My family booked two rooms at Alltavona Guest House in Oban for a one night stay. The rooms were lovely, with fun details and decorative accents, as was the entire guest house. The Alltavona is nicely located; just a quick walk from the center of town.

We appreciated the deep silence of this stone, multi-floor structure that faces the harbor on a main thoroughfare. We recognized its two white gables as we exited the Isle of Mull ferry at 9:00 PM. Our key was waiting for us in a lockbox for late arrivals. The morning buffet (£10/person) was remarkably tasty and generous.

If you are lucky enough to stay with Carol and all the lovely folks at the Alltavona Guest House, it will live in your memory like a beautiful dream. My room was so gorgeously decorated, I thought I was in an Agatha Christie novel (minus the murder, of course) where a lucky woman stays by the seaside in an Art Deco fantasy (greys, whites, metallics, nature, art, impeccable taste and style) and looks out at Oban Bay and never wishes to leave. The staff were so helpful when I asked for local recommendations (the nearby Dunollie castle is a 5-min. walk). The guest house is an easy 15-min. walk into town, along the water, a picturesque little beach, shops, and restaurants. You can sit outside the guest house on comfy cushions with your feet up and gaze at the water and the distant mountains and ponder your luck at being there. Don't even think about this decision - just go.

One night stop over - staff were friendly and helpful. Hotel has lots of character with main areas and rooms. Rooms and bathroom were a great size and with everything you need in. View out on to the harbour and little area outside were really lovely. Lovely walk down the promenade to the centre

Fantastic!
Beautiful guest house. The rooms are spacious, clean, comfy and stylish. Lots of tea and coffee options in the room; mine had a Nespresso machine in it this time. Staff are always so pleasant when they welcome you. This is my second time staying and I’ll definitely be back next time I’m in Oban. The only negative is parking. While I’ve never had a problem, just be aware that spaces are limited and you may have to park across the road. There’s also the potential to get boxed in which isn’t ideal.

We enjoyed the view from our room over looking the bay with its sailboats and ferries. Alltavona was very comfortable and our hosts were wonderful. The breakfast was fresh and delicious. Alltavona’s location made it an easy walk into Oban or hiking along the waterfront. An incredible place to stay!

Very good property expensive during peak season
Used a reward night and booked a double king room which for the price £130 (had £95 reward), however I received a twin room. The hotel guest house was at a high standard and I slept a solid 10 hours on the single bed due to exhaustion and it was very comfortable. However if I had other plans then this would,have been very disappointing.
