Stayed for one night enroute to the ferry from Oban. Nice hotel overlooking Dunstaffage Marina and Castle. Friendly service from reception to bar and restaurant service. Rooms scrupulously clean and modern. Restaurant served an excellent value for money meal and breakfast.

Stayed here first weekend in March. Room excellent, stunning view on to the marina, large comfy bed. Bathroom immaculate, tea and coffee with kettle in room. Lovely welcome from the staff. Everyone so friendly and helpful. A wide range for breakfast, cooked to perfection by Eddie. Not far from Oban 3 miles in, a place to stay for a relaxing... More

Stayed 2 nights in super room with balcony overlooking marina and Dunstaffnage Bay, whilst working on my boat. Lovely, big cosy bed and plenty of room in the well kept en-suite, fitted with comfortable seating and table. Very good dinner and Scottish breakfast in the restaurant. Friendly, helpful staff. Look forward to staying again with my wife.

We stayed here for 2 nights and were surprised the accommodation is in cabins to the side of the restaurant. The cabins also look onto the gravel car park and were a stones throw from the A 85. The food was very good, we couldn't fault that and the wine menu was also good. The rooms were ok just a... More

Oban is so busy that this is a convenient place to stay. Rooms were comfortable but cold - asked for heating to be resolved but staff were unable or unwilling to do so. Food was excellent - the highlight of our stay really. This place could've been so much better but for a few minor details!

We stayed at the WMF twice in between visiting the islands. Our first room had a good view over the marina but broken tiles on the bathroom floor which lifted up as you walked on them, the second room was more spacious but one sheet on a tired mattress that you can feel the springs through is not satisfactory, neither...

The restaurant has a nice view over the marina. We started with a drink on the terrace and them moved inside for dinner. The food was good, but not by any means great. The restaurant is attractive, but the table are a little too close together. Main problem was the service. Initially everything was really rushed, which each course arriving... More

Stayed one night when taking the ferry to Mull, found the place was just what we needed. Clean room, friendly staff good choice on the menu. Don't be put off by first impression, like all good things, it's often better than skin deep. We'd use it again.

Had a nice experience here while travelling with a friend. We had a very large - long and narrow - room with two singles and a lounge area. Clean, modern, and nice views of the water. Dinner was also good. The staff were super friendly and helpful.
