It was a very cozy, clean, and well appointed room. Nice little touches like snacks, soft drinks, juice, milk, yogourt, and cereal left for guests.

Place was clean and the host was super kind. A bit of an uphill walk if youre coming from the town but it is really close to a lovely viewpoint that overlooks the town. Very nice at sunset!

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

Great quick stay

Excellent short stay as we prepare to take the ferry to Mull. Great proximity to Oban, up on the hill above the town, so quiet and peaceful. Incredible view facing west from the car park! Lovely stay in a clean and comfy room.

Ian, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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 !

Great guest house

Lovely guest out, some great complimentary snacks, very good welcome by friendly host. Up a steep hill in Oban but not far to walk down to pier, shops etc

The Don Muir guest house is very quiet, and quite comfortable. I would recommend a small table in the room.

Great spot in Oban

A very well set up room for us, for a last minute pick in Oban. Though not large, everything we needed was there, working, and comfy and quiet. We recc the Oban Inn, along the far edge of town near the waterfront, for great food and atmosphere. And the live caeli (sp?) music was really good.
David, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

My husband and I have been traveling Scotland for our honeymoon. We found this guest house when looking for places to stay on our travels. We absolutely LOVED it. Our host, Caroline was wonderful and welcoming. Could not have asked for a better host. Our room was clean, and spacious. We had some cereal, snacks, milk, and orange juice in our room. There was also tea and coffee provided. We were extremely close to town and parking was super easy and close. We will definitely be coming back when we are able to travel again.
Heather, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

On a hill with a great view. Accommodations were excellent. A bit difficult to find for someone not familiar with the area and non-numbered house addresses. Just ask for directions from one of the neighbors you’ll likely find walking their dog and you’ll be fine.
Harry, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Lovely place, host met us as we came in. Room was stalked with delicious goodies and fresh milk in fridge. A little tight to get to hotel but worth the drive up the mountain as the views are amazing. Convenient parking just up the road.
Leah, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.
Michelle, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

The fridge had some fruit juice and milk for hot drinks which was lovely. Even though it wasn't a b and b, the owner had thoughtfully put some breakfast items in the room which we appreciated as we had to be in the queue for the ferry to Coll at 6.15am.
Peter, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

A wonderful hidden location above Oban but really an easy walk down a steep road off Pulpit Hill to the back of the CalMac ferry dock. Just pay attention to passing cars.
Catherine, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We loved staying at Don Muir. Caroline was helpful, responsive and just a nice lady. Instructions were clear and she provided a nice little complimentary breakfast basket in our spotless room. Free parking is nearby, but you can unload and load right at her place.The walk to downtown Oban is about 15 minutes one way. We were happy to walk as parking in Oban was not great. Bed was very comfy and shower was great.
