Andrew
Very friendly and welcoming. Little touches were lovely
Sari
The drive up the road to the house is a bit confusing at first as one has to drive up a narrow winding road uphill and the parking requires a bit of flexibility because you can’t park in front of the building.But the view is worth it. Lovely room, in a quiet midtown neighborhood, with excellent views. My host was very friendly and helpful. The room I slept in felt like my own bedroom, very cozy. Surprising amenities including a little fridge with food were provided as there was no breakfast per se.
Lesley
I was made to feel very welcome and was very comfortable here. The bed was large and comfortable, television great. The breakfast unexpected was lovely to have cereal, yogurt. Milk, apple juice, biscuits and tea/coffee/chocolate. I shared a bathroom which was fine as vloseby, I had my own toilet and sink which was great. The house looked in need of repair and there was a damp smell. It is uphill from the village so need to take. £5 taxi from the station up. The walk downhill on a narrow busy road is about 15mins and easy enough. There is a luggage storage near the station search for bounce and book it in if needed. Oban is small and cute.

Don Muir is super comfy and cozy. My stay was lovely
Jennifer
Carolyn was a very friendly and helpful host.
Martin
Really nice room with a helpful owner
Julia
The host was not very nice, the room was extremely small, there was no hair dryer, the room smelled musty, there was no place to park, and it was expensive. Enough said.
Rebecca
Great B&B . Everything we needed for an overnight stay in Oban before heading to the ferry to Mull .Very convenient and good fitness waking up the hill to the property . Taxi if not inclined to walk up hills . Really nice touch to have the breakfast cereals , juice and yogurt . Thank you .
John
Good but no hot water in tap
Mark
Great property for a quick overnight stay between island hoping on the Western Isles. Nice and quiet location rather than the hustle and bustle of Oban town centre.
MICHAEL
No cat didnt need laundry bedding very clean and fresh
Elspeth
The room was immaculately clean. As a female I was given the room with a toilet which was appreciated. There was cereal in the room and a fridge with drinks and yoghurt so it was well thought out.
The room was very good value. My only thought is that the entrance into the front garden could have been better. There were 2 bags of what could have been cement lying at the entrance which was already quite narrow so not the best when carrying a heavy suitcase. But parking was very handy and the landlady was very friendly. I would recommend this for value and cleanliness.

Lovely room, quiet. Lots of treats in the room! Had to walk to the parking, but it was close.
Guillermo
The host was very kind! I appreciated the drinks and snacks in the room and the comfortable bed! It was so cozy and warm! Check in was easy as I arrived late in the evening all the instructions were posted for me :) I would definitely stay again!
Amita
Very friendly welcome. The complimentary cereals were a lovely touch.
Agustin
Great place to stay
Really nice place with our private bathroom. The host was amazing, and even offered to do our laundry for a very reasonable fee.
Samantha
Place was clean and the host was super kind. A bit of an uphill walk if youre coming from the town but it is really close to a lovely viewpoint that overlooks the town. Very nice at sunset!
Kimberly
It was a very cozy, clean, and well appointed room. Nice little touches like snacks, soft drinks, juice, milk, yogourt, and cereal left for guests.
John
This place is great! The innkeeper is super sweet and helpful. Parking is easy for a town that has very little free parking. It's a ten-minute walk to downtown. Great, cute room. No complaints. Would definitely stay here again.
Kerry-Anne
The venue is up a gradual slope, being around a 10 minute walk from the town centre however the view of the harbour during the walk is beautiful. Being close to the pulpit hill viewpoint makes a nice trip being only a couple minutes walk from the venue.
Carolyn was very welcoming and seeing me as a female sole traveler, made me feel very safe and gave me suggestions for the best places to visit.
The bedroom was perfect and although it is a shared bathroom, which I was nervous about, this proved to be no problem at all. The cute little breakfast selection and variety of refreshments were just lovely.
I’ll definitely return on my next trip to Oban !

