Peaceful - Rating 5/5

Thank you Doreen and Paul for a lovely two nights in Oban. A warm welcome, help navigating the driveway and all the little extra touches like chocolates under the pillow, a bathrobe, and snacks made my stay really enjoyable. Highly recommend :)

Perfect place to stay - Rating 5/5

Everything, from the room to the bed it was perfect! The room is nice and cozy and perfect when you travel together! The bed is so comfy, we had the best night sleep since a long time! Ready to continue the roadtrip! All the little touches make it so great, from crisps and oats for the morning and water and milk in the fridge. Also private parking on the property! The host was lovely as well! We will definitely come back here!

Response

Thank you so much! Really pleased you had a great stay. It was lovely to meet you both. You are welcome back anytime.

Five Star, felt like home, shall we go on!- Rating 5/5

Meeting Doreen and Bailey 🐾 we could tell instantly Doreen had put a lot of effort into welcoming guests into her home as it felt as such. Doreen was so helpful in every way and after a four night stay we didn’t want to leave! Apologies for my snoring! 😂

Response

Thank you so much. It was lovely to meet you both and an absolute pleasure to have you staying here and you are welcome back anytime. What snoring??? 😊

Lovely!- Rating 5/5

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.

Response

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 - Rating 5/5

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

Response

Thank you so much. It was lovely to see you again, and look forward to your next visit. Hopefully better weather for you.

Very warm welcome and a very pleasant stay - Rating 5/5

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).

Response

Thank you! It was a pleasure to meet you both.
