We loved staying here. Lovely hosts, so quaint, and gorgeous interiors with good amenities. Delighted to have a fridge, and to have the fridge filled with snacks. Parking is a challenge as the property is on a steep hill, and it's quite a steep walk to get to and from restaurants for anyone who might have limitations. It was the nicest place we stayed in whilst in Scotland.

The building was not easy to find due to the small streets on a rising hill in a congested area. Well worth the effort.

Everything was as described! No false expectations here! This place is all about the Location-Location-Location! Park and drop off your bags and walk Oban! Easy key fob entry. Bathroom updates were excellent. USB connections by both nightstands. Bag of breakfast was soooooooo thoughtful and served as our picnic on the go, driving up to Glencoe. I totally understand why this place is given 10 Stars despite the steep stairs. It's a gem, book it!

Absolutely lovely place to stay!

Absolutely lovely place to stay. My husband and I stayed for just 2 nights before tying the knot in Appin. We arrived early and didn’t expect to be able to check in until the booked time, but they went out of their way to accommodate us early. The room was very nice and clean, and the whole property was gorgeous, beautifully decorated and has amazing character - also with a fantastic view! They also supplied our room with tea, coffee and a mini fridge pre-stocked with some breakfast/snacks! The property is quite close to everything, we were able to walk everywhere we needed to go in Oban from the property! We couldn’t have picked a better place to stay!

Staying in Oban is challenging - the location of Blair Villa is a benefit and a liability, depending on how you see it - located on the highest road atop the town, it doesn't have any noise or neighbor issues, but you might not want to climb the hill after a evening's merriment. The room was comfortable but small, with breakfast offered in a takeaway bag rather than a buffet, and everything seemed well kept although we didn't get to chat with the owner much.

Quiet little place on top of a hill overlooking Oban. Room was very clean and stylish. Sack breakfast was adequate and good for early morning travel.
