If you love whisky or not this is the place to stay. The outside appearance does not do this accommodation justice. A very clean and comfortable room, if small ( we were in room 7). The staff were all extremely friendly and welcoming. The bar staff have excellent whisky knowledge. The bar food was also very good. We would definitely stay again.

Cozy rooms, atmospheric decor, friendly staff, and a convenient location just around the corner from Oban Distillery. The on-site beer (and whisky) garden is a great amenity, and bar staff are very knowledgeable about what they’re pouring.

With over 2 weeks in Scotland and staying 14 different places, I would recommend this property in Oban. It was centrally located, clean, and comfortable with large bed. The bathroom was small but very clean and I would not let this affect your decision unless you need a large bathroom. The breakfast bag was nice as well. Parking was cheap and on the road or across the street, but close. This place is around many restaurants and very close to Oban distillery. I really appreciate the cleanliness and convenience of this place if staying in Oban.
