Had a lovely warm welcome at Don Muir for a 3 night stay, lovely large room with a comfy bed and everything we needed for our stay. Beautiful quiet location up the hill but near enough to get to everything Oban has to offer . Thank you for a lovely stay Russell and Lee

We loved our stay at this guesthouse. Our room and en-suite bathroom were very comfortable. Although the very reasonable room-rate was room only, we were very pleasantly surprised to find a small fridge in the room with fresh milk, fruit juice and yoghurts, plus a choice of cereals. Since there was also a kettle with tea etc., we really had everything we needed before heading out to explore lovely Oban in the morning. Caroline thought of everything. We knew we'd be arriving late, but she explained to us in advance how we could access our room directly without waking up the household at midnight! This was very convenient and took the stress out of our travel (not worrying about the train being late etc.). By the way, not having a car, we did wonder about the house being a little outside town, but this turned out to be an advantage - we loved the peacefulness and the beautiful views during the short 10-minute walk down into town. Of course we met Caroline the morning after our arrival and she was a lovely warm and helpful hostess.

This place is great! The innkeeper is super sweet and helpful. Parking is easy for a town that has very little free parking. It's a ten-minute walk to downtown. Great, cute room. No complaints. Would definitely stay here again.

The venue is up a gradual slope, being around a 10 minute walk from the town centre however the view of the harbour during the walk is beautiful. Being close to the pulpit hill viewpoint makes a nice trip being only a couple minutes walk from the venue. Carolyn was very welcoming and seeing me as a female sole traveler, made me feel very safe and gave me suggestions for the best places to visit. The bedroom was perfect and although it is a shared bathroom, which I was nervous about, this proved to be no problem at all. The cute little breakfast selection and variety of refreshments were just lovely. I’ll definitely return on my next trip to Oban !

This is a beautiful property and well worth a visit. Despite my train arriving after check-in, it was very easy to access my room. The room was a good size and very clean. The hostess is friendly and extremely accommodating. If you use public transportation, be aware that the property is near Pulpit Hill, so there is some steep walking. However, buses do serve this area, and you can get a taxi. I came to Scotland to hike, so the uphill walk was a welcome part of the trip. The house was less than 15 15-minute walk from the bus station, ferry, and city centre, so very convenient for tourists. I would highly recommend a stay at Don Muir House.

The proprietress, Caroline, was welcoming and helpful. She had thoughtfully provided snacks and breakfast foods / drinks for the room. The room was cozy, clean, and quiet. We had a beautiful view during our walk down to Oban town, caught a gorgeous sunset, and enjoyed dinner at the Oban Brasserie (in the Perle Oban hotel). Thank you for a lovely stay!

Caroline was an excellent host. She greeted me upon arrival and recommended things to do and places to visit on my stay here. The room was very tidy, had a heater and complimentary coffee, tea and some snacks for breakfast. Everything was well maintained and the views nearby of Oban were spectacular
