Me and my partner stayed here for two nights last month and had a fantastic stay! Barry went out of his way to make us feel welcome and provided the best service. …

I have been staying at the Foxholes hotel since the current owner, Barry, first opened for business. Most of my major wedding anniversaries have been spent there, so it was no surprise to me when, on a quick visit in February. …

It has always been a dream of mine to stay in a real Bed & Breakfast. I grew up in the city so that idyllic fantasy of waking up in the countryside and sitting down to a nice breakfast served by kind folks was one of my life goals. …

My mum and me really really loved our stay here. The twin room was huge and had everything and more that we needed. We had dinner here too and both the food and the service was 5 star plus !! Outstanding quality and outstanding hospitality from Barry. Being a farmer and a bnb owner myself I can be very critical of my holiday accomodation and food, but I would highly recommend here, being just 5 mins from Oban town, but completely surrounded with beautiful countryside and both wild and farm animals, it was completely silent at night. Love it and will most definitely be back. Thank you Barry you are very very good at your job

We had stayed at Foxholes a couple of times before, when it had previous owners, so we were a bit worried as to how it would have changed. Didn't need to as it was even better than I remembered it.  …

Stayed at the Foxholes for 3 nights and it was just perfect.||The location is ideal for anyone that wants to get away from it all, but close enough to the town of Oban if you want a little bit more. …
