Terrible
Such a disappointment, the room was small and old fashioned. Very little space for two people, and damp in the atmosphere. Towels never dried and had to shower and air dry as gettibg dried with a cold damp towel was no fun. Check in security was pior, anyon can just walk in and pick up keys to a room , no staff around and when you rang the numbers for contact there was no answer from all three!

Average stay
We've booked three rooms. One of them had a bad smell, the other had a broken flash (they've putted a bucket instead) in the toilet and the third had too many mosquitos and some mold in the shower. It was in a nice area in Oban close to the city center. Overall not value for money

Very disappointed @ £100 per night.
It would have been nice to be greeted, instead of a letter with our name and key inside. If we wanted breakfast it would be delivered to our bedroom and placed on the floor outside the room. There was a very small table in the room. We still have not met our hosts. The room was spotlessly clean. Unfortunately the floor mat was frayed at the edges.there was a nice big dining room which was closed. The guests in the house were all housed at the rear of the property. The rooms at the front of the house with the good views were vacant. What a shame this would have made our stay better.

Dear Kenneth I am very sorry that you were unhappy with your stay. We had to make changes due to Covid in the last couple of years. We seem to have found guests happy with the self check in. We are just a bell ring or a phone call away. If you requested breakfast we would have delivered it to your room. Sorry if you were not happy. The Sea View rooms were still not available to guests as we were still making upgrades. If they were available we would have been able to offer them to yourself. I hope this helps you understand. Kind regards Rachael

Property is located right across from the bay. Our room was nice, clean, we did not have a good view except the back. Located in easy walk too many restaurants and tour locations. Very small parking right in front of house but secure. Staff very nice.

bit of a let down
Checked in on a monday to friday short break. Abrupt at check in, and didnt see anyone for the rest of the week. Booked bed and breakfast but was told there would be no breakfast due to Covid 19 !! Also told no room cleaning or bed making, but still charged £127.50 per night. Bathroom was small and shower abysmal, hot and cold markings round the wrong way, so when you turn handle for colder water it goes hotter. Wardrobe was tiny and couldnt hang anything in it without it being folded in half. Views were nice but afraid that was the only redeeming factor. Such a pity as with some thought and updating, it could be a nice establishment.

Breakfast NOT included!
80% reason for booking was £81 with “breakfast included”, only to be told on arrival “I don’t do breakfasts”! Also told “this is reflected in the price”. We still paid £81!!! Not impressed. Could have made an effort - Briarbank, where we stayed last night, brought a limited selection breakfast to the room - at least it was something.

Not worth the price.
Overall very uncomfortable (bed and pillows were dreadful). The shower in the room was comically small, might be sufficient for an infant. "Breakfast" was included but that constituted a continental breakfast and you had to pay for anything hot. The staff were only visible during breakfast and when you check in. Overall, I would not book this again.

Our stay was wonderful due to the super clean rooms and bathrooms, generous portions and variety at breakfast, and kind owners/staff. The views were breathtaking. The beds were super comfortable. Overall, the Corriemar Guest House was charming and I would definitely recommend it to others.

The room was very tiny. It was basically no bigger than an old closet and barely had enough room for a bed. The bathroom was down the hall. The description of the bathroom was private, which supposedly it was, however, it was in a hallway across from two other rooms. You had to walk out of your room down the hall to the bathroom. WE DID NOT STAY. VERY DISAPPOINTING.

Comfort and Old World Elegance
This 121-year old house has air of dignity and charm. Our room was perfect for my husband, our teenage son and myself. Our son slept on the couch hideaway bed and we had a queen size bed with an ensuite bathroom off our room. It had a simple shower with shampoo and shower gel provided. The bath towels were a luxurious size. The views were amazing of the waters of Oban. The next morning the breakfast is served in a beautiful room with lovely place settings and of course the view is a part of your dining experience. The usual fruit, yogurt, cereal and toast are offered but hot dishes may be selected as well. You can also choose coffee or tea which are included with various fresh juices. The location is a 15 minute walk to the ferry which was perfect for us as we were going on a tour of Mull and Iona Isles.
