Reviews and Ratings
I was amazed by the breathtaking views from my room, offering both a lovely seating area by the window and a breakfast table with a view over the water. The service was top-notch, with the owner providing personal and friendly assistance promptly. The location on Oban's seafront at the narrow end of the sound of Kerrera was simply stunning. However, the dining experience was lacking variety and freshness. The hotel is in desperate need of refurbishment, which is a significant downside.
