What a lovely setting to arrive in after a long day's drive! Up the hill from the town, with lovely vistas over the water towards the castle. The staff was incredibly accommodating, and took good care of all three of us. Delicious dinner, delicious breakfast, and lovely people to talk to everywhere we went - wouldn't hesitate to stay here... More

I stayed here overnight and had a lovely dinner in the restaurant. The cleanliness was excellent, both the public areas, room and bathrooms were spotless. The food was delicious, the waiting staff were polite and the meals were served very quickly. Overall, I would not hesitate to stay here again.

We stayed at the Manor House Hotel in Oban: You feel you are welcomed in a Victorian home, with a nice bar area overlooking the bay and the city; Nice garden. Allan the barman has very good advices on your stay, restaurants, itineraries, etc... Nice cozy lounge. The city is walking distance, and you can walk along the sea going... More

We actually stayed here for two nights in April and two in May. It was a pleasure, as always: comfortable room, great views, pleasant lounge with welcoming fire (the weather wasn't great this year), excellent food and very helpful, friendly staff. The Manor House is also an ideal place to stay when travelling to the Western Isles as it couldn't... More

My husband and I stayed here on 10 May 2013 to celebrate his 50th Birthday. From the minute we arrived we were made to feel welcome, the staff were very professional and friendly without being intrusive. We checked in and were shown where all the public rooms were and then to our bedroom which had a beautiful view out over... More

We visited the Manor House last night, being treated to a meal by friends. We were delighted to see the same outstanding service and food as previously. The staff greet you and make you instantly feel at home in the comfort of the gorgeous bar or lounge. You don't feel rushed to make choices and nothing seems to be too... More

A wonderful charming hotel, courteous service, wonderful views; could not fault it. Food was really delicious and plentiful!!! Rooms are cosy and comfortable. We thoroughly enjoyed our experience at this small but delightful hotel. This review could have been more concise were it not for the limits set by trip advisor .

My wife arranged a "surprise" 60th birthday dinner for me on the 9th of this month. The staff and management went out of their way to make this night very special. The food served to the 18 of us in the party was wonderful. Many thanks to all at the Manor House.

Ever since I started coming to this hotel for lunches almost 40 years ago now I have never been disappointed. The service and food was good then and it still is one of the most dependable places in Oban to visit. I have never stayed here but the position overlooking Oban Bay is second to none.

We stayed for one night on a mini tour of Scotland. This lovely, traditional hotel is nicely decorated and the staff are very friendly. We had a delicious 5 course evening meal at a very reasonable set price. We had a good night's sleep in a very comfortable bed with a view of the harbour from the window. Fruit, some... More
