Reviews of Dalrigh House

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.

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.

Location, comfy bed, easy check inn and check out. Communication from the owner was excellent.

Was all great

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.

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.

There was a problem with the layout of our room due to it being refurbished - I phoned John and he sorted the issue out within minutes and to our benefit- great customer service

Location was good. I stayed 3 years ago in it's previous form.

Ideally a small fridge in the room and some basic cutlery would be an improvement.

The property was excellent everything we needed.

Nothing

Location

The shower was terrible. You couldn’t adjust the temperature easily, if you wanted hot water, it was scalding.

Great location on edge of town but perfect to walk in and out. Parking onsite a breeze. Great view from room. On main road but when windows were shut could not hear a thing.

Nothing

Very good location. The room is clean and well maintained.

Nice Style & furniture,big room, near to Oban Center

A lot of humidity in the room, maybe caused by the old windows, (a little mold in the shower)

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

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.

Quiet clean & convenient for town centre

Lack of meal making facilities

Very peaceful location and close to the town

Beautiful house in a lovely part of town. The sitting room is a nice addition.

Beautiful room with a fabulous sea view. Couple of minutes walk to town

Nothing it was fabulous

The location. The property itself was very quiet we felt safe. Large sitting area which was very comfortable.

Location & parking. Comfortable bed.

The room was very basic, no drawers, shelves or towel rails. We’ve given a low rate for cleanliness, not because it wasn’t clean when we arrived but we were there for two nights and the room wasn’t serviced. The worst thing was that there was no staff on the premises. We had a problem and called the “ help” number but got no reply. This also happened to another guest.

Great location, great sleep. Big clean toilet. Great shower.

People coming in at 1am as the corridor is open you heat everything from someone coming in and just talking plus footsteps echoing.

Location

No help from any staff. Not a glass in the room, or bathroom no remote for the TV when asked about remote staff said we will put one in your room. Obviously they were too busy to check if the remote actually worked.. Remote left in the room was absolutely useless
