Lovely spot for 1 night
Smooth check in, friendly staff. Room as described, small, v clean and functional for our 1 night stay. Good WiFi. Immediately above the pub, no noise during the night, granted no live band on but still a lively pub. Parking at the end of row on building - pay & display.

It might have been good to know about the bar but because we were on top level it was not unreasonably loud. It’s a good thing I have a good heart for a 78 year old because that’s a lot of steps to carry my luggage. Thanks to the girl who carried it up for me.

Lovely old building with heaps of character, located right on the waterfront. Our room had excellent views of Oban harbour. The shared kitchen was fantastic - spacious, clean and very well-equipped. The staff were fabulous - friendly, welcoming and helpful

Decent budget accommodation
This is budget accommodation, but done well, with friendly service. Room was spacious and clean with a good bathroom. Sits above a busy bar, but on the 3rd floor we heard nothing when we went off to bed.

The noisiest least restful night spent in any guesthouse ever. The earplugs in a bowl at reception should have been a warning sign. We were stopping off after our late ferry, aiming to rest overnight before driving home the next morning. A lovely room. Clean, well appointed, and great kitchen facilities. We discovered early evening that we were above a bar and there was a live rock band on. We had been given no warning that we may experience any disturbance. They played loudly till 2:30am. I could still hear their lyrics with the guesthouse earplugs in. It must be said that their drummer was effective… We all got about 4 hours sleep and would have been better driving through the night. We won’t be staying again despite the brilliant facilities and staff.

Thank you for your kind words in regards to our staff and facilities we offer. Were sorry you did not get a restful night sleep and the ear plugs provided didn't serve you well. We do let guests know in our confirmation emails to contact us if they would like to request a quieter room however when booking the room above the pub specifically, thats going to be hard to avoid.If you do find yourself back in oban and decide to stay again - speak to our reception team at the time of booking and we can allocate you a room away from the noise.

Nice place, recommend
The room was very clean, the only issue was the noise. We were on the second floor and not directly over the pub but it was still quite loud until about 2.30am although they provide earplugs at reception. I recommend having white noise or something to help, we put white noise on the second night and had a brilliant sleep. There was an event on so it may not always be like that. Everything was clean and comfy though, so very good value for money!

I've stayed twice now at the Corran House and am a fan of the property overall. It's a good value and I like the shared kitchen. The rooms are nice for the price. One issue I ran into this time is that there is a pub with live music below the hotel. I was at the hotel on a Saturday night and the music kept going until 1 AM. I was on the 1st floor (or 2nd floor depending on where you're from) and could hear it well but the other half of my party 1 floor up couldn't hear the music at all.
