It’s nothing fancy but very clean and comfortable. Staff are friendly and helpful. It’s only about a 20 minute drive from Oban. The restaurant attached to the hotel is very good - food was delicious - recommend you make a reservation for dinner. They do have a restaurant but we much preferred the atmosphere in the pub.

I always stay here when I’m working in the Oban area. The rooms are clean and tidy, especially the new rooms with the terrace or balcony, lovely for a sit down in the evening sun with a glass of wine. The food in the bar is always tasty with good sized portions with a good selection on beers and wines. Breakfast is top quality too. Most importantly, the staff have always been brilliant here, always polite with time to spend with you for a wee chat and service is always prompt. I will continue to stay at this property when I’m in the area.

Bedroom was tiny and below car park level. Noisy extractor from kitchen. Booked an economy dog room so didn't expect much. The bed was comfortable. Breakfast was terrible however. Sounded good on menu but bacon only half cooked and most items were barely warm, not helped by serving on a cold plate. My husbands's scrambled egg was bright orange! Reconstituted egg?? Will not stay again

A nice hotel adjacent to the main road by Connell Bridge. We had room 8, which was a sea view room without a balcony. The room was very nice. All was very clean and looked new. The shower was excellent. A negative point is that the sun shines into the hotel all afternoon, so our room was extremely hot. The single window opens about 3 inches only. They provide a small fan but this is very ineffective. They should shut the blinds before guests arrive in sunny weather. We arrived about 5pm. Car park is around the back of the hotel so you have to wheel your cases over the gravel car park, around the side and into the front of the hotel facing the sea. This proved to be quite tricky. There was no one at reception and we had to wait about 5 minutes for someone to arrive. We had our evening meal in the bar, which was nicely decorated. Wife had fish and chips and I had chicken curry. The meals were below average. Her fish was mostly batter, which was very hard and crisp, had very little fish in it - see photo - and the chips were hard. My curry was OK as a meal, but it was completely devoid of ANY curry flavouring! We also had cooked breakfast the next morning, which was average. However, the view both from the hotel and from our room out over the sea was absolutely wonderful, especially the sunset.

What a good find, only a one night stay but longer would be better. Great service, lovely food, fantastic views. I’ll be back with wife and the dogs. This area needs exploring. They actually know how to serve Guinness - always a bonus.
