What a delightful stay! The room came with a lovely spread of yogurt, juices, cheeses, and more, plus we got to enjoy fresh croissants, toast, and coffee with a fantastic view of the sea. The small table and chairs in the living/kitchen area were a nice touch. The location was just perfect, with breathtaking views overlooking the water and providing easy access to the town center for evening strolls. The dining experience, albeit taken in the room due to current rules, was top-notch with delicious options served by pleasant staff.

My stay at the hotel was simply wonderful. The premium rate for a sea view room was worth it, offering a stunning view of the sea. The location was ideal, close to Oban center but still quiet, and the staff even booked a table for us at a local restaurant. The dining, delivered to our room on trays, was wholesome and satisfying. The facilities were excellent, making my stay truly enjoyable.

I had a delightful stay at this hotel. The location is superb, right on the promenade and within easy walking distance of the charming center of Oban. The rooms are grand and comfortable, although lacking drawers, and the parking facilities are convenient. The service was top-notch, with friendly and helpful staff, including delivering breakfast to our room. The dining experience was delicious, with plenty of choices. On the downside, the room size could be improved, and it was a bit disappointing that there was an extra charge for breakfast.
