A slight downside is no breakfast - with that in mind this could be slightly better value for money and a slightly later check out to enable you to get breakfast then check out. That said, we have now stayed there twice as we know what we are getting!

If you are looking for accommodation in Oban then I would definitely recommend Kenvara House. This is a short walk up the hill, has parking available, a straightforward self check-in, and comfortable, clean rooms. .

Beautiful house with great sized rooms. Definitely recommend checking this place out if you want a good sleep!

We stayed for one night as last minute extended stay in Oban, the room was beautiful, spacious and small touches by the owners that never went unnoticed. The decking has great views of oban and the property was very well maintained, very friendly staff. Would highly recommend and hopefully be back next visit. Well done and thank you to the owners for making it a lovely experience.

The Inn was a short uphill walk from the train. We had a second floor room overlooking Oban and the bay. Pretty spectacular!

10am checkout was tight as we had to go into town for breakfast. We managed fine though. Otherwise everything was perfect.

Loved the location, 5 min walk to town centre. Facilities and views were amazing.

Lovely 'room with a view' and so close to the town centre. Luxurious decor, a bottle of wine and a decanter of whiskey!

Nothing major, only the bed was not that comfy.

The location was nice, the view was amazing, the room was wide and clean, and it was great welcoming. Overall, all was perfect.

Not a thing. Everything was perfect.

I honestly can’t rate this place highly enough. We had 3 rooms for my dad’s 70th and all were absolutely perfect. Spotless clean and stunningly designed. The views the central location. Just wow. Wine and whisky in the rooms were a lovely touch. Hosts were very friendly and helpful. Will definitely be back. Thanks. Sharon

Winding our way up the hill, passing the beautiful properties surrounding it, we were not disappointed when we reached Kenavara. It is a traditional house from the outside with a small on-site parking area to the front of the property. Stepping inside was delightful, a well-decorated hallway and it smelt lovely! Check-in is a modern affair as there's no reception as such, but it was all very easy to do. Then up the stairs, through the door to our room - and WOW! A huge room, beautifully and very stylishly decorated, with the most spectacular views overlooking Oban, the sea and Mull beyond - absolutely breath-taking. As we sat on the beautiful blue velvet Chesterfield sofa, gazing out over the view and watching the Calmac ferries and sailing boats sweeping quietly and majestically by in the bay, we enjoyed a wee dram from the complimentary drinks trolley - with water and a bottle of wine also provided in the fridge, which was very unexpected but a most thoughtful and welcome gesture! The bathroom was again exceptionally stylish and had everything we needed. And all absolutely spotlessly clean. It is a room-only establishment, but it is only a few, pleasant minutes to walk to the centre of town where there are plenty of choices of restaurants to be had. We would stay here again in a heartbeat and thoroughly recommend Kenavara to you.

It was odd having a contactless check-in, not sure if I like that, although it was perfectly smooth.

Good sized room, very comfortable bed. Good communication from the owners.

Nothing comes to mind.

No breakfast; great location; we did a lot of easy (but hilly) walking.

Perhaps the option of breakfast in house, as it was a little difficult to find somewhere that was in easy walking distance from the house that wasn't fully booked.

Nothing. It was all very good.

Very clean. Great location. Parking.

There really wasn't anything not to like, but if I had to pick something to warn guests about, it would be the beautiful blue velvet sofa. Although it was an excellent choice visually for the room, it has metal legs that flare out at the bottom (beyond the edges of the sofa itself) and we both stubbed our bare toes on them. Ouch (though I'm smiling as I type this).

The room (Room 3) was very nice but the views out the window were absolutely stunning. Also, the mattress and pillows are excellent (although our stay was directly after several nights in a camper van, although I'm sure that wasn't the main reason I thought that). The host also provided a stocked refrigerator with water and wine, in addition to complimentary whiskey in a beautiful decanter.

Self service check-in, it felt more like Air BnB rather than a Guest House, it's always nice to meet the owners!

Clean, comfortable, quiet, great location. Great communication from owner.

a great location above the town with a fantastic view from the window. Very clean and comfortable and the whiskey awaiting on arrival was a lovely welcome touch.

We thought it a little strange that there was no one in evidence to greet us on arrival.

We had a sensational view over Oban and beyond from our room. We also thought the complimentary scotch in the room on arrival was a nice touch.
