- Julie (10/5): 5 Star for Katmore House - Brilliant stay at Kathmore. Room very spacious & clean. Shower was fantastic, bed a little hard for us, but thats just our preference, but certainly wouldnt stop us booking again. Great location to explore & walk into town,takes approx 10 mins to get into harbour for some lovely restaurants, or fish & chips to watch the sun go down.. Breakfast is amazing, so much to chose from & accomodating if you want something different. Owners are so friendly & welcoming. So much love has gone into this B&B, just the little details. Nothing too much trouble Definately 5 star..

- Christina (10/5): - Couldn't fault this guest house. Very clean wellequipped bedrooms. Lovely sitting areas inside and outside. Breakfast lovely with very efficient, friendly service. Owners and staff couldn't do enough for me. 20 out of 10
- Chris (10/5): - Our second stay here, and a warm welcome greeted two very wet motorcyclists! A great location, only a short walk into Oban with a beautifully cooked breakfast in the morning. We'll certainly stay again next time we're in the area.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Close to town, nice breakfast, COVID friendly. Sink a little small but all good.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - The thoughtful details make the Kathmore stand out for comfort and convenience. Wonderfully hosted and ideally located for restaurants and hiking or mountain biking.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - beautiful, clean, and breakfast is nice!
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Lovely homely feel and very welcoming. When we arrived (after the Siri satnav took us out of town) we found ample parking and a smooth booking in. We were shown various places of interest to eat and drink. Which we did. The room was big and spacious, enough for two adults. A small amount of plugs meant we could not charge all our devices so had to prioritise. The bed was super soft and I sank into it (perhaps an upgrade to king size and memory foam topper) with so many pillows. The room had wardrobe, bedside cabinets, stool and dresser table, tv and bath robes. We found the fan so we could keep cool (good investment) The en-suite was nice, bit tight including the shower, could only just get my but in. Worked well tho. The breakfast was superb with quality food. Tea, coffee, toast, OJ, and a full breakfast (sausage, bacon x2,tomato, beans, tattie scone, black pudding and mushrooms. Set us up for the day. The whole place had a warm welcoming feeling and we settled straight in. Location was close to the town and a few steps to Tesco or Aldi/Lidl to stock up on munchies. The town was a bustling busy place and it felt like the world had got back to normal (still at the tail end of Covid). So if you want close proximity to the town, comfortable accommodation then this is the place to go. Recommend to others? Most definitely but ask for a harder bed. Return again? Yep, absolutely
- Verified traveler (10/5): - This property had more than I was expecting as a b&b bathrobes little extras which you don't usually get

- Verified traveler (10/5): - Fabulous place and hosts! Full of charm and character. This place is taking better safety measures than any other place I’ve stayed in. Rooms are so beautiful and comfortable. Hosts are very welcoming, friendly, and polite. Breakfast is fresh and delicious. Location is great - literally a few minutes walk away from the harbour. This really should be a 5 star place!
- Liz (10/5): Excellent stopover - The hosts couldn’t have been more welcoming and accommodating. The takeaway breakfast was outstanding. I would highly recommend
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Lovely friendly stay, conveniently situated and with helpful on site free parking that meant I could walk into the busy town...
- Christopher (10/5): Excellent stay - Really enjoyed our stay here. Immaculately clean and a lovely breakfast. Hosts were happy to help with any info about Oban we needed. Got in our room very early too which was great. Only downside was leaving
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Morven was an extremely welcoming and helpful host. The bedroom and bathroom were sparkling clean and had everything we needed. The best part was our packed breakfast as we had an early ferry to catch. It was excellent and much appreciated.
- Verified traveler (2/5): - One of the worst accommodation I have ever stayed at! The woman goes from being polite and chatty to being rude! From the 1st day she flipped out and started having a go because we came down after 9am for breakfast, after her saying that was ok for us to come down when we want but the cooking finishes at 9am! When she started I said I was happy to have my food left out if I was late! She agreed after judging me for not minding if my breakfast is hot. But everyday she would still be waiting for us making us feel awkward and rushed! On the last day she told us to be out by 10 and both her and her husband knocked 4 times starting over an hour before. On the last time he was being intimidating and lieing about the time, saying it was 10am 11 mins before it was. We go downstairs where after being promised i could leave my case there but they then said we couldn't. Some lame excuse about going out for day yet they wouldn't even agree to even leave them in the garden they wanted to hold our luggage hostage,if weren't there at exactly certain time! Then we were refused breakfast that we paid for and they didn't even want me to have a small amount of cereal with my pills, while I'm asking if i can she's getting more and more unstable threatening to call the police. Then her husband started being a bully saying we were late, how about you are not clear. Too pay to stay somewhere and feel awkward, scared of the mood swings and confused as constantly she was saying diffierent things!
