The guy was very helpful and friendly he even helped us out with giving suggestions for dinner
The place was clean and the facilities worked fine I would stay again.
The room and place was sometimes showing its age and the mattress was a bit too soft for my personal comfort

Tony the man who owns and runs a good show was an excellent host. The breakfast was beyond what we expected for a Buffet. The facilities, room provided for breakfast was tremendous along with lots of nice homely quirks. The tea and coffee was great too. Tony makes a 100% effort to please his guests all the time. He is a mine of information of things local in Oban and surrounding areas. We will be going back there.

Location is great unless you are a type of person who does not like going uphill a little bit.
It has started bad from the very beginning. The entrance door was locked and I haven't given any instructions how to get in prior my arrival. So, I called the emergency number and was welcome by annoying host with the following response: "I am busy, I am with people". He provided the door code and room number and promised to call me back shortly. That was the last time I spoke to him. So, please provide the instructions in advance or make yourself available to your guests!
I could not find any rules or instructions upon entering the building. I assume, "do whatever you want" policy applies.
Beware that this guest house is not a 4-star hotel. Right at the entrance there is a clear sign that this hotel is 3-star hotel. In fact, it does not deserve even 3 stars.
Carpets in our room were dirty, bathroom's air exhaust was clogged and did not make any difference. Hairdryer was missing, liquid soap dispenser was empty. Really? Even motels have such basics. No one came to clean our room, nor replace towels during our 3 night stay, nor we were given an option to opt-in for such a service.
I am really puzzled by the recent reviews that praised breakfast. Cooked breakfast? There is no such a thing. This is a self-service buffet-style breakfast, not cooked. You have milk + cereals, juice, cheese, toasts, and if you want you can boil eggs yourself. Good luck cooling them down, since there is no kitchen sink in the kitchen. Ah, and the most annoying thing: there are no spare glasses in the kitchen. So, if you are a night owl, you may end up of having your table half-empty, no glasses, or knives, or no milk in the fridge...
I talked to another two couples who confirmed that they had exactly the same experience.
Now I wondering whether the property has changed owners or it resorted to paid reviews? I can't explain contradictions between my experience and what I read in the reviews prior booking it.

Everything! The beds were very comfortable and the breakfast was delicious. Tony, the host, was very helpful with suggestions and even let us keep the car in the parking lot while we explored Oban after check-out. The property was a 4-minute walk into the city centre, so we were close enough to all the sights yet still had a quiet night. I would recommend this property to anyone!

Greencourt was in a perfect location to easily reach all there is to do in Oban. The owner was friendly and really helpful over our very early morning breakfast options, it was much appreciated. The guest house was immaculately clean.
7.0
- wonderful localisation
- nice and helpful host
- I like the idea of a cosy guesthouse
- complete lack of space for personal stuff in bathroom, even not a single shelf. When you bath you have to hold your stuff in your hands
- loud rooms and visitors, noise in rooms was like living on the corridor
- poor breakfast

They say that people make places and this couldn't be more true to this host and his cosy BnB. Tony went out of his way to make me feel welcome and comfortable and even brought me and my backpacks by car to the bus station. Splendid service and homely atmosphere of his house!
Fresh and lovely cooked breakfast (full Scottish veggie) and a generous portion of creamy porridge - yumm! All served with a beautiful view over the Greencourt.
Tony is a wonderful host and is genuinely interested in his guests, their interests and well-being and is always up for a chat - how lovely! Will definitely return!
Oban itself is a fantastic little seaside town - I spent the best parts of my holiday here and loved every second of it. Please enjoy the sunset from McCaig's Tower and embark on the Three Isles Tour (Mull - Iona - Staffa) offered by West Coast Tours on a clear and sunny day. On a dreich day I recommend you to do the Whisky tour at Oban Distillery (book in advance!) and to round the day off with dinner at Cuan Mor and an evening walk along the harbour before cosying up at Greencourt Guest House.

how can such a house, have a 9.x rating at Booking.com?! Compare with other accommodations during our trip, this was by far the worst choice. And because it's from the substance too old, it isn't the new owner.

Greencourt is extremely clean and well appointed, it's spotless. Michael and Joanie are both very pleasant and welcoming.
The breakfast in the bucket. You need to stop that now guys. I've spent the last month travelling round Scotland and you're the only place using Covid as an excuse not to provide a proper breakfast menu. You've got a lounge room that was never used whilst I was there but where people could congregate.

Location.Rooms were comfortable and clean
Didn't like the breakfast in a bucket left at the door. We should of been notified before our trip that there was not going to be a full breakfast offered. Or a slight reduction in the rate which we were charged. No excuse as the next 2 guest houses offered us freshly cooked breakfast and more. Both in Scotland.
