This is the third time I have stayed at Thornloe and on each occasion the excellent standard has been maintained. Alan and Val are very friendly and helpful and nothing appears to be too much trouble. Everything is very clean and comfortable and the breakfasts are brilliant. I would certainly have no hesitation in recommending their accommodation.

We stayed for one night in this nice B&B. Room number two has a great view and there is a lot of space. The bed is very comfortable you feel like laying in a cosey cloud. The bathroom en-suite seems to be recently refurbished and the shower has a good temp. All in all this was a good stay and... More

Second time I've stayed here. 1 week on both occasions I will be back again next year. There is so much to do using Oban as a base. Val & Alan are very friendly & helpful. Nothing seems too much trouble. Val paticularly is a veritable mine of information about the area. Things to do. Times of transport. Alan's breakfasts... More

A delightful guest house with a comfortable and well-equipped room . The beautiful sea - view made getting up in the morning a pleasure! The breakfasts were delicious and plentiful . One of the benefits was the proximity to the town which meant the car could be safely left parked at Thornloe. Val and Alan were welcoming hosts with Val... More

We were lucky enough to have the room with the 4 poster bed which was very comfortable and spacious. The view from this room is spectacular and every morning of our 3 day stay when I pulled back the curtains we saw the most beautiful scenery and sunrise.... and a sperm whale which had strayed into the bay!

From the minute I was welcomed in and shown my room, with a beautiful sunny sea view, to eating my smoked salmon and scrambled eggs breakfast the next morning, I couldn't have felt more at home and relaxed. Val and Alan are a great example of hosts who have a warm welcome for you with lots of info on hand... More

We recently chose to stay at Thornloe after reading the reviews on Tripadvisor; we were not disappointed. We stayed in Room 6 which had been advertised as having ‘a sea view’, I am often wary of these claims as ‘the view’ is often only seen if you have a very good imagination! Not so here, the view was amazing, looking... More

We had a fantastic stay at Thornloe. Our Family room was large and airy, with very comfortable beds. Breakfast was delicious with everything we could ask for. We travelled with two small children who were well catered for. Val was a wonderful host. We would definately stay at Thornloe again when we come to Oban.

We stayed several days here and had a large room with views of Oban. We also had a large ensuite. We had delicious breakfasts each morning. It is situated above the main town and is a short steep walk up the hill. There is a small area of off street parking which was fine for us as we were there... More
