The Whisky Vaults

The Whisky Vaults

8/10 Good
"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."

"Un accueil chaleureux de la gérante Sarah, une chambre propre, tranquille et disposant de toutes les commodités, un petit-déjeuner extraordinaire avec choix variés de céréale et yogourts et fruits de même qu’un choix de laits chauds préparés à la demande. Nous avons également souper au récurant le Porcini, excellent. Un sans faute et nous recommandons absolument cet endroit. Petits plus : tout est à distance de arche de l’hôtel et le stationnement est disponible sur place.."

"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."
