Our time at Gramarvin was very enjoyable. The guesthouse was centrally located, spotless, very comfortable; breakfast was outstanding; and our hosts were very pleasant and helpful with recommendations. Highly recommended.

We stayed for one night stop over on our travels. Our double room was spotlessly clean with tea & coffee making facility. En suite shower room with plenty of towels. Our bed was super comfy too. Full cooked breakfast and pots of tea served at 8.30am that was excellent 5*. Parking available at the rear of the building. Very friendly... More

We stayed at Gramarvin in Oban early in April of 2013. We only wish that we had booked a few more days here…not only because of the guest house, but because Oban was such a pretty little town. But to focus on Gramarvin…it was a lovely stay. Mary and Joe were gracious hosts and the room was beautiful. It was... More

My friend & I stayed at Gramarvin Guesthouse for 2 nights after travelling by bus from Ullapool, where we had travelled for a wedding. After our long day of travel it was nice to arrive at such a clean, comfortable place to stay. Our twin room was spacious, lots of closet space, a nice bathroom with shower & super cosy... More

We stayed two nights at Gramarvin Guest House. It is located just a few blocks from the town center, the harbor, and the Oban Distillery. Our room was clean and updated. The breakfast was substantial. Mary was an excellent host and very helpful. Parking was available in the back of the guest house. The wifi was a little quirky sometimes.... More

We were in Oban for a single night stay and Gramarvin had been recommended to us by a friend. The house was so clean it could have been mistaken for a show-home! Rooms were a good size and very comfortable. We wouldn't hesitate to book again if we were coming to Oban.

Mary and Joe are 2 of the nicest people we have ever met, a warm friendly welcome and nothing too much trouble. The guest house itself is immaculate and exceptionally clean but very comfortable at the same time. The breakfast is to die for and off road private parking as well!!! I would have no hesitation in recommending the Gramarvin... More

I will second the comments concerning Gramarvin's convenience to everything in Oban and that the owner keeps the property spotlessly clean. It is also a fine value. I wish that I had known that the owner will not accept a credit card for payment, a policy that was never communicated in the email correspondence or on their web page. Perhaps... More

Fantastic host, cosy comfy modern rooms, super location for town and it's many restaurants and shops. Breakfast was great lots of choice and veggie options. I would not hesitate to recommend this BnB.
