciate all the special touches that our hosts provided. The room was not large but worked well for us. We so appreciated the warm robes, the tea and coffee, the mini frig stocked with milk, the snacks and cups of oats for breakfast. We had already decided on our dinner spot but if not, the menus for many local places would have been so helpful. They even provided a plug with USB ports and US outlets.Added to that we got to pet a beautiful and super chill dog! It is a bit out of town on a road uphill but it is a delightful place.

Thank you very much for your review. Glad you liked the room and got to chill out after your long drive. Safe journey to your next stop.

Brilliant stay -
This was my second visit to Doreen's lovely guest house.Again, I stayed in the self contained apartment. It really is a home from home! Very comfortable and everything you have at home is here!!!I was primarily here to relax and do a bit of cycling. Having the washing machine in the apartment meant I didn't need to bring too many clothes. And I made use of the kitchen facilities too.The location is so quiet but still only 5 minutes drive from the centre of Oban or supermarkets.Doreen leaves milk, filtered water, tea and coffee and some welcoming gifts too. Very nice touches.I find my stays there very relaxing, Oban and surrounding areas have so many activities to keep me occupied and happy.Definitely coming back for a third visit!Thanks againFiona

Very warm welcome and a very pleasant stay -
The house was easy to find. The owner was very kind and we liked the place a lot. It was very clean and very comfortable. Very large bad, fridge, tea and coffee provided. Although there is no breakfast, there was instant oats and crisps provided besides tea and coffee. The house is literally 5 minutes drive from the center of Oban (or about 1.5 miles to walk).

Single traveller en route to the Isles -
Lovely hosts.Good value compared to some of Oban's prices.I was travelling to the Isles the next day by car.My room was well equipped and very comfortable for the single night that I stayed. Very quiet situation in the hills around Oban although I did jump a mile when a train passed very close by: I didn't look at the map closely enough beforehand! However, I was unaware I would be sharing a room in the main residence which included a dog: I would have liked to have known this in advance even though it was well behaved and caused me no problem.
Response
Thank you for your review. It states quite clearly on the website that we are a railway side property and also that we have a dog, which has no access to your room but just minds his own business on the front step of his home. I’m sorry you missed all this information at the time of booking, but it is all there for guests to see.

Fantastic -
Really spoilt at Burnside, it felt like going home to your own bed after being away on holiday. Very comfortable bed had a great nights sleep, spotlessly clean, nice bug ensuite plenty of room, it’s the little touches, bathrobes,shower gel shampoo and conditioner, my wife also mentioned great hairdryer. Plenty tea coffee, biscuits and even crisps and porridge pots for morning if you wish. Doreen absolutely lovely and welcoming. I give Burnside 5 ⭐️