A bit of a climb on a narrow road, from the down town, if you are walking.
Michelle
This is a beautiful property and well worth a visit. Despite my train arriving after check-in, it was very easy to access my room. The room was a good size and very clean. The hostess is friendly and extremely accommodating. If you use public transportation, be aware that the property is near Pulpit Hill, so there is some steep walking. However, buses do serve this area, and you can get a taxi. I came to Scotland to hike, so the uphill walk was a welcome part of the trip. The house was less than 15 15-minute walk from the bus station, ferry, and city centre, so very convenient for tourists. I would highly recommend a stay at Don Muir House.
Ellen
The proprietress, Caroline, was welcoming and helpful. She had thoughtfully provided snacks and breakfast foods / drinks for the room. The room was cozy, clean, and quiet. We had a beautiful view during our walk down to Oban town, caught a gorgeous sunset, and enjoyed dinner at the Oban Brasserie (in the Perle Oban hotel). Thank you for a lovely stay!
Danial
Caroline was an excellent host. She greeted me upon arrival and recommended things to do and places to visit on my stay here. The room was very tidy, had a heater and complimentary coffee, tea and some snacks for breakfast. Everything was well maintained and the views nearby of Oban were spectacular
Laura
Cold faucet never turned off, refrigerator was loud, no shampoo, conditioner or Kleenex. Room and towels were had mildew scent. Strenuous walk to and from restaurants bed sages in the misdle
irene
Very friendly and helpful proprietor. Lovely room with added extras.
Henry
Amazing place to stay for the night before catching the ferry, lovely clean and quiet with a comfy bed and easy parking. Would definitely recommend this place
Jess
Cosy place!
I travelled solo to Oban and had the cosiest stay. The land lady was super friendly and attentive. I was so warm and felt so safe.
Heather
My husband and I have been traveling Scotland for our honeymoon. We found this guest house when looking for places to stay on our travels. We absolutely LOVED it. Our host, Caroline was wonderful and welcoming. Could not have asked for a better host.
Our room was clean, and spacious. We had some cereal, snacks, milk, and orange juice in our room. There was also tea and coffee provided. We were extremely close to town and parking was super easy and close. We will definitely be coming back when we are able to travel again.

On a hill with a great view. Accommodations were excellent. A bit difficult to find for someone not familiar with the area and non-numbered house addresses. Just ask for directions from one of the neighbors you’ll likely find walking their dog and you’ll be fine.
DONNA
We loved staying at Don Muir. Caroline was helpful, responsive and just a nice lady. Instructions were clear and she provided a nice little complimentary breakfast basket in our spotless room. Free parking is nearby, but you can unload and load right at her place.The walk to downtown Oban is about 15 minutes one way. We were happy to walk as parking in Oban was not great. Bed was very comfy and shower was great.
Lawrence
Location was perfect, convenient and close to Oban attractions
Scott
Close to Pulpit hill view of Oban bay, only a 15 minute walk to oban town centre, 2 minute drive to the ferry terminal. It is room only but a welcoming pack was put in the room, including, cereals, crisps and soft drinks, in the fridge was milk, orange juice and yoghurts. Lovely host.

The Don Muir guest house is very quiet, and quite comfortable. I would recommend a small table in the room.
Gabriella
Clean, easy checkin, affordable, safe.
Colin
Great guest house
Lovely guest out, some great complimentary snacks, very good welcome by friendly host. Up a steep hill in Oban but not far to walk down to pier, shops etc
Norman
Some complimentary breakfast supplies in the room
David
Great spot in Oban
A very well set up room for us, for a last minute pick in Oban. Though not large, everything we needed was there, working, and comfy and quiet.
We recc the Oban Inn, along the far edge of town near the waterfront, for great food and atmosphere. And the live caeli (sp?) music was really good.

