    Much better than expected with a lovely outlook from the room we were allocated. Spotlessly clean and well equipped. Breakfast tray was a nice surprise and much appreciated. Host was really friendly and helpful with restaurant suggestions. Would highly recommend if staying in Oban.

    perfect in every way. it is more like a cozy apartment. the owner lives on the upper level, and was most kind and helpful. has parking on my premises. a short drive to free parking and then a short walk takes you to the waterfront center of town.

    It was on a tiny curvy street, and I passed it by on the first try. But finally made it into my own parking spot.

    The layout of the apartment was so clever. I loved the bathroom.

    A lovely place with incredibly good facilities. Everything was there for a self catering long stay. We stayed only for one night as part of a longer journey, but I would consider it to be great place to stay as a base for visits to the many attractions in the area.

    We misunderstood the description of the facilities, which includes the word "kitchen". We had food with us that we thought we would be able to cook but the room only had a small fridge and a kettle - no microwave or anything. This was just a misunderstanding but the description could be clearer. The only other issue was the steeply sloping ceiling where I continually banged my head when standing close to the wall.

    Very pleasant room with a big comfortable bed. Very nice owner and a beautiful, quiet, convenient location.

    Very lovely host. Before my stay I asked for advice on nice restaurants to celebrate my birthday and Doreen has been very responsive and gave me great advice. Once at Burnside I have been very touched to find a birthday card and a bottle of wine waiting for me. Attention to details is very clear and I couldn't recommend more this place.

    There is a train line adjacent to the property but it didn’t bother us at all

    The suite is very well equipped with everything you’d need! I particularly loved the little touches, including cosy personalised robes. I also love the complimentary natural toiletries

    Excellent location, quite and rural, on the 78 cycle route. Trainline passes close by but trains are not so frequent that they impact the peace. Pleasant 20 minute walk into Oban and a £6 taxi ride back! Glencruitten Woods are nearby for a leafy walk. Property is extremely well equipped and spotlessly clean. I really can't think of anything to fault.

    Friendly owners, spotlessly clean, very comfortable bed, good shower and lots of little wee touches you just don't get in many places and it shows the owners care and are really proud of their home. I don't think I've stayed in a better guest house

    From the initial welcome to us leaving, the hosts Doreen and David could have not been more helpful. Burnside is situated in beautiful countryside and sat-nav will take you the slower, scenic route. The super king-size room is so well equipped for your trip, snacks and breakfast items, fridge (complementary milk and drinking water), WiFi, Netflix etc. There were lovely little touches in the bathroom that highlight the attention to detail the owners have gone to. The bed was super comfortable and the location is just a 20 minute country walk to the centre of Oban. We would recommend the ferry to Mull but book well beforehand if you want to take your car. Foot passengers are fine and we did that. Iona is a must and such a beautiful, quiet Island. I will recommend Burnside to family and friends - thank you for a lovely stay.

    Everything ! Room was lovely decorated with some really nice thoughtful touches . I was having to use crutches at my time of stay and found the room so comfortable to move around in and what a comfy bed to relax on 😍 so we definitely will be back soon to explore the area once I'm more mobile again. Doreen is lovely and welcoming and Bailey is one handsome pooch !!
