Central Oban stay

Great place to stay in Oban with safe parking for motorbikes. Very short walk to the centre of town. Very comfy bed, kitchen well stocked with equipment needed. Only down side was the sofa looks great but is not the most comfortable.

Average - good sized room, very small bathroom (sitting on toilet and legs hit sink), and staying two days on with two people & provided one small bottle of body wash & shampoo. Heat didnā€™t work in room, and slow response to queries. Location good, but limited parking. Would look for alternatives before going again.

Comfortable Stay

A comfortable room with a spotless bathroom. Clear and accurate instructions about entry and we had off-street car parking. In Room 2 there was one chair and no desk. A warm and cosy room. Ours was a three night stay.
