A 5-minute walk from Oban town centre, this room-only guest house offers free Wi-Fi, a leafy garden and free parking. The house has uninterrupted views over Oban Bay.

The individual rooms at Invercloy Guest House each have a TV, DVD player and tea and coffee facilities. Some rooms have private bathrooms and scenic views, and all feature goose-feather duvets, plump pillows and crisp white cotton bed linen.

The view was phenomenal and it is situated in a quiet area that is still a walking distance from centre of town. There were plenty of simple touches that I didnt expect- the use of local and high quality toiletries, fluffy bathrobes, wine glass, even a very good ground coffee to brew to wake us up in the morning. Definitely would try to go back.

    Graeme and Dan were absolutely exceptional hosts and altogether lovely people, they made an already wonderful stay even better. The house itself is stunning; beautifully decorated and spotlessly clean. The location is second to none, with gorgeous view across to Kerrera. Cannot recommend a stay at Glenburnie highly enough, we will definitely be back.

    Very nice boutique hotel situated close to the centre of Oban. It was obvious that time and attention had been paid to the design and the rooms were very clean and the decor was excellent. The on-suite bathroom was excellent. Staff were very helpful and very friendly and the breakfast was really very good. I would have no hesitation in staying there again.
