Bed & Breakfast in Argyll
Welcome to Barriemore Guest House, Bed & Breakfast in Argyll. The Barriemore Guest House is a splendid example of a Victorian 3 storey town house, situated by the water on Oban’s sea front. It is as close as you can get to the narrow shipping channel which passes along side the patio at the front of our building.
Oban is famous for its local landmark McCaig’s Tower (Coliseum), which was built by John S McCaig. He also built the Barriemore. All rooms are ensuite and beautifully furnished and have all the hospitality items you would expect from this exceptional 4* guest house.
Because their prices are realistic & sensible, guest houses like the Barriemore and Glenrigh offer far greater value for accommodation than most of the larger provincial hotels without compromising in quality of fabric, service & freedom of choice.
Nowadays guest houses (4* Visit Scotland grade) have overtaken & surpassed many of the expensive bigger hotels in all departments as well as location.
The inside and outside appearances are sharper and better tended and offer genuine friendliness & attention to detail, with freedom to come and go as you please. The bedrooms are almost certainly furnished to a higher individual standard and the high quality choice of breakfast beautifully presented is above expectations.
Guest houses generally do not offer dinner, but this is no longer a problem. There are many high quality eating places and award winning restaurants in the area. Get out and about and enjoy a nightly epicurean experience at a different location, the saving in your accommodation will probably pay for the meal.
We have 2 elegant ground floor suites overlooking Oban Bay, while the remaining large & spacious bedrooms (with king size beds as standard) either overlook the water or local woodland.
Free internet access (wi fi) is available for all our guests.
The Barriemore Guest House is ‘Biker Friendly’

Location:
Mull FerryThe town centre is a delightful short walk along the sea front, or you can spend your day on the terrace with a cold drink, or enjoy afternoon tea taking in the magnificent views of the bay. The large ships & ferries pass so close you almost think you could reach out and touch them. In the evening watch the sun go down in breath taking colour over Oban Bay & the mountains beyond.
The Barriemore has the best location in the area and is recognised for its well presented large individual bedrooms, comfort and style. Staff work hard to maintain our valuable reputation & will do their best to exceed your individual needs & expectations during your stay, which is not always possible in larger hotels.
