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.

There isn't really a common area to hang out in, other than the breakfast room in the morning. And that is kept at a minimum as breakfast is served from 8-9am. Our room (Room 4) looked out at Oban Bay. Which was very nice. After returning from dinner in town - which is a short walk away - we just sat in front of the great bay window in our room, drank tea, read, and watched boats sail by. The room was rather large and nicely decorated. Not only did our room have the window sitting area, it also had a separate sitting area between the king size bed and bathroom. Parking is onsite and very easy. We would definitely stay here again. Breakfast in the

Great bed and breakfast…read more Room: spacious, homely, comfortable; with great bed (I like my sleep), and sink and great view. Location: if you like travelling and like your highlands, islands, and scenery, this is a must. Great location, easy to find. Gorgeous. Breakfast: WOW. Loved it. Quality and Quantity -- had both. Also the girlfriend had choice of fruits and cereals -- I went for full English. Landlords: great bunch, very friendly; welcoming and talkative, but also understand that as soon as you are in you want a shower and a cup of tea. We travelled by car -- plenty of spaces. Had loads of pubs and restaurants (I like my food). Landlord recommended great places for walks and leisure for girlfriend. Great trip. Great B+B.

No doubt one of their more 'cost effective' rooms but fine for us all the same. The staff are fabulous - attentive and always smiling and nothing is too much trouble. Breakfast is generous and really tasty with a cooked option full of local meaty goodies. The potato scone was good too! We only paid £54 for b&b which was a steal!

My husband and I stayed at The Cedars last month. The house is absolutely stunning inside and out…read more There is a lovely garden in the front and cozy places to sit and watch the world go by. The breakfasts were delicious and hearty enough to hold us until our evening meal. Our hosts, Ray, Jackie and Janice, went above and beyond to ensure we enjoyed our stay. They recommended restaurants and places to visit and went above and beyond to find someone I knew when I lived in Dunoon 45 years ago. Our second-floor room overlooked the Firth of Clyde, and the location of the house was perfect for seeing all the neighboring sites. We highly recommend this bed and breakfast.

Once found , we were very pleased to see parking - rare in Edinburgh. The rooms were well appointed , a little small, and at first extremely noisy. We were on the first floor and could hear the clomping of guests on the exposed wood stairs. The breakfast room was also very near our door and I was thinking there was to be no sleeping - but I was wrong. Somehow , magically , the noise didn't wake us - I am a very light sleeper too. Whatever the sound dynamic was in the place - I slept very comfortably and quietly. If we were going to be spending time in our rooms , I would have found the space restrictive but for a good nights rest , it was great. The only other thing I felt was a head scratcher was the bathroom mirror. Very space age, 3-D type design that completely did not go with the decor. The breakfast room was lovely and the food was very good. The hosts are happy to accommodate your every need. They had umbrellas for the rain and a very nifty call button that summoned a cab in under 10 minutes ! It's location is walkable to some things but since you could have your car on property , it's easy to drive anywhere you want to go within a few minutes. Come and stay and enjoy this cozy gem in the midst of busting Edinburgh.

The drawing room has Classic movies running on the TV with classic tunes played in the background. The dining room is elegant as are the place settings at every table; complete with lit candle. Breakfast is large gourmet and cooked to order including eggs poached, grilled, or scrambled, black pudding, haggis, sausage, potato scone, bacon, beans, ham and far more options. Specials are prepared on the weekends. This meal is so hardy you won't need lunch. Bedrooms are comfortable, clean, and beautifully appointed. The beds are as comfortable as any top tier hotel. The rooms can be blacked out for a very quiet deep long sleep. I slept better here then I have in months anywhere else. Good free high speed internet that is fast enough to stream video. Ross and Kathleen have created a charming experience that we will return to with every visit to Edinburgh.

The place is lovely, the room warm and comfortable and endowed with all the basics items and facilities that you would require. The hosts are adorable as well, always very kind; they made sure that I would be able to get to my room even though I arrived very late in the evening. They have been extraordinarily available during the booking process, since I got replies to my emails within few minutes. The place is well connected to both the city centre and the university by several buses lines passing very frequently. I'll definitely come back here if I will have another conference to attend in Edinburgh.
