The food was excellent particularly for a Seafood fanatic. The only thing the chef should consider is adding a seafood soup. Everything else is 5 star.

The staff were friendly and welcoming, lots of conversation and humour. The food was good, we tried a few different options. The avocado and poached egg on sourdough was delicious and the pastries were fresh and so good. We had a classic double room on the ground floor. Plenty of space for the 2 of us, the shower was fab and toiletries were very refreshing. We had the best 2 nights sleep. The bed was huge and very comfy. The tea, coffee, hot chocolate and goodies were a perfect treat with 2 days of travelling and exploring. What a view while we enjoyed our drinks from the bar. Oban was such a lovely place and we wouldn't hesitate to book here again on return.

Property fine, staff generally good. Expensive. Room had marks all over floor ( needs vax) parking facilities poor. £4.50 for 1/2 cup of coffee is not good value. Rooms are too full of chairs etc , not required. Obviously throw to back of hotel to make room for Americans so they spend more .

The lift was not functioning but stay did bring bags to the room. A challenge with older hotel infrastructure is that many many step are required to get to a room. No lift meant 40 steps up and 40 steps down.
