「A bit old and dingy and cramped, but clean. There was no info sheet in the room so difficult to find the WiFi password. Not very private and quiet as it was more like an Inn with a number of other guests in adjacent rooms that one could hear.
The owner met me at the door which was a nice touch. Parking was great. Price for a quick one night stop and early morning start was about right.」

It was a bit weird sleeping in bunk beds in my 50s, but the mattress was good, and the room temperature was controllable, which I much appreciated (I like a cool room), and the bathroom was nice.

「Struttura moderna, pulitissima, camera ampia con tutti i servizi tra cui bollitore e frigorifero. Ottima la colazione preparata dalla proprietaria. Unica pecca: organizzatevi per la cena perché vicino non c’è nulla.」
「The room was close to everything we needed, including the ferry terminal for the trip to Iona. Oban is a great place to visit and our room at Raniven was a gem. Off street parking so close to the harbour is permitted and we had that.
The room was spacious and the bed was very comfortable.」
