Breakfast was great and we watched rabbits and birds eat seeds on the patio.

There was a smell of damp in our room.

The location was perfect for our short visit to the western isles.

Great room, gorgeous location, lovely and attentive hosts (who also let you have your privacy). Would certainly stay here again.

The Old Cottage is wonderfully warm and inviting. Home from home, comfortable, relaxed and in a stunning location. Fabulous views out toward the Sound of Jura with abundant wildlife in every direction! Situated next to the Arduaine NTS gardens was a beautiful bonus! And the most comfortable bed I have EVER slept in - fabulous! I had the benefit of my own external door from my room too. Karen and Darren were wonderful hosts.

The bed is particularly comfortable and the ensuite is beautifully set out. We've stayed previously and enjoy the international guests.

The location was amazing, really beautiful place! Darren and Karen were really nice, welcoming and present to answer any questions we had. The breakfast was pretty good and the house was cosy.

I thought it was closer to Oban than it was. As it turned out, the inn’s location was so spectacular that it made us forget about returning to Oban.

The ocean view room was spectacular. The garden view room was comfortable and met our needs. We traveled with our adult son so we occupied both rooms.

No complaints.

Fantastic breakfast! Set us up for the whole day. Beautiful view from the breakfast room overlooking the loch. Darren and Karen are brilliant hosts, attentive and informative such a nice couple. Made us feel very welcome.

nothing, no complaints at all.

Hosts Darren and Karen were fantastic, nothing was too much trouble. They are very attentive to all guests. One standout thing they did was introduce everyone to each other at breakfast, not something I have seen at other guest houses, this meant that breakfast was really nice communal occasion where you didn't have to sit in an awkward silence. the location and facilities are first rate. Even down to including menu's for the surrounding pubs and restaurants, such a good idea. We WILL be staying there again in the future.

Loved everything. Exceeded expectations! Do not drive by if in the Oban area. Nicest place and best value on our 30 day trip. Be sure to book to eat dinner next door. Hosts will email instructions.

It was absolutely a lovely stay. I love where it is located -it is just 3/5 minutes walk to the rocky beach. The hosts, Darren and Karen were so welcoming and wonderful. They messaged us ahead of time to direct us to their place, suggested some dinner options near the place and made sure we book them ahead. Altogether i had an amazing stay at their property and would love to visit again. xx

Spacious accommodation. Great facilities. Loads of great guidebooks and general literature available in the guest lounge. Breakfast first rate with high quality traceable produce. Situation stunning. Hosts incredibly keen to help us have a great time.

If I'm being picky, I could say the soundproofing could between the rooms could a bit better because you can hear guests in adjacent room. Having said that, it wasn't enough to detract from my stay and I'm hoping to come back.

The room is well equipped with shower, bathroom and even a small fridge. Breakfast was wonderful and view from the dining area is stunning.
