Had a lovely two night stay in the hotel. Nice to be in a family atmosphere instead of big named hotels. Staff were so helpful and nice. Pool, hot tub e.t.c. was very nice! Am really looking forward to coming back. Our room had a lovely seaview and very comfy beds. Thank you so much see you again soon! More

First time to Oban but we will be staying somewhere else next time. Decor and furniture very old. Bathroom and shower outdated. The... More

Stayed for 1 night on the way to Mull, while I know the whole of Oban is in something of a time warp this place took it to the extreme. Positives...comfortable bed, great view, cheap, take dogs. Staff unobtrusive but friendly when approached, Breakfast acceptable if a little slow. Negatives..both inside and out the place is SO dated and has... More

Stayed there for one night of an intended 3 night stay at a family event in Oban. Slept on a friend's floor as it offered more comfortable accommodation. Under no circumstances stay in the room opposite the cathedral unless you love campanology.... That is even if they have fixed the central heating and the 'window that never closes'.... The rest...

...though you could get the same view from one of the better hotels along the front! We stayed at this hotel in September for my friend’s hen night; it was only the hotel who could offer accommodation for a party of 27. Check in was pretty slow and there was a mix up with some of the rooms but as... More

This is the third year running we have stayed in this hotel when up in the Oban area for a long weekend fishing. Some people have stated that the hotel did not offer good value. We paid £100 per head for 3 nights (Fri, Sat, Sun) in peak season for bed and breakfast which I thought was very reasonable. Yes... More

This hotel is charging 4 star prices for one star accomodation. Rooms dirty mattress protector stained. Fire doors blocked open. carpets torn. Rooms covered in nicotene. Furniture old and tired. Unable to stay due to this, spent one day of my holiday trying to sort out alternative accomodation. For this was asked to pay one nights money for two people.... More
