The Old Manse Guest House
Guesthouse
Overview
Holiday Which? Lonely Planet and Rough Guide recommended.
Set in a prominent position yet only minutes walk from town, The Old Manse is a victorian villa with stunning sea views over Oban Bay to Mull. Landscaped gardens provide a haven for guests to relax and take in the views. Private, off road parking for all.
Freshly cooked breakfast from a varied menu, including full Scottish, haddock scramble and delicious pancakes. We are happy to cater for all special dietary requirements or preferences with some advance warning. Too tired to eat out? Fancy a quiet night in? We now provide an in-room service of homecooked suppers or freshly made soup and sandwiches; available to pre-order.
Family suite, Twin and Kingsize room available, all en-suite. Beautifully appointed rooms with lots of little "extras" provided. Free Wi-fi is available in public areas and also in most of the rooms. All major credit credit cards accepted except Amex. We have free walks and scenic drives sheets here based on our own favourites in the area so you don't have to worry about how to fill your time.
Your hosts Anna and Simon are happy to advise or arrange activities in advance of your arrival to help you make the most of your stay.
