We went in for dinner to the "Bar and Grill". I went up to the bar to order, where the man on duty studiously avoided looking up to acknowledge my presence, because it was MUCH more important that he cleaned off the sink and then went to wipe down a table (even though there was no one waiting for one)...

£110 for a double room when I wanted a single (this was at a reduced rate) and cannot see how the hotel can ask this much, what for? A kettle that I had to place on the floor to use, why so low? Lovely bed and nice big bed but really does not justify the price. Never again.

Well situated on the esplanade in Oban. Staff very helpful, efficient and friendly. The food in the restaurant was really excellent and at £ 28 for a three course meal it very good value. Stayed in the extension building at the back of main hotel. Perhaps the building itself is a bit dated but the rooms were excellent, clean with... More

We had probably the best meal we have eaten in some time in the hotel's Glen Campa Restaurant, their young French chef is someone to watch and at 3 courses of divinely cooked and presented food for £28.00 this is a bargain for food of that quality. That said, if you are the sort of person who judges what you... More

Thank you for reviewing our hotel on Trip Advisor. We are delighted that you appreciate the skills of our chefs but very concerned to read that you wrongly considered him unappreciated. On the contrary, we are very proud of our chefs and advise all guests upon check-in about our fantastic food options. We cannot understand, however, that you did not... More

We were traveling to Oban, Scotland and had a confirmed reservation for one of the hotels in Oban. As it turned out, there was a large music festival that week end as well as a bank holiday -- all hotels were full. When we arrived at the "confirmed" hotel, we were told there had been a mistake, no room! The... More

This is the second time we have stayed at this hotel and we were not disappointed. From the minute we checked in the service was excellent. The rooms were spotlessly clean and the super king size bed very comfy. Breakfast in the restaurant was excellent with lots of choice. We had dinner in the bar on both nights and there... More

DISLIKES No choice of soup in fine dining and wood not serve bar soup, my wife does not like sea food, did not want sweetbreads so only choice was wood pigeon which was the same every night. Had the stake at £2.00 extra but it was only a 1/3 of a steak and nominal veg so left hungry. Have eaten... More

First impressions- lovely outlook as its right by the sea, but the carpark was jam packed full when we arrived, so we had to park on the main road, luckily there was a space not too far away.
