Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Corran House Guest House enjoys a superb location, within walking distance of shops and restaurants and about 20 minutes on foot from Dunollie Castle. Many guests appreciate the option of having food and drinks at the cozy bar downstairs, and the availability of a well-equipped communal kitchen with large fridges is a plus for preparing meals. Some rooms offer amazing views over the harbour and islands, and while the pressure in the shower has been noted as weak by some, many find the rooms clean and comfortable. You can enjoy self-service breakfast.

adequate stay, but expect noise

loud music vibrating beds
the location suited me well. it was close to the venue i needed to be at.
the noise was a real issue for me. loud music from the pub downstairs continued until late. the music made the beds vibrate until the pub closed at 1 am.

communal kitchen excellent view easy parking adjacent building dribble of water low pressure wobbly bed breakfast cost
The communal kitchen was well equipped. I found it fabulous! It had excellent views across the bay. Easy parking was directly adjacent to the building. It cost £1 per hour between 9 am and 6 pm.
The shower had only a dribble of water, barely enough to wash. That was unfortunate. The bed was a bit wobbly and the breakfast was not included. I didn't like that.

communal kitchen continental breakfast council carpark
The communal kitchen had good layout. It includes anything you could wish for. Provisions are available for a continental breakfast, it is self-service. Parking is near the accommodation in a council carpark.
The room was very close to the pub, so there was some music audible.
