Positive Reviews
positive:
Wonderful central location in Oban
Along with offering beautiful views of the bay, the Sutherland House's location was ideal for those visiting attractions in Olan - many of which, such as McCaig's Tower and the Oban Distillery, are within walking distance. In addition, its close proximity to ferry and train transport links will come as a welcome bonus if you are going to use such services.
positive:
Friendly hosts a wealth of knowledge
The customer service skills of the guest house's hosts were a particular highlight for many former visitors. Along with a warm and welcoming attitude, the hosts are said to be extremely knowledgeable about the local area, and are always happy to recommend a nearby restaurant or attraction if you require such assistance.
positive:
Spotless and comfy rooms
For most past guests, the rooms at the Sutherland House were flawless. As well as apparently possessing very comfortable beds, the cleanliness of the accommodations was typically regarded as immaculate.
Negative Reviews
negative:
No on-site parking on offer
The lack of on-site parking was, understandably, an inconvenience for those that travelled in their own vehicle to the Sutherland House. With that said, both paid and free public parking options are relatively close to the guest house based on past feedback.
negative:
Breakfast not inclusive
Although its quality and variety was rarely questioned, one aspect about the breakfast proved to be bothersome for some previous guests: it is not inclusive with the standard price of staying at the accommodation.
negative:
Simple but ideal accommodation choice
Whilst it is essentially a no-thrills option that provides little in the way of public amenities, this has not stopped the large majority from recommending and posting glowing reviews about the Sutherland House.
