I spent two nights in the Oban Bay Hotel - it’s in a beautiful location overlooking the sea front which is ideal for watching all the ferries coming and going. The staff were all helpful and friendly with a good sense of humour. The breakfasts were excellent and the French toast, bacon and maple syrup with the addition of vanilla ice cream was certainly a first for me and surprisingly delicious!! I would happily return for another break in the future.

Short break

We really enjoyed our 2 day break in this hotel. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The hotel itself is lovely and spotlessly clean. The veiws from the lounge are beautiful. My only disappointment was the breakfast, everything else was perfect.

Upon returning to our room after a long day of viewing the beautiful sites of Mull and Iona we found the room had not been serviced. When we inquired we were told the "do not disturb" sign was on our door. It was not! We asked for a fresh supplys of coffees, etc. It took three trys to get it. The worst part was the staff was argumentative about the do not distrub sign. It put a damper on a beautiful day.

Fantastic hotel.

What a lovely hotel. Stayed for 2 nights to celebrate my brothers birthday. We used the thermal spa experience. Great to use the outside hot tub. Very friendly staff and personable staff. Great value for money. We're definitely going back. There's lots more to see. Thanks you to everyone who made our stay a memorable one
