We appreciated the deep silence of this stone, multi-floor structure that faces the harbor on a main thoroughfare. We recognized its two white gables as we exited the Isle of Mull ferry at 9:00 PM. Our key was waiting for us in a lockbox for late arrivals. The morning buffet (£10/person) was remarkably tasty and generous.

If you are lucky enough to stay with Carol and all the lovely folks at the Alltavona Guest House, it will live in your memory like a beautiful dream. My room was so gorgeously decorated, I thought I was in an Agatha Christie novel (minus the murder, of course) where a lucky woman stays by the seaside in an Art Deco fantasy (greys, whites, metallics, nature, art, impeccable taste and style) and looks out at Oban Bay and never wishes to leave. The staff were so helpful when I asked for local recommendations (the nearby Dunollie castle is a 5-min. walk). The guest house is an easy 15-min. walk into town, along the water, a picturesque little beach, shops, and restaurants. You can sit outside the guest house on comfy cushions with your feet up and gaze at the water and the distant mountains and ponder your luck at being there. Don't even think about this decision - just go.

Fantastic!
Beautiful guest house. The rooms are spacious, clean, comfy and stylish. Lots of tea and coffee options in the room; mine had a Nespresso machine in it this time. Staff are always so pleasant when they welcome you. This is my second time staying and I’ll definitely be back next time I’m in Oban. The only negative is parking. While I’ve never had a problem, just be aware that spaces are limited and you may have to park across the road. There’s also the potential to get boxed in which isn’t ideal.

We enjoyed the view from our room over looking the bay with its sailboats and ferries. Alltavona was very comfortable and our hosts were wonderful. The breakfast was fresh and delicious. Alltavona’s location made it an easy walk into Oban or hiking along the waterfront. An incredible place to stay!

Very good property expensive during peak season
Used a reward night and booked a double king room which for the price £130 (had £95 reward), however I received a twin room. The hotel guest house was at a high standard and I slept a solid 10 hours on the single bed due to exhaustion and it was very comfortable. However if I had other plans then this would,have been very disappointing.

The rooms are all unique and so fun! Service, especially at breakfast, was amazing! We had a little communication hiccup at check-in but that had to do with my booking through expedia (i.e. I got all the messages at once and later than sent) but they were very responsive and helped us get checked-in and caught up immediately upon arrival!

Very good location directly by the sea
The accomodation was superb, clean room with a small fridge. The interior was excellent. 2 disappointing aspects: No hosts were there at the arrival. For payment we had to write our details of the credit card on a sheet of paper, including the security code!!! Uncredible!

The staff was very friendly, helpful, responsive, good communication. The location walkable from the train station—not super-close but close enough. A very nice breakfast was served for $10 with a beautiful view of the sea. Not so good was more or less clean room —the bathtub could use a scrub, pillowcases, too. One bed was covered in plaster dust, fortunately; I needed just one bed. The bathtub was claw foot with no plug for a bath and no showers curtain thus water cleanup on the floor necessary. The tub was hard for me to get in and out of. (I also found the room decor chaotic—sequin bedcovers making it not a comfy place to sit, and more. I can imagine someone else may like it.) So not the end of the world but because I’m older I’m not sure I’d stay there again.

I had a wonderful stay. The property and my room were beautiful. I was greeted after a long day of driving with a pot of tea and a warm welcome. The views are fabulous and there is a nice place to walk across the street along the water and to restaurants , pubs, the ferry, etc. I had a special circumstance that came up and could not have been accommodated any better than I was by Megan. What a gem.

Location is off the highest-traffic streets in Portree, so it's quiet yet both walkable and easy to get to by car. Our room (in the back in a newer addition) was modern, had all the mod cons, and was light, but because it was in the back there were no views (price probably reflects this :). Would absolutely stay there again.

Hope to return
My husband and I stayed for 3 nights earlier this month, and it was delightful! The room was immaculate, and the view of the water was lovely. We appreciated the hot water pot for coffee/tea (provided in the room), as well as the mini fridge. The soaking tub was amazing, and the bed was comfortable. Breakfast was delightful, essentially breakfast charcuterie! Cheeses, cold meats, breads, variety of fresh fruit, yogurt, cereals, juices, hot beverages, and hard boiled eggs. Ample amount of food for the cost of breakfast, especially since you'd have to walk to town to get breakfast elsewhere. However, the walkability of this guest house was great to restaurants and shops, while being quiet as well. The manager was great at checking if there was anything she could do to make our stay more pleasant. We hope to return to Oban and stay again! Only a few possible minor downsides, in case it's helpful to know: 1. It can be hard to make the temperature in the room colder if you like it on the cool side at night, for example, if you're an American used to having air conditioning in a hotel room, which this doesn't have. 2. There is a fee for breakfast; however, it's worth it! 3. If you have trouble with stairs and luggage, it could be hard if you can't stay on the first floor.
