    No staff on site and they don't clean your room during your stay. Maybe make clearer on the booking.com website when booking the difference between a hotel v's an Airbnb style room? The upstairs rooms are clustered around a small landing. Lots of guests enjoyed slamming their room doors. This was annoying late at night. The fire alarm went off at 10.30pm one night, so we all vacated the premises. As it was raining, sat in our car in the carpark until someone drove to the premises to switch the alarm off. Appears to have been a false alarm, there was no explanation or apology from the guy that showed up.

    Room No. 8 had a view of the main road into Oban but also a view of the water. Tea & coffee making facilities in the room and a large communal fridge in the common room downstairs where you can label and put other food items. 5 minute walk into town.

    Unfortunately, we passed it on the way into Oban & spent almost an hour trying to find it from the town because we were convinced it should have been ' sharp left' as you came on to Dunollie road from the A85. So had to phone the owner, who guided us to the accommodation. And it was very obvious, once you got there!!! But we felt that bit of instruction was misleading & should have said ' sharp left at the bottom' of Dunollie Road just before the roundabout.

    Good location. Quiet, clean accommodation and easy to come & go as you please. Great view of the bay from room 8

    The only problem was that the WiFi was down when we arrived but was being worked on. The problem was fixed but, unfortunately, not for our room. When I reported it the next day(we arrived back at our room late evening, so too late to report it then), the matter was quickly resolved. Just a minor blip.

    Nice clean, comfortable room. Spacious sitting area with a wonderful view of the Bay. Cleaning staff we met twice were very friendly, cheerful, and helpful.

    Very, very small room. Very, very small bathroom. Doors on rooms slammed. A pet peeve of mine for almost every hotel and guest house...should be signs on doors asking guests to stop doors from slamming.

    Excellent location with easy walking access to restaurants, shops and seawall. Surprisingly quiet though rooms very close together. Cleaner than expected. Liked the availability of a fridge.

    No breakfast as they said it was supplied. Ideally if they could bring back the breakfast pack that would make it an even more amazing experience, I think that would have topped off my daughters first experience being away for a competition.

    The accommodation was lovely and clean, and the location was perfect for what we came to Oban to do. A couple of hiccups but it was the first weekend of opening, and doubt that will be the same for others who stay going forward. There was no breakfast when we stayed, but there are some lovely places in town for breakfast (most stop serving at 10.30am) but Julies serves till 11.15am. Would definitely stay again.

    On the down side, there was hardly anywhere for clothes - more hanging places are needed and some drawers for clothes and apart from balancing the cases on two little stools there was nowhere else to keep them. The roller blinds didn't work when we arrived, but I managed to fix the right side one as the chain for opening/closing had come off and on the left side there was no chain.  Also not working was the bedside light to the right of the bed. There were no glasses in the ensuite for things like toothbrushes. Our biggest problem was the lack of any plates or cutlery to do our own breakfast.  I'm well aware that on the email correspondence prior to arriving you say "We want to remind you that that you have booked a ROOM ONLY stay. This simply means that we do not have the facilities to offer a cooked breakfast unless you are staying at one of our apartments"  That's fair enough but a much better and fairer wording would be "you cannot eat any breakfast in Dalrigh unless you bring your own food, plates and cutlery" On the night of Thursday 28th the fire alarm was activated about 10.30pm.  Guests had to evacuate while the Fire Brigade check things out. No apology was given to any of the guests as far as I'm aware and no explanation on why the alarm went off - was it a fire? It has proved impossible to find the name of the person in charge of the accommodation - they don't live on site.

    It is in an excellent location with an easy walk into Oban and therefore access to local facilities without the need to take the car.  The room we had (room 1) was in very good order for the most part. The newly refurbished ensuite was excellent and the room did have a great view of the water in the distance. There was plenty of room to leave a car and walk into Oban.
