    Pleasant owner, Paula, quiet, snacks, basic breakfast items left in fridge for guests. Paula helped take suitcase downstairs. Let me sit in dining room a few hours after checkout before bus trip. Local buses near guest house

    Stairs, no one to help with luggage at check in no staff in premises. Uncomfortable uneven mattress, no breakfast served.

    Great room, plenty of space, lots of light from windows. The bathroom was well layed out and had plenty of space. The two lounge chairs were comfortable and the sherry was a nice touch.

    I loved how it was off the beaten patth of the city, yet close to the restaurants and shops in walking distance so we did not have to drive and find parking

    Due to mix up in bookings, we had to move rooms

    My son and I loved everything! It was comfortable, quiet, beautiful view, spacious and welcoming. Iona was so helpful and welcoming.

    It would be ideal if they served breakfast, since they have the facilites, but it didn't affect how wonderful this place was to stay at.

    The room was OK, spacious and as shown with bay view.

    The shower stream was extremely weak (Rain shower head). It took a long time for the hot water to arrive, and they were finished at the middle of the evening shower. My husband didn't have hot water in the morning at al!! Very disappointing and frustrating. We weren't the only room complaining. That day was very cold and rainy and I got sick. The coffee powder was probably so old, there were chunks that couldn't be dissolved, and it was undrinkable.

    Property response:

    Hi Rachel, Thank you so much for your scores and review. It means so much to our small family run business. I can only apologise for the shower situation and can assure you that it was fixed as soon as we heard about the situation. Some things are out of our hands. I can’t understand why your coffee was chunky as we go through a lot of coffee and it’s rarely in our store for more than a week. Am so sorry to hear you won’t be back Iona

    Even though you had to go out for breakfast, there were lots of places to eat out. The food was amazing,with only a short walk away. Beautiful views you can sit outside and enjoy watching all the different boats go by.,would definitely come back .

    Everything was perfect.

    Our stay at Mackays was exceptional. The room was spacious with a big, comfortable bed and lovely reclining chairs but the real star was the incredible view we had over Oban bay :) - it was stunning and a highlight of our holiday here! Breakfast isn't served but was substituted by porridge, yoghurt and cereal bars in the room which was absolutely fine and meant we didn't have to rush out looking for breakfast. We used several of the restaurants recommended by Mackays and all were lovely - particularly Ee-Usk. The location is excellent as we were able to walk to Oban distillery, the restaurants and the harbour for boat trips - and Ganavan Sands was beautiful, a short drive away. It was hard to leave, so we had a final coffee on the terrace before letting go! Thank you - will definitely be recommending xx

    All good!

    The hotel had a spacious room with a stunner view through a bay window, a good bed and all you needed.

    It may feel a little weird to some never te meet a real person, but for us it was no issue.

    We had a huge ground floor room with a nice view and binoculars to watch all the activity on the water. While breakfast wasn't served, our fridge was stocked daily with yoghurt, juice and snacks. Fruit and some other treats were available in the hallway. There was sherry in the room to enjoy in the evening and chairs outside to enjoy the breakfast snacks and an evening drink, with a view. The address is beyond the town centre, which means less noise and traffic.

    Everything was just fine.
