    Brilliant one-night stay for your Highlands road trip

    Nothing to highlight, I think this experience has exceeded our expectations

    Our stay with Doreen, David and their lovely Siberian husky Billy was amazing :) The hosts were friendly and showed outstanding hospitality. The place was easy to find and had spacious parking to offload our suitcases. This is the top-notch choice for a one-night stay on your road trip. I assume it might be a bit difficult for longer stays as our room was small, but that was not a problem for us.

    Very well presented self catering flat. Had everything you need, liked having the airfryer to use. Appreciated the milk and the breakfast box along with a Wee Dram. Would definitely stay again.

    Nothing we didn't like

    This is beautifully set up accommodation, really nicely decorated. We were in the front room which was a good size with additional living area and bathroom. The bed was a really comfortable king bed. Doreen was the ultimate hostess, and nothing was an issue. You are provided with all you need for a continental breakfast and there is a small fridge. It's not walking distance into Oban but we enjoyed the fresh air and quiet. We would definitely stay at Burnside again.

    Just needs signage on the doorbell, as when Doreen answered the intercom, we assumed she was inside the house, but was actually out walking the dog, & the connection kept breaking up & we were waiting a while for her to look up the booking, so we could get inside.

    Very comfortable, beautiful toiletries, bath robe . Bed so comfortable. Lovely quiet area, although there is a railway line behind property, but not many trains going through, & I had earplugs, didn't bother me. Had Netflix connection. Doreen offered for us to sit outside in the sun. Lovely that we had porridge & fresh milk to have for breakfast, a nice touch.

    The room was very clean and the facilities were good. It was nice to have fresh milk in the fridge and the toiletries were of a high standard. It was about a twenty minute walk into the town but we enjoyed walking through the golf course.

    Breakfast was not included but there was no cutlery or crockery for our own DIY breakfast: bowls and spoons would have been appreciated.

    Very convenient for Oban ferry, nice position out of town, welcoming and responsive host, clean and well organised.

    The only issue that we had was the actual address. I understand that owners do not want to reveal actual address until arrival is imminent, but it was difficult to tell our driver where it was located. Also, taxi driver just guessed at location and fortunately was correct.

    Lovely, quiet setting. Nicely furnished rooms. Bonus of fresh milk, instant hot cereal, and a very sweet resident dog. We would stay there again.

    Great place to stay in Oban

    The parking area out the front is small. If there are other guests, it can be tricky to park without blocking other cars. Especially if you have a big vehicle.

    This guesthouse is located just outside the town of Oban. Less then 10 mins drive. The guesthouse is on a quiet road. Perfect for light sleepers like me. My room was a converted attic, I'm 5ft 10 and I tought the headroom was fine. There was a little fridge with a bottle of water and fresh milk. There was also tea, coffe, sugar, crisps, porridge. The fresh milk was a lovely touch. So many places give you UHT milk which I think is rubbish. This small thing was an example of the care and consideration that the hosts have taken with their accommodation. The bed was large, firm and comfortable. The TV had an Amazon FireStick which was used to access free to air apps to watch UK TV. But it also had Amazon Prime. Which meant I could watch my favourite shows. Again a lovely extra. The bathroom was spacious and the shower was good. There was even a bathrobe to wear after. The WIFI was fast and reliable. The whole place was spotlessly clean. The host met me on arrival, along with her beautiful husky. She was very welcoming and helpful.

    Couldn’t find anything we didn’t like! Just perfect

    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!
