Lovely setting just across from the water. The staff were lovely and very friendly. Food was great, bed was so comfortable and the hotel itself clean and modern. Very dog friendly, but check beforehand as only some of the rooms accommodate dogs, however they are all welcomed in the Gluepot bar where you can get a great selection of meals. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay there and would definitely recommend it.

The location and parking were good. Room was a little on the small side. Would have been nice to have some net curtains on the ground floor to give some privacy from vehicles and pedestrians walking past whilst still being able to enjoy the view from the room. No comfortable seating in public areas. Good choice of breakfast options.

The room was spacious & clean, the breakfast was good, however the bathroom smelled terrible (like urine), and there was no cabinet, shelving or counter top to store any bathroom toiletries.

Room was spotless and warm with powerful shower. Nice bar with bar food - The Gluepot. The breakfast was a good selection but some of the cooked breakfast items were a bit on the cold side. Got a really good deal last minute with Expedia and would definitely recommend for a stopover. About 5 miles outside of Oban in the village of Connel.
