This is a wonderful place to stay, where attention is given to making you feel at home. We had room 4 which has a wonderful view of the bay. We used to sit in the bay window on an evening and watch the ferries go to and fro as the sun went down. The shower room is small but with... More

Stayed just for one night at Dunheanish prior to catching island ferry the next day. Everything about this guest house is great - location, service, environment, breakfast, value and hosts. Do yourself a favour and stay here when in Oban - you won't regret it.

Stayed for one night on the 12 May in room 1. What a fantastic view!! Brilliant facilities and an extremely comfortable bed four poster. Extremely well presented and good décor. Despite being close to the front door and opposite the dining room entrance we heard no noise at all. William was very friendly and helpful and the breakfast maintained the... More

You must put staying at this guesthouse on your "bucket list" of things to do. William and Linda have spent the last 6 years perfecting this absolutely incredible Victorian guesthouse for travelers. William greeted us and took us to our room (5) . As previously reviewers have said, the view of Oban harbor and the islands to the west is... More

William and Linda were very gracious and welcoming hosts. Our room upstairs was absolutely fabulous - it was large and a gorgeous view over the town and and the harbour. Nothing was too much trouble for William - whether it was helping me to see a doctor or providing whisky glasses. Breakfast were delicious. As a previous reviewer said -... More

We were given the downstairs front room overlooking the town and Harbour, a fabulous view to wake up to every morning. It was a short walk down into the town centre and close to Oban Distillery, but a bit of a climb to get back home again. This was not a problem for us but something to keep in mind... More

Another warm welcome from William & Linda, nothing is too much trouble for them. Room 4 is definitely the best and is huge with table and chairs in the bay window with a stunning view over to Mull. The breakfasts are amazingly good and very leisurely. Definitely the best place to stay in Obab
