Just spent a lovely weekend at kilchrenan house. Owners Frances and Colin made us very welcome and nothing was too much trouble. Our room was of a very high standard with terrific sea views. Excellent breakfast which set us up for the day. Great location which was within walking distance of town centre. Having not been to Oban before,Frances and... more

I stayed for two nights, the building itself is Ok, although the decor is dated and very 'tartan'. There is a lack of information and the owners give what is aked most grudgingly. The male owner has no time for pleasanteries whatsoever, not a friendly welcome at all, despite an 8 hour drive. At breaklfast time the lady owner runs... more

An exceptional guest house where you recieve the warmest of welcomes from resident proprietors, Colin and Frances. The accomodation is beautifully furnished and immacculately serviced. A wide and varied breakfast menu is served in the comfortable dining room, overlooking Oban bay. Located on the promenade, and only a short walk from Oban town centre and harbour, we could not have... more

I find this very strange....... you joined triadviser on the 4th August and wrote the review on the same day.Sorry can,t explain the offhand or unhelpful reception staff,we do not have a receptionist , You would either have spoken to myself or my wife. It would have helped if you had contacted Kilchrenan House and asked to speak to the...

Met by the enthusiastic and very friendly owner Francis who helped make our stay as enjoyable as possible. Spotlessly clean room, excellent breakfast served by polite courteous staff. Thanks again, Stewart and Linda McArthur. more

Just back from a few wonderful days away ,staying at Kilchrenan House in Oban. Colin and Frances were the perfect hosts, helping out with resturant bookings and plenty of tips on where to go. It was a real treat to get back to our room at night, knowing that the beds were extremely comfortable and a hearty and delicious breakfast... more

We stayed five nights at Kilchrenan in July 2008 & have nothing but praise for the host & hostess Colin & Frances, who from the moment we arrived gave excellent hospitality & every consideration, we had only to ask & we received. The room was beautifully situated at the front of the house overlooking Oban Bay. The breakfast options took... more

My husband and I loved Kilchrennan House. Colin and Frances are extremely friendly and hospitable. We felt very welcome. The location is perfect. We prefer places just outside of town because they are normally quiet (this was the case) and we don't mind a short walk into town; in fact, we enjoy it. The building is very attractive, and the... more

We had room 4- super views. You can sit in bed and watch the water, ships coming in and leaving the harbour. Colin, Frances and Buster the dog will give you a warm welcome and lots of tips about what to do. We know Oban well but still learnt new things from Colin- like Seafood Temple which we did not... more

We stayed in the family room with our two young children, and we were made to feel at home right away by our wonderful hosts Colin and Frances. The family room was spacious and more than met our needs for our weekend stay. We had a wonderful view from our room looking over to the Isle of Mull. What a... more
