Blair Villa South

It was a beautiful house and the hosts had made a lot of effort to ensure that the guests had a good experience. The view was exceptional.

Although all these are out of the control of the hosts, it is useful to know: The property is a short distance but an exceptionally steep climb from the town. Driving is also up very steep hills (all of Oban is like this.) Parking is on-street. This was not a problem as there was plenty of space but you need to be able to trust your handbrake and be confident with hill-starts. There are steps up to the property.

It was a characterful, comfortable, clean and quiet property ideally located for visiting Oban. The town was accessible by walking in just a few minutes.

Nothing really

Loved the antique flavour of the house and the welcoming host. The bed was comfortable, the en suite bathroom ample in size and facilities. We enjoyed the view over the town and harbour from the lounge too.

Our hosts were very friendly, location wonderful, lovely house finished/decorated in an outstanding way/attention to detail. Very clean. Loved the makeup remover cloth.

Three things matter to me in particular - in no order 1. The bathroom 2. The bed/mattress for a good night's sleep 3. The breakfast The bathroom was lovely. But what really spoilt our stay was a very uncomfortable mattress (hardly slept) abd whilst we knew items would be left in the fridge for breakfast, what was left was disappointing (and there was no jam or something savoury to go with the croissant. It was a few things from the supermarket none of which we had for breakfast and half of which we left. We expected a bit more care around breakfast eg use local bakery, provide eg some cheese or jam/marmalade and a choice of fruit and possibly cereal in room. For us, very disappointing. We had breakfast in Oban. We appreciate what was on offer might suit other people.
