The place was very clean and nice. there was a problem with the king mattress. It felt like a bar was in the upper portion so we had to sleep in the other bedroom. But location was great.

Comfortable Hotel Near Oban Harbor

The room was clean and comfortable. The bathroom was lovely, and the towels were nice and fluffy. It was close to the harbor and restaurants. There were two coffee makers (Nespresso and Nescafé), bottled water, and chocolates in the room. We did not choose the breakfast because we prefer going to restaurants. Overall, this was the nicest 3-star hotel of our two-week stay in Scotland. Highly recommend if you are in Oban.

Wonderful hotel in a great location. Staff we spoke to were so lovely and friendly. We stayed in one of the rooms that is separate to the main property, and it was very well equipped and spacious. So clean and very peaceful. Would definitely stay again.
