"The Pearle Oban is right in the heart of the city...beautiful view overlooking the water. Accessible to all sights by walking and plenty of restaurants in the area. I am not sure why there is no outlet in the bathrooms; it does make it difficult to blow dry your hair...lol The staff was fabulous; held our luggage for a day while we took an overnight trip to Isle of Mull. Great breakfast spread that was included. Loved our stay in Scotland!"

"Our stay at the Inverarry Inn was very nice. The staff were great and so helpful. We had dinner and breakfast and thoroughly enjoyed both. We arrived in the bar early for dinner and enjoyed our pre-dinner drinks. There were vegan and gluten free options available. Parking included several charging stations so we were able to charge our car overnight. We are very happy we decided to stay there."

"I can't belive I stumbled upon this little gem of a spot! Due to multiple ferries getting canceled we had to last minute pivot 3 days of our trip, since we were unable to get over to Barra and back. It's not easy to find a hotel to accomodate 3 guests in one room in the UK so that was priority number 1! Let me tell you Matthew and the rest of the incredible staff... absolutley lovely! Crazy scenario upon our very late arrival and Matthew and Biscuit appeared out of nowhere to the rescue! It was pitch black out so we truly had no clue where we were, what the grounds looked like... just happy that we had showers and beds to sleep in. He helped us to our suite and got us all settled in. My only complaint... he wouldn't let us keep Busicut for the night. LOL Woke up to the most amazing views, over looking the loch, chickens free roaming and sunshine on our faces. It was alomost out of a movie it was so beautiful. Not only the room was amazing but the food! The food!! We will be thinking about the food for quite sometime. The freshly baked breads, the pickeled veggies, the chicken liver pate, our farm fresh eggs on toast the chef made specially for us. The Ben Cruachan Inn will be one of the best memories from an adventure of a lifetime! Thank you soo very much!!"
