Trash and Mike are the perfect hosts and we were lucky to find them. We were in the Oban area to visit the Isles of Mull, Iona & Staffa so a comfortable base was essential. The house was very comfortable with great views, and the breakfast menu was to die for. Mike's jams seem to be legendary, and Trish's welcoming... More

A great spot in Oban & close to all main attraction but quiet location to boot! Very clean & professionally run. All mod cons are there& front rooms have gorgeous views! Trish is very knowledgeable on Oban & very helpful. Excellent breakfasts at good hours. All in all a delightful stay for 2 nights

Failte is a beautifully restored home in Oban, Scotland. Trish and her husband are the perfect hosts. Trish has the most bubbly personality and really makes you feel at home. Mike cooks the best breakfast and you must try his jams - my favorite the rhubarb and ginger. Our room was a good size and the ensuite very large, both... More

We stayed at Failte just one night on our way to the north. The building seems to be an old school victorian house and there are only 3 rooms for guests. Our room had a spectacular view over the bay. Town centre us a 5min walk down the hill. Only negative point, the bathroom were a bit small. Owners are... More

Failte had been recommended to us by friends before we left home and we were not disappointed. Our room was very clean and we had an amazing view out over the bay. My husband celebrated a special birthday while we were there and we had a memorable day, taking a trip to Mull and Iona followed by dinner at The... More

Stayed for one night on a trip to Mull. Great location just 5 minutes walk from the town centre. Friendly welcome, clean accommodation, huge breakfast. Just how a B&B should be

My original plan had been to book a room in a backpackers hostel but I checked the Failte on a recommendation and found they were actually cheaper! Very friendly and hospitable without being overbearing and easy walking distance to the bay (if you don't mind a bit of a climb up the hill on the way back)
