Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Stayed in the double en-suite with sea view. The room was spotless and very comfortable. Tea, coffee and snacks are available from the self service kitchen (honesty box on site). The hotel is located above a pub which can be noisy until 2am. that being said we didn't feel disturbed. would definitely return.

Great Guest House

Convenient location, the room was very clean and had everything we needed. Loved the honesty box self service breakfast system in the guest kitchen, again it was spotless. We ate at the attached pub and enjoyed some fantastic live music. Food was great and hotel guests get a 10% discount. Cannot fault it!

Fabulous location and self catering facility.

Very comfortable room, with lovely sea view. Easy parking, adjacent to the hotel (£1 per hour between between 9am and 6pm). Short stroll around the bay to Oban ferry port. Excellently equipped guest kitchen / diner, with fantastic bay views.

I loved the ‘old-world’ atmosphere and the attitude of trust placed in the guests. Our room was so quiet and peaceful. We dined in Markie Dans in the evening and I loved the friendliness, the food, and the toe-tapping Scottish music played by a young accordion player. I would highly recommend Corran House for your stay in Oban!

Great location for a short stay

Stayed here on either side of our trip due to early/late ferries. The Corran Guest House is in such a convenient location with a great pub attached which did really nice food and had a great atmosphere. The rooms itself were clean, super comfortable and quiet. Would happily stay here again.

Stayed in a room 7 for 2 nights. Matress on a bed needs changing, due to a masive dent in a middle. Kitchen in a hotel has everything needed for a stay. Car park is next to a hotel, £1 per hour, free after 6 p.m. Location is good.
