    Check-in at 4pm. This was 2 1/4 hours after the train arrived.

    The hosts were lovely and welcoming and helpful when needed. Beautiful, peaceful location.

    Would have liked some long life milk for tea as no fridge.

    Clean, comfortable and value for money. Great having breakfast included. Jacinta who served our breakfast, was helpful and friendly.

    The only inconvenient thing is the location, because Oban does not have consistent sidewalks, but that is not something within the control of the owners. It is also near a bus stop and possible to walk into town, so as long as a person is prepared for it, this isn't that much of a problem.

    The owners are extremely kind and understanding, and the house is charming. There is light breakfast every morning in a front room with a bookshelf, there is tea and coffee in the rooms, and the rooms have plenty of space for things not to feel crowded. What really makes it stand out is the owners, who went above and beyond for me during my stay, allowing me to keep my backpack in the house during a week-long trip and bringing it to me when I returned. They made my stay so pleasant and planning for that trip so easy that I would definitely stay there again if I were to go back.

    There's nothing really that I didn't like. The parking situation is a bit awkward, but only because its quite a narrow track to turn round on and late at night there's no lighting which makes it a little trickier, but it's great to have parking on site.

    Elderslie is situated in a beautiful part of Oban just on the outskirts. It's surrounded by trees and a picturesque view and very quiet. It's about a 25 minute walking distance to the town centre which is perfect. The couple who own it are really lovely, so friendly and can't do enough for you. Also, unlike some places in Oban, they don't lock you out after a certain time at night, so you can come and go as you please. My room was beautifully decorated and well presented, very clean.

    There was nothing we didn't like

    Jocinta was really welcoming despite us turning up two hours early. Our room was big and bright and clean with wonderful views of the countryside. The shower was amazing. Breakfast was great, not too heavy, with a good choice of boiled eggs, toast, cereal, pastries etc. The dining room is bright with the same great view. Oat milk was provided. We were able to sit in the dining room to eat supper and plates and cutlery were provided.
