"Quirky little hotel right in Oban. Staff are wonderful. Carpet etc a little tired and stairs can be a challenge. Some rooms have sloped ceiling in the bathroom which is a little awkward. All in all it was good but priced in a way that we expected more. Parking is at public parking lot a few hundred feet away. Super convenient to walk around Oban. Oban sits below a cliff so any hotels "with a view" will require much climbing."

"Everything was meticulously prepared and the greatest care was taken to make us feel comfortable and pampered. It is clear that the innkeeper puts the utmost love and thought into each and every detail, the bed was extremely comfortable and the amenities provided were top notch. Highly recommend a stay here and I wish we could have extended our stay beyond the one night we had here. Breakfast was delicious and we had many options. The view of the loch was breathtaking and within five minutes of arriving we saw a deer on the property. Can’t say enough wonderful things. Stay here! You will love it."
