I thoroughly enjoyed my overnight stay in this lovey guest house,  the house was spotlessly clean, good location with lots of special little touches. I would definitely come back here again. The house also had car parking to the front of the property.

Excellent guest house

We loved this comfortable and relaxing guest house with a wonderful view of the sea and ferries sailing past. Every little detail had been considered and we enjoyed the food snacks and sherry. It was a lovely stroll into town with its shops and restaurants along the esplanade. We would definitely recommend this accommodation and hope to visit again one day.

Comfortable and relaxing guest house with every detail considered.

What can I say...from the moment we walked into the room it was stunning! We were in room 6. From the well thought out little snacks to the gorgeous decor we honestly don't have a bad word to say.  It is in a great location for walking to the main centre of Oban but still feels like you are far enough away for peace and quiet.  Every thing was spotlessly clean and felt like no one had stayed there before us!  Worth every penny, couldn't recommend enough and will definitely be back.

Stunning!  Not a bad word to say!

The best Guest House that my wife and I have ever been to. We had a spacious and glorious decorated sea view room,overlooking Oban Harbour with stunning views. The bed and pillows were first class and sleep was really comfortable. 
The ensuite was spacious,exceptionally clean and tastefully decorated.
There are plenty of small touches that are thoughtful and well appreciated.
Free fruit,crisps,sweets,tea,coffee and sherry to name a few.
The Guest House is ideally situated on the Corran Esplanade and is only a 15 stroll to the center of Oban with the walk being on totally flat ground.
The hosts were an absolute joy and nothing was ever a trouble to them.
If you are staying in Oban give this great Guest House a try and I can assure you that you will not be disappointed.

Great Guest House

it was me and my daughters first time at this guesthouse and i can assure you it wont be the last. Room was excellent very clean and comfy. views are spectacular as right on water front. The owner Iona was so nice and helpful and lots of little extras at front door.i wish we had booked for longer. my daughter and i will be back in near future. Would highly recommend this guest house but book early not to be dissapointed. I can assure everyone you will be like us and keep returning

experience i will never forget

Loved our 2 night stay here. As mentioned in other reviews, Room #1 has that stunning sitting area and view thru beautiful windows facing the water. Very comfortable. Relatively short walk into town, if you're a walker. Host was experiencing some medical/hospital issues so normal breakfast wasn't available at that time but they provided a number of quick munchy items as a fill in.  Nice deck out front with chairs. Our first night, we just sat out there with wine and cheese and watched the sun set. Beautiful!

Lovely place and great location

We were in room #1 and what a view.  We had two very comfortable chairs that we sat in as we looked right out at the harbor.  The room was very clean and the beds comfortable.  Parking was right in front of the guest house, very convenient. WiFi was very good.   Iona was the perfect hostess.  She was having some health issues and was not serving breakfast while we were there.  However, she did have oatmeal cups, pastry, granola bars and juice in the room that we could eat for breakfast.  Location is excellent.  Easy walk into town. Having the esplanade right across the street, made for some lovely evening walks.  

Great view of the harbor

Iona transformed a travel disaster into a delightful visit.  

Clean, updated rooms situated directly across from the sea.  Quiet and comfortable.  Clean linens, superior beds, and bedding.  Ideal place to have a glass of wine and watch the sunset over the water.
It's a £5 taxi to the busy part of town and ferry terminal.

We had difficulties with the booking through our agent.  Iona went above and beyond to rectify the situation.  Many thanks for your personal service and a wonderful  stay.  We will return!

Delightful place

There's always that little hidden gems that you happen to stumble upon without even knowing. Places that you can walk by and observe from a distance. In many cases you walk by, admire from a far, take a picture and move on. Well, this wasn't the case. Mackays Guest House, right in the heart of Oban picturesque waterfront. A beautiful property run by Iona Mackechnie who was the sweetest and loving soul. A warm Scottish smile greeted us upon arrival. Checking in was quite a breeze. 

Once inside, the foyer with its soothing calm beachy vibe and tartan pattern. Beautiful cool tones on the walls and throughout the property. We had room number 1 which was one of the ones downstairs. Once you walk in, it's pretty massive and spacious. Modern vibe with its cleans line and cool color palettes perfectly suitable for the sea. Nice comfortable bed awaits you as well as two plush comfortable sling back chairs with the million dollar view of the waterfront. Heater fireplace in front of the bed for those chilly nights which is a given. As well as the flatscreen television above. You also have your en-suite which is nice as a lot of places don't offer them. It's pretty spacious with plenty of room for sharing. Walk in shower, all your toiletries offered. To top it off, the warm Scottish welcome of their traditional drink the irn-brn soda and tea cakes were on the dresser. What a sweet little welcome treat. 

Location is just minutes from the beach. Walking distance from the main town where plenty of restaurants and shops are. The ferry and train station. There's parking available right in front but based on first come. Street parking also available along the front but not quite sure what the restrictions are. Mackays Guest House is a must if you're looking for a quaint weekend getaway or
for a longer stay for that nice R&R break. Perfect location, friendly face, beautiful view of the waterfront, minutes from town and restaurant. An overall amazing experience. Highly recommend.

American in Oban

My husband and I stayed in this stunningly beautiful B & B for our 1st night before moving on to Ullapool the next day. We had the most beautiful room with fabulous views overlooking The Bay of Oban!! The beautiful touches in the room were absolutely gorgeous. You can tell as soon as you walk into Mackay's it is the most beautifully kept place, just immaculate!! Our room was huge even though it was described as a large double. The lady who owns the hotel has the most gorgeous name of Iona, doesn't do cooked breakfast but if requested she will make up a little wooden hamper with warm pastries, yoghurts fresh fruit and a percolator with fresh ground coffee. I am not a fan of a cooked breakfast breakfast so this little hamper was just perfect. If you are going to Oban and looking for somewhere where you definitely not be disappointed, please give Mackay's B & B a try it is an absolute gem. My husband and I will definitely stay here again next time we travel to Oban. Thank You so much Iona for your hospitality. ☺️☺️
