Reviews and Ratings
The hotel was a bit disappointing with small, uncomfortable rooms but redeemed by welcoming and helpful service. The location was great for exploring the area, and the dining experience was acceptable.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The room was cozy and quaint with a huge spa bath, but some aspects felt old-fashioned and the bed wasn't the most comfortable. The service was fantastic, especially the friendly staff who went above and beyond. The location offered stunning views of the river with wildlife sightings, but improvements are needed in the payment system. The dining experience had its ups and downs, with a lovely dining room ambiance but some breakfast items left to be desired. The facilities were adequate, but there is room for enhancement in some areas.
I stayed at this hotel and thought it was a decent place overall. The rooms were clean, modern, and spacious, although a bit too warm for my liking. The service from the staff was friendly and attentive, but it was clear they were under pressure. The location was convenient for exploring Highland destinations but might require public transport or a car. The dining experience was good with a nice selection of food, though it could have been a bit better. The facilities were adequate with no standout features.
The hotel offers welcoming and clean rooms with beautiful views across the water, although they resemble many in Scotland. The location is exceptional, and the dining experience is delightful with a wide choice and lovely decor.
Our stay at the hotel was a bit of a mixed bag. The rooms were very spacious with a lovely view of the loch, but there was a foul smell that lingered. The service was top-notch, especially Marc the Bartender/groundskeeper, who was so friendly and accommodating. The location was convenient for exploring Oban and the surroundings, but walks and photography were somewhat limited. The dining experience was excellent, although it ended quite early, and the grilled dishes were a highlight. The facilities were clean and comfortable, with a nice bistro onsite.
The hotel offers comfortable rooms, but they can feel a bit cramped, especially for moving around. The warmth at night could be improved with a stronger fan. Despite the small size, the rooms are styled thoughtfully and provide a cozy atmosphere. The service is top-notch, with very friendly and accommodating staff, particularly in the dining area. The location is great for those who prefer a Victorian-style decor and beautiful water views, though it may require public transport or a car for convenient travel. The dining quality varies, with some enjoying excellent dishes while others found issues like undercooked bacon. Overall, the hotel provides a mix of positives and negatives in its services and facilities.
