Great style, friendly staff and clean, comfortable room.

Beautiful place homely and very comfortable decor quirky great sea views . lovely welcome from the friendly staff Breakfast absolutely delicious

Honestly could find any faults

This B&B is in a picturesque location and is a Victorian home that is very nicely decorated and cozy. We stayed in the "Woodland apartment" that sits behind the property (no view) and is located on a walk path that leads to a castle and grounds. The location is convenient with a short walk to town (10 mins). The staff were very courteous and friendly and shared the information we needed at check-in. The apartment had a nice bed upstairs (narrow stairs with an "Z" shaped curve that made carrying suitcases a bit difficult. The shower was a nice size and the water pressure was great and lots of hot water :) The kitchenette was very useful since we decided to cook one night, the refrigerator was great for storing drinks and food, perfect size for 2 people.

A few things we'd suggest to the owner: in the kitchenette a dish drainer, tea towels and kitchen roll (we went and purchased them)would be nice. In the bathroom, there is little to no space to put toiletries, although the decor is very nice the counter space is scant. There is no toilet roll holder, they are left on the back of the toilet or floor. A hook on the back of the bathroom door, (the heated towel rack is nice but does not fit 2 bath towels). Also, a hook or two next to the sink to hang hand towels would be helpful. Finally, the small TV in the living room is old and difficult to see from the couch. We were fortunate that no one was in the adding room 'till the last day of our 5 night stay since we could hear their conversation in the morning as if they were in the same room : (

Great stay. Clean, comfortable, easy walk to town center. Very welcoming. Excellent restaurant. Highly recommend.

The house has been beautifully furnished and decorated and the location is ideal for the ferry and to walk into town. The breakfast was cooked in an open plan kitchen which was super.

Can’t think of anything really. Our room had an old styled bath which took up a lot of space in the bedroom. The shower was big so not sure why both were there. But others probably love it!

Simply Great! Enjoyed the welcome and kindness of the staff. Perfect room, excellent breakfast. Particularly liked the way how they run the bar, based on trust - you take the drink, list it…and pay on the check out day.

Great location - great breakfast and great bed. Staff were great.

It’s a nicely presented and run property just make sure to stay on top of minor details in the rooms.

Lovely staff, fantastic with our dog!

Beautifully maintained and very comfortable.Lovely welcome with a glass of champagne. Breakfast was outstanding.

Our room was at the top of three flights of stairs and there’s no lift, but our luggage was carried to the room, which helps!

Everything !! Location, breakfast, assistance and room were perfect !!

Great location, comfortable launge, lovely room and delicious breakfast.

Really lovely decor in the lounge area and a well stocked honesty bar was a great touch. The staff were incredibly attentive and made us feel immediately welcome. Our room was also lovely.

My only complaint was that the pillows were a bit lacklustre.

Brilliant staff. Home away from home. Outstanding breakfast

Nothing

The location is perfect, right on the water and just a short walk from the centre of Oban. We were able to park our rental car right in the main lot which was really nice. From the very first greeting, all the way through check-out, we felt really cared for. I would say that No. 26 absolutely understands hospitality and the host made our time feel very special. We would highly recommend the breakfast. It was lovely to wake up and just walk down to a freshly prepared meal of our choice.

It's really hard to find something we didn't like, but if I had to say anything it would be that the room got quite hot. Now it is summer and doesn't have air conditioning, so we understand there is only so much that can be done. If you are traveling in summer, that's just something to keep in mind. There was a fan provided which helped a little.

Breakfast was amazing. Freshly prepared with a choice of everything you need. The best one we had in Scotland so far. Parking in front of the house. Close to the city center, 10 min walking. Rachel was very supportive.

Cleanliness was not the best. We needed to call the receptionist to clean our dirty toilet and replace missing towels.

Room furnished to an incredibly high standard. Lovely check in experience with some bubbles. Incredible, incredible breakfast - by far the best I’ve had. Michelin started chefs would struggle to do better I think! Fantastic location and sea views.

The property is beautiful with incredible breakfast and our hostess was lovely and very knowledgeable. We took her suggestions for everything and had such a fab stay in Oban. I would recommend No. 26 without a shadow of doubt to every one looking to spend time in my new favourite town!

The room was small and did overheat.

We loved the decor. Very quirky with beautiful furnishings. Quiet location with wonderful Sea Views. Great Breakfast.

Not a lot of room for clothes if staying longer than day or two. Not a lot bathroom space for toiletries. Understand space would be difficult but trying to come up with something we didn’t like is also a problem!

Location was great on the esplanade with great view. Staff were so helpful & just lovely. The decor fab and colourful. Morning tray with juice & pastries very unexpected. Breakfast wonderful. It was a fabulous place to stay and would definitely stay again

The only thing was the bedroom we had was compact but the sitting room was a lovely place to relax in, so that made up for the space.

Everything, from the moment you enter the hotel you are served a fine glass of prosecco. There is someone who will explain anything on your stay and may even give you some great tips for your further travel. It all has the feel of a 5-star B&B with a really distinguished interior design. The showers worked will and the bed made you sleep like a baby.

I could only write something here if I am in a mood to complain.
