Very comfortable and quiet. We were on the top floor and need to walk stairs. Not an issue for us, though. The breakfast is very good with variety of options. Good location in town. Lovely place and would recommend.

Easy parking and a lovely welcome kicked things off well for our one night stopover in Oban. Our room (no.1, ground floor) was pleasant enough, clean and reasonably spacious, (although judging by the photos posted by other guests, some rooms are considerably larger). I enjoyed the Irn Bru provided on the hospitality tray! The breakfast was continental style, with an extensive range of options. All fine, although I expect some guests might like the option of something cooked. Our stay was slightly marred by the lack of hot water in the morning, preventing us from taking showers. Apparently boiler issues was the cause - difficult to get fixed on a Sunday morning. In all fairness we were somewhat recompensed; little other option available. Conveniently sited, and I would have no issue staying here again.…

Beautiful place!! Lovely people. Everything was perfect. Room 8 is right up top with a gorgeous view. The continental breakfast was lavish and delicious, but we would definitely stay here even without the breakfast. Can't wait to come again!

We had a very nice room with a view of the waterfront. The room was a nice size and the bathroom, which was en suite, was private and roomy. The house is about a 5 minute walk to the shops and restaurants. Our hosts were friendly and helpful.

Brilliant location on seafront at Oban. Views over Oban and Isle of Kerrera. We booked a premium room at front of hotel. Room was fantastic. Huge bay window with 2 large seats to enjoy the view with a sundowner each evening. Room itself was massive with excellent bathroom with freestanding bath and separate shower. 4 poster emperor sized bed as well. Nice touches such as a pair of binoculars in drawer to enjoy views. Good continental breakfast provided as part of price. Ample car parking available. An excellent place to stay .

We were greeted by Patricia, our very friendly host. The room was charming yet updated with great views of the harbor. The bathroom was very modern and clean. Breakfast was ample with several cold options. I would love to stay here again!
