Top Scottish Highlands Hotel Reviews

Perle Oban Hotel & Spa

Perle Oban Hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"We had room 109 and it looked out over the water and the lively street but was very quiet. The shower was amazing as were the products. The coffee and tea and snacks were delicious. The bed was very comfy and the room was nice and dark! We didn’t get to explore the hotel at all since we were just there overnight but we would gladly stay there again if we are lucky enuf to return to Oban. What a great little town and a great hotel experience!"
