“Excellent Location, Very Friendly”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 February 2012

people found this review helpful

We spent two nights at the Kathmore, 3rd and 4th Feb. The guest house is easy to find, has ample private parking and is very clean, there is also an excellent breakfast choice. Morven is very friendly and welcoming and I will certainly visit the Kathmore again as it is an excellent base for discovering Oban and the surrounding area. The location is good as its only a short walk from the centre of Oban.

“Great, comfortable, friendly stay.”

Found the Kathmore through a friend after planning a road trip to Mull. Booked the day of (it was December, so not really a problem) and we were all very pleased with our stay. Convenient to the center of town, and close to the ferry terminal. Rooms were very nice, and beds were super comfortable. The owner was very friendly and breakfast in the morning was superb. Would stay there again without question!

“A very good find”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 November 2011

Stumbled upon Kathmore Guest House more by luck than judgment. Initially booked in for the one night but quickly changed this to three nights 24th - 26th Oct. As other people have said Morven is very helpful and hospitable. We were made to feel very welcome and everything is well organised with excellent choice of quality breakfasts. A short walk into town and good off road safe parking. Represents very good value and would have liked to stay longer if time had allowed. We plan to return to do some more exploration of the area but will organise this to ensure we can get accommodation at Kathmore.

Thank you so much for your lovely review folks. I remember you both so well. It would be lovely to see you back and it would be a pleasure to see you again. Oban is a beautiful area with so much to see and enjoy. Unfortunately most people just pass through and do not see the real beauty of our area. Glad you experience it for yourself. We are so lucky where we live. Look forward to seeing you both back.

All the best folks

“Oban Experience”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 October 2011

My wife and I very much enjoyed our stay at Kathmore. Morven was a very friendly, welcoming and helpful host, especially when my GPS lady got us lost in the middle of town during "peak hour" on our way there :-) . Good location, with plenty of parking, nice, comfortable room, great breakfast and good value for money. What more could you ask for? Ann & Peter, Melbourne, Australia.
