Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Blair Villa South enjoys a superb location, being just a short walk from Oban's centre, the railway station, and the ferry port. Many guests appreciated the availability of tea and coffee making facilities, along with a mini-fridge stocked with a breakfast bag containing juice, fruit and pastries. The views of the bay from some rooms are frequently mentioned as a highlight, although a few guests have noted that certain rooms are on the smaller side.

mixed feelings about the stay

cramped roombreakfast area

the room felt quite cramped. there was not a lot of space to eat the breakfast except on the bed. a dedicated breakfast area would be a definite improvement. the lack of space detracted from the overall experience
