Friendly clean and comfortable. Great breakfast, well set up guest lounge inclusive a small bar. Don't come down the hill from Oban too fast or you'll overshoot the driveway. The parking area can be a bit tight when full occupancy.
My Husband and I arrived an hour early however the owners showed us to our room which had a nice outlook. The room was compact however no complaints with adequate facilities and good shower.||The breakfast menu is excellent and cooked superbly by the owner.||Handy off street parking outside our room.
The bedroom was disappointing, mismatched ill-fitting furniture. The bathroom was damp and old fashioned. The hosts seemed uninterested in us and seemed glad when we left. The breakfast was ok, the porridge was very good, nice coffee and plenty of toast. You had to make a choice the night before which was irksome. Wouldn't go back.
Our recent stay was 2 nights - we'd returned from the Hebrides into Oban and had a daytrip to Mull.. this place ticked all the boxes, only 10-15minutes drive from central Oban but far enough out to avoid the "townage".||||Jon & Cherry were very welcoming, the rooms were well-furnished and breakfast exceptionally generous. One minor request on our first morning was accommodated intime for the second morning, so credit where it's due. Wasn't too fussed with the "Google Alexa" in the room which we unplugged, but I suppose it'll appeal to some people.
I rarely give a bad review but unfortunately have to write one for this establishment|The building is in need of TLC and perhaps some air fresheners as the odour emanating from|The corridors and bedrooms absolutely nauseating.|We were to feel very uncomfortable when we decided to consume our own beverage rather than purchase from the over stocked bar. It’s a guest house!!!!|The beds were comfortable but not sure it was the quality of the mattress or noxious smells which was that of dog, septic tank or both|To make it worse the prices charged were outrageous when compared with where we stayed the next night which was welcoming , clean and modern. Perhaps the owners should go and visit the competition|We call this place farty towers
Had booked an overnight stop to break the journey south and were delighted to find the reviews for Braeside were not exaggerated. Only a few minutes outside the bustle of Oban. Very warm welcome, great attention to detail (GF choccy biccies on the hospitality tray - gold star). Room not huge, but nicely decorated and immaculate. Effective shower and an exceptionally comfortable bed, which was very welcome after a week in a cottage with a very dodgy bathroom and mattress. Very good, and well presented local information and advice on places to visit. ||Refreshed from a great night's sleep we were presented with an excellent breakfast next morning. Shame about the weather - could barely see beyond the bushes, let alone the squirrels etc that come around the house. Next time maybe!
Jon and Cherry were so welcoming you felt immediately at home. Rooms were great with large mugs and a teapot, biscuits and tablet. Had breakfast and dinner here both were excellent. Jon is very knowledgeable and told us where we could see seals. Penny the peahen is a character and you are minutes from town but with fabulous views from the dining room.
We were not impressed with our stay at this Bed and Breakfast. Towels in bathroom had not been replaced on daily basis. Bathroom was not cleaned daily and rubbish bins in bedroom not emptied. Also got smell of dog in reception area. Breakfast not served in dining room. Was delivered to outside bedroom in a takeaway bag and very disappointed that not full breakfast menu. I appreciate these difficult times but feel that if not able to provide a proper breakfast then perhaps should be offering room only. Bedroom was not hoovered during our stay
