30th Anniversary trip to Scotland

The bed and breakfast was delightful. We had a fourth floor room with amazing views of the harbor. The place was decorated well and was very welcoming. They provided separate shampoo, conditioner and body wash unlike the other places in Scotland where we stayed. The gal that was working was so nice and helpful. Our room was quite spacious and decorated nicely. The bathroom was huge with a large shower and a large soaking tub. Bed was comfortable and roomy not just a double. It was close enough to everthing that we were able to walk to dinner, drinks and to explore the town.I would highly recommend Alltavona for a stay in Oban.

We had a lovely stay at Alltavona! We loved our sea view room and enjoyed sitting in the chairs with the window open, getting a fresh breeze and watching the boats sailing by. The ladies who helped us were very sweet.

On arrival we were struggling with the key box and the (presumed) owner came out to help us. His demeanour was neutral at best, although he was quite friendly during the rest of the stay. When we saw the room we were really disappointed at the size and the facilities (coffee maker squeezed into a dark corner behind the coat hangers, broken showerhead). Going by the photos and because we had paid for an upgraded room, we had expected two armchairs. When we rang the bell to complain no-one appeared and when we phoned there was no answer to the two messages we left. The following day, on our return the lady of the house asked if the 'room was OK now'. Strange behaviour. The breakfast was outstanding and well worth the extra £10 each.

Cute place right next to the water

The place is right next to the water - unobstructed view. The 0.7 mile walk to center of Oban was nice in good weather but we got wet several time (expected this for October). Public transportation was hard to find so needed our car. Our room was a little small and cramped, but we could see other larger rooms. Check in and parking was a bit of a hassle. Great “Continental breakfast “ that included meats, cheeses, baked goods and more- well worth the modest cost
