Delightful, quiet, and cost effect accommodation in a great location! Bethany greeted us warmly explaining the hostel-like kitchen facilities and later served us a pint in the adjoining pub. Very clean room with comfy beds. Convenient parking and walking distance to everything.

We had two bedrooms each with an ensuite. Very comfortable and clean. Great views of the harbour. No lifts so be prepared to carry your bags. Quiet rooms. Great select breakfast items in shared kitchen. Would stay again. Located right on the harbour. Easy walk to everywhere.

Fair priced accommodation in a good location. The large room had magnificent sea views, with a well appointed bathroom and great bed. The “shared kitchen” downstairs was clean and very well equipped. |The staff are most welcoming with Markie Dan serving splendid pub grub.

I needed somewhere for one night between leaving the ship and boarding the train to Crianlarich to join the sleeper. Two days of decompression time. On the map Corran House appeared to be quite some distance from the town centre. …

For a guest house, this place was great! We had a room above the bar, so there was a little noise, but not bad. The windows were surprisingly well insulated for noise! It was a little warm during our stay, so a fan would have been nice to have in the room, but not bad. The only complaint really was that there was no hot water for the shower, so that was a bit rough. Restaurant downstairs was also great! Nice location and cheap, convenient parking. Overall great stay!

We were staying with a large group (40 people) and the staff couldn't have been more helpful, from making sure that everyone had a suitable room, taking extra care to make sure that those who wanted a quieter space were able to stay further …

Fantastic value for money. We had a seaview room and use of the communal kitchen. The bed was comfortable and the shower was hot. Staff were friendly and helpful. We requested a room on a lower floor, which was granted. Will definitely stay there again.

Such a beautiful place to stay. The place is very clean, modern, and pretty. We enjoyed having the kitchen available, as well as a lounge room to spend time in. The staff we interacted with were very polite and helpful.Our room was spacious, had a nice view, and was clean. We liked having the sink in the room for brushing teeth and washing our hands. Each bed had a towel set and a treat on it which was a nice touch. We didn't hear any other guest while we were in the room, so it seems fairly sound proof. The only noise we heard was from bar patrons through our open window. With the window shut it wasn't bothersome.The shared bathroom is shared with only 2 rooms, so your room and one other. It was a pretty big bathroom which was very modern and clean.
