This is a waterfront property. We had a room with a private bathroom and the view of the loch. Gorgeous picture to wake up to. Bar downstairs did not bother us at all even we slept with open windows ( no air conditioning). Room was clean and bigger than in some European hotels we stay. Staff is friendly. The communal kitchen downstairs has refrigerators for guests and fully equipped. Also it is fridge with a food you can buy. The only negative experience is someone decided to smoke at 5 am right under our window (front door of the house) and smoke went directly to our room. But I can’t blame hotel for it.

Very enjoyable stay

My wife and i atayed 1 night at this hotel and we enjoyed our stay. The hotel itself is very central to Oban and we booked a room with a sea view and the room was spacious and had a lovely sea view. The room was very clean and tidy, and downstairs has a bar called Markie dans which serves good food & drink

One night stay on a road trip

The property is well located with an easy walk to everything. The rooms are clean and comfortable. Our only frustration was at check-in. My friend was not with us when I received the door code and did not know she needed one. The gentleman who checked us in was incredibly rude to her about this when she went to the main building to get the rest of her bags to bring them to our room in the building next door.

Corran House is a very basic establishment at the north end of the downtown. The rooms are average, but comfortable. There is no lift, so you'll have to carry luggage up to your room. We did not take the breakfast as it was priced ala carte for pretty standard packaged muffins and items and honestly, guests are asked to wash their own crockery and utensils. We went to a coffee shop in town. There are two adjoining buildings and we were not in the one over Markie Dans so no complaints about noise. The carpark is literally right next door to the buildings and only 1 pound per hour so very reasonable (and free after 6pm and before 9pm). we were able to walk along the esplanade or main shopping street in 10-15 minutes through the town with no problems, and it's a very pleasant walk.

I was very unhappy with my stay. The noise from the bar area. I was told noise from bar would stop at 1AM didn’t still till 2AM Access to kitchen for my 6 month old wasn’t available. And when asked a member of staff for access they was rude about it. We wasn’t told prior about limited access to the kitchen. Very uncomfortable and unprofessional did not feel welcome. I would like a refund due to the inconvenience and rudeness of staff. Please contact me back to resolve this matter.
