Excellent room overlooking Oban Bay

Pros: Lovely sizeable room overlooking Oban bay with great bay window to sit at looking over to Kerrera and back towards Oban Ferry Terminal. Good sized bathroom with nice walk in shower plus toiletries provided. Room had a small living area with table & chairs plus a fridge. Nice touch with complimentary Tunnocks tea cakes plus Irn Bru. In addition set of binoculars provided which we made good use of to check out all the nice views from the room.

Cons: Don't feel there was anything missing

Alastair 8/10
United Kingdom 🇬🇧

Pros: It was effectively self catering accommodation. This suited us as we like the independence. Right on the esplanade with awesome views over the harbour and main channel.

Cons: Not that we didn't like anything, but due to health reasons of the proprietors, there was no proper breakfast included. The refrigerator in the room enabled us to purchase our own provisions so it wasn't an issue.

Go & visit Oban

Pros: It was a lovely place to stay for 3 nights. Clean and tidy. Bed was comfy. Very welcoming. Oban is a lovely place to visit. You forget all your troubles and enjoy the beautiful scenery. People are friendly. Most enjoyable experience.

Cons: I can honestly say I don't have any faults.

Weekend break

Pros: My husband and I have stayed here a few times. Rooms have stunning views. Attention to detail is amazing. Plenty tea, coffee,etc also sherry , yoghurts, cereals, Irn Bru and tunnocks teacakes. Loads of wee treats. The bed is super comfy. We didn't see the owners but they are on site and kept in touch prior to checking in. I would highly recommend 🤗

Cons: The only thing was the noise of the fridge during the night, kicking on and off. I didn't get a great sleep. I am a light sleeper so might not bother other people. Wouldn't stop me going back.

Tina 9/10

Absolutely loved it, nice and quiet, chilled and close to amenities.

Pros: We loved the little touches: Irn Bru and tea cakes Fruit and crisps at door The view was lovely Free car parking Close walk to boat/shops Rooms clean and replenished Fridge in room Spacious room Binoculars to look out at the water General decor lovely

Cons: Ice bucket wasn't on No one to greet you to say hello (there was a phone number but didnt want to bother anyone). Breakfast facilities were fine (porridge pots, breakfast bars and yogurt) but it would be better to get a cooked breakfast included or partner up with another company/cafe/hotel to go for breakfast.