Great quick stay
Excellent short stay as we prepare to take the ferry to Mull. Great proximity to Oban, up on the hill above the town, so quiet and peaceful. Incredible view facing west from the car park! Lovely stay in a clean and comfy room.
Catherine
A wonderful hidden location above Oban but really an easy walk down a steep road off Pulpit Hill to the back of the CalMac ferry dock. Just pay attention to passing cars.
Peter
The fridge had some fruit juice and milk for hot drinks which was lovely. Even though it wasn't a b and b, the owner had thoughtfully put some breakfast items in the room which we appreciated as we had to be in the queue for the ferry to Coll at 6.15am.
John
The view of the city and harbor from Pulpit Hill lookout was fantastic!!
Ian
Owner was very friendly and helpful.Easy check in and out.Quiet neighborhood in a beautiful town
Carmen
The Owner was very friendly and helpful. The room was very quaint.
Louise
Nice quiet accommodation, and certainly plenty of exercise walking up and down the hill to town!
Marrisa
We had a lovely stay, definitely would stay here again.
Leah
Lovely place, host met us as we came in. Room was stalked with delicious goodies and fresh milk in fridge. A little tight to get to hotel but worth the drive up the mountain as the views are amazing. Convenient parking just up the road.
James
Carolyne was an excellent host. Meeting us at check-in and explaining the property. When she noticed we had mobility problems, she immediately asked if we would like to change to a downstairs room.The room was spotlessly clean, very good shower and plenty of tea, coffee makings and snacks. Parking was approx 50m away and no problem. Our host was available if we had any problems, of which we had none. The property is up a steep hill. My suggestion would be walk down (approx 12 minutes)and take a taxi back up (£5 approx). Overall a priceworthy and most enjoyable stay
Only 1 problem, despite our best efforts, we were unable to detect any smell of pine, vomit, dampness or smelly dogs around mentioned in other reviews lol. Will definitely return if the host will have us.

Friendly, comfortable stay
I thoroughly enjoyed my one night at the guesthouse. The host could not have been nicer or more helpful. My room was great with nice touches of hospitality. The bathroom could use a little updating but nothing major—it all worked!
Others have mentioned the steep uphill location, so I’ll just say, yes, it’s a climb. If you arrive with lots of luggage and don’t have a car, maybe get a taxi! But you end up on a nice quiet road with great views.

We found it difficult to find. Suggest Room 5 needs heavier curtains to stop sunshine/daylight so early in morning.
Linda
Room very clean & good amenities
Marilyn
Good location for ferries. Quiet area and nice room. Check-in easy, and parking nearby.
Kathie
The room was cean and nicely decorated. Bar fridge with milk and juice. The bed was in need of being replaced (room #2) as extremely soft and we rolled into the middle. Needs towel bars or hooks in the toilet as no where to hang the towels.

Nice to have a fridge with juice and milk. Needed a new bed as wsy to soft and we sank into the middle. No where to hang towels in the toilet.
Lois
Convenient to town. Lovely hostess
Douglas
All good but a mat in the bath would be useful.
Ian
The accommodation was quiet, comfortable and the owner was very friendly and helpful.
Phil
A great B&B Comfortable, clean & friendly. Highly recommend.
Marjorie
The woman in charge was friendly and helpful. The location is relatively close to train station but at the top of a winding steep road. It is scenic but one would enjoy it more if you are not walking.
James
Very welcoming and cheerful owner. We ordered a breakfast which was brought to our room. Easy walk into town, though up and down a steep hill so some may find difficult. Car parking easy. We enjoyed our stay and would go again.
Pauline
Lovely , comfy and a guid breakfast
Cosy and quiet and tip top breakfast served bang on time
Philip
the room was comfortable. The bathroom was disappointing. The shower floor was soft underfoot and the water pressure was poor. The towels were not absorbent. Having said that the room was a reasonable price and was fine for our one night there.

Ran out of toilet paper with no extra any where in the room, terrible shower going from extremely hot to freezing cold and having to stand on the edge. Directions for breakfast are unclear so we didn’t get what we thought. Wifi didn’t work in our room. Bed was uncomfortable