- Verified traveler (10/5): - I liked the attention to detail, cleanliness in every aspect of property. Staff were very well organised and friendly. Hard to find anything l disliked!
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Very convenient for ferry. Very friendly and great breakfast choices. We were late arriving due to ferry difficulties but still received a very warm welcome.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Lovely one night stay at the Kathmore B&B ; excellent location for walking into Oban. Good on site parking! Lovely room and excellent facilities; lovely breakfast. Friendly hosts ; would stay here again !
- Paul (10/5): Lovely accommodation - Lovely stay very convenient for Oban visit
- George (10/5): Kathmore - Kathmore guest house is 5 mins from Tesco and the town ,very clean breakfast was really good . very clean and Covid 19 was covered with plenty of hand sanitiser I would definitely go back
- Kevin (10/5): - Very friendly stay. Parking was freely available, check-in proceedure and breakfast excellent, highly recommend
- Cherry (8/5): Nice 2 day break - Lovely small guest house just outside the city centre. Room was large, bright and comfortable with double bed, sofa, coffee table, tv, tea/coffee making facilities and en suite with double shower. The negative for me was the busy main road out front and limited sound proofing from the windows. Ear plugs were supplied but they don’t work for me. Traffic can be busy from 5am. However night nurse helped on the second night. Accommodation prices in Oban seem far more expensive than some 3/4 star hotels in Edinburgh. Lovely full English breakfast with a good variety and choice. Cereals available and fresh fruit salad, yoghurts. All served with speed and a smile Guest lounge available to use also . We would recommend staying but if we return would personally choose a rear facing room.
- Gordon (10/5): Excellent B &B - Had a lovely 3 night stay, room looked over the garden so was quiet enough, very clean and hosts were lovely. Private carpark at back of property so felt our motorbike was safe. A short walk into Oban Centre but no problem. Would recommend. Felt it very clean and plenty hand sanitizer, etc
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Great room with a lovely on suite bathroom. Morven was the perfect host and the breakfast was beautiful. The other guests were friendly and equally as impressed with the guest house. The parking was simple and secure. Highly recommended as the location was ideal for walking into central Oban and is also close to the shops.
- Daren (10/5): Friendly, clean and tidy - Excellent, safe offroad parking, nice clean room, modern bathroom. Friendly people, nice breakfast.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Great, friendly place, really clean and good covid protection. 10 to 15 min walk to oban centre. We enjoyed the sun terrace at the back to sit out late pm for a beer as it was a nice day. Good breakfast included, I'd stay here again
- Alice (10/5): Excellent B&B to stay in Oban - So glad we chose to stay here. Perfect location, only 5 minutes walk to town. We had a lovely room with en suite which was equipped with toiletries and bath robes. Breakfast was delicious and would also recommend the porridge. We had an early ferry so Morven made us up a lovely packed lunch and included a pot of fresh fruit with granola and a Greek yogurt. Our weather was glorious and there’s a lovely garden to sit in and enjoy a pre dinner drink. I wouldn’t consider staying anywhere else in Oban when we visit again. The standard of cleanliness is excellent and there’s liquid cleaner and wipes to use after using banisters etc. We didn’t have the car but there’s plenty of room to park on the premises.
- Gordon (10/5): Brilliant stay - Excellent stay.Host’s could not have done enough for us.
- David (10/5): Excellent, highly recommended! - Very clean and well equipped. Morven and Keith have been running this establishment for many years and it shows as they have everything ‘tweaked’ to the guests satisfaction. Will definitely come back and will also recommend to all!
- Dirk (10/5): Exceptionally lovely hosts - Clean and comfortable. Delicious and fresh breakfasts. Morven and Keith went out of their way to make our stay especially enjoyable. Highly recommended!
- David (10/5): - Lovely welcome, comfy room, great breakfast, what more could you want.
- Andrew (10/5): A great choice for visiting Oban - A lovwly hotel, with two lovely hosts Morven and Keith. Cosy room with restful bed, great shower. Wide choice at breakfast, good knowledge of gluten free too. We will be back
