The room was close to everything we needed, including the ferry terminal for the trip to Iona. Oban is a great place to visit and our room at Raniven was a gem. Off street parking so close to the harbour is permitted and we had that. The room was spacious and the bed was very comfortable.

The room was small, but clean. Limited amenities. It's a good location, walkable to everywhere. Onsite parking was excellent. I would say it's good budget accommodation.

A nice clean room with a comfy bed and nice bedding. Room 4 is pretty small and I was only in it on my own and struggled a bit for space. The two chairs provided have low backs so personally for me, not comfy. A bigger, higher table or unit would be much better for making tea and coffee. The small table was so low and awkward. Overall a good stay though!

Comfortable Stay

A comfortable room with a spotless bathroom. Clear and accurate instructions about entry and we had off-street car parking. In Room 2 there was one chair and no desk. A warm and cosy room. Ours was a three night stay.

The room was very clean, very quiet and the property was easy to access, in a safe neighborhood and in a walkable distance from the train station/port area. Unfortunately, the standard double bed was a little tight and we wish we would have had a queen-size bed.

Great little apartment a block away from the main streets of Oban, with off street parking in back and an easy walk to restaurants and bars. Minor issue getting email instructions on how to get in, but when I left a message to the host they called back in minutes and resolved the issue.

Comfy, close to the action, just no fridge.

A cute place in a great location, just a 5 minute walk to the waterfront. Perfectly situated so you aren’t quite in the thick of the main traffic area but still very close. I loved the parking availability and was fortunate to not have to fight for a spot when I was there. Only downside: no refrigerator. I had to throw out some grocery items on my trip because I had nowhere to put them.
