Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers fantastic views and excellent facilities. The sunset views are exceptional, and you get a great view overall. However, the price may not fully match the value provided.
The hotel offers stunning views, comfortable rooms with fridge and microwave, and a carpeted bathroom. The views from the room were breathtaking, but the price could have been more competitive. The service was efficient but lacked a shuttle service. The location, opposite the island of Kerrera, was picturesque but slightly away from the center. The dining experience with crisp salads was delightful. The facilities were satisfactory, offering a good value for money.
I had an amazing stay at this hotel with stunning waterfront views and a modern bathroom. The room also had a fridge and a microwave, making it super convenient. However, the price could have been a bit more budget-friendly.
The hotel is beautifully situated right on the waterfront, offering breathtaking views and easy access to the coast of Oban. The rooms provide a luxurious experience with a king bed and a very comfortable bed, although the carpeted bathroom may not be everyone's preference. The service, including the paid shuttle service, is top-notch, ensuring a convenient and pleasant stay. However, dining options with stunning views might exceed expectations but possibly lack variety. The price may be considered a bit high for some, yet the overall value for money is evident due to the prime location and upscale amenities.
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel, with a glorious view across to Kerrera from the room, excellent facilities, and a carpeted bathroom. The service was top-notch with a convenient shuttle service. The location was stunning, right on the seafront in a lovely garden area. The dining experience was enjoyable with light salads on offer, and the facilities were impeccable.
The hotel offers a comfortable stay with excellent facilities and lovely views. The service is top-notch with convenient shuttle options. The seafront location provides beautiful views, but the dining experience could be improved. Overall, a great value for money choice.
