Reviews of Glenroy Guest House

The check in went very smoothly and the owners communicated with us very well. Our key was waiting for us upon arrival. The house and our room was immaculate.

We were in a room named Coll. It was at the very top of the house in a converted attic. We were carrying fairly heavy luggage up a normal staircase then a narrow winding staircase which was more difficult to navigate. The slopping roofs in the room were very low in places and both myself and husband banged our heads several times. If you look closely, there are marks along the wall where others have probably done the same. My husband could not comfortably sit up in bed due to the slope and using the bathroom was difficult for him if standing up!!! We are of average height but anyone over 4ft would find it very uncomfortable. It may be a good room for children but we both struggled to be comfortable there. The house is on a steep slope which we managed to walk up and down but it wouldn’t be suitable for anyone with mobility issues.

Clean, easy entry, quiet parking. Good quality refreshments and hot chocolate. Nice toiletries.

The room was under the stairs , which i thought cute but had a special bed to fit in. Which was very high. Was very narrow. Nowhere to put bags or side table /shelf to put my glasses. Could hear other rooms tvs.

Clean, modern furnishings with a nice shared lounge with sofa table and chairs. Very nicely furnished and clean.

Everything was as expected, such as self check in but it was a little strange having no one to greet you. It wasn’t really a problem though. Just unusual.

Nice decor

Location. Hard to find

Convenient to the port. Good quality toiletries and drinks.

Parking was difficult. Bed and in particular the pillows were very uncomfortable. Bedside light not working.

Great location with easy walk into town, to ferries and to trainstation. Clean and nice sized room with comfortable bed/pillows, tray with coffee/tea/biscuits and two water bottles provided. Sitting room with travel books and other reading material on location.

One of our rooms was located under the roof with slanted ceilings and a very tiny bathroom located in a closet. The shower was very small with low waterpressure and inconsistent water temperature. Written instructions on how to turn on the shower would have been appreciated, especially since there was not staff on location. We made it work, but it would be helpful if the room description on the homepage would list the small shower, slanted ceilings and the small, narrow stairs up to the room. Any person with mobility issues and /or larger luggage would find this room challenging.

Absolutely perfect location just a small walk down to the centre of Oban. No issues with parking and the cookies, tea and coffee were a great surprise.

N/A

I didn’t have a cup to drink my tea from, had to use the glass, not handy in case it smashed

Great location, clean and comfortable.

The shower didn’t drain properly. Otherwise everything was good.

Well appointed and lovely collection of books

The bed was boxed in so not really long enough for a tall person.

The fan provided in the room was very helpful since the evening as hot. Access to the building was smooth and parking was a bonus.

No hair conditioner. It’s hard to pack items like this when you’re traveling by air and providing a small bottle in the room would have been greatly appreciated.

Easy check in and lovely accommodation. Little luxuries included!

We were so impressed with the staff and the care that was shown in making our, too short, stay so memorable. Excellent. Thank you.

Great location, a wee walk up a hill but worth it for the views. Very comfortable bed and nice decor. Friendly staff, we really enjoyed our stay

Nothing

Very clean - adequate for 1 night

As room was in attic space, room & ceiling height was lacking and access up 2 flights of narrow stairs a bit tricky.

This is a beautiful well appointed Victorian guest house in a nice location overlooking Oban. Only a 5 minute walk from the town centre and all its amenities. The guest house was lovely. The room was clean with ensuite facilities, and the bed comfortable. Tea, coffee and a fantastic hot chocolate supplied with the kettle in the room. I had a quiet and a good night's sleep.

I booked a single room and stayed in the room called Ulva which like others is named after a Scottish west coast island. Now I've stayed in many a single room of varying sizes over the years but this was easily the smallest! Given the size of the guest house and its generous proportions, this has the feel of a single bed and ensuite being shoehorned into a large cupboard. It was like sleeping in a cabin bed with the wall at the base, down one side and at the head of the bed. Theres just enough room to pass along the room down the open side of the bed. The ensuite beyond the wall at the head of the bead was equally cramped. You can sit on he toilet with your knees under the wash basin with your toes against the shower cubicle. The shower could do with a bit of attention. In particular the shower head on the riser was a bit flaccid and kept drooping despite attempts to tighten it. The shampoo and shower gel were good but the dispenser was attached to the wall above head height making it difficult to use. However the most annoying thing was the extractor fan. The slightest flick of the bathroom light switch will leave this running into the next millennium and if like me you have a calling in the night, then go in the dark so you have a reasonable chance of getting back to sleep afterwards! While this room was clean, comfortable and quiet, this space or lack of was more akin to caravan living! Fine for a one night stop over but any longer, forget it and get a bigger room.
