Feels like you are really in Scotland!
Pros:

Loved this property. Nice lodge along the water with free parking. The room was large, the staff was friendly.
We ate dinner both nights here, and the breakfasts were very good.

Cons:

It was a little bit out of town, more than we expected. We cancelled our dinner reservations in Oban, because we didn't want to have something to drink and then drive back to the hotel. However, it was OK, food at the Lodge was very good.

Pros:

Location really good for travelling around the highlands, comfortable bed

Cons:

Only two rooms with a bath which we weren't informed of as you need to pre book one if required. No safe in room, also if you have a dog you need to be seated outside the restaurant which is not very relaxing area as staff are busy around you which isn't ideal

Would stay again but would want an upper floor room
Pros:

The property is in a stunning location and the decor is beautiful. The staff were extremely friendly and couldn’t do enough for you.

Cons:

My only complaint is that we opted for a sea view room however our rooms were on the bottom floor and a large coach parked in front of our room all evening and from 7am in the morning.. so we never got our sea view!

A one night stay was very dominated by a very poor sleep!
Pros:

A nice room and view.

Cons:

Two (false) fire alarms in the middle of the night (around 4am and then about an hour later) were poorly handled by reception the next morning. No apology - no attempt to empathise really at all.

Luxury Country Hotel outside Oban.
Pros:

Loved the style and ambiance of the hotel and the friendly staff gave a warm welcome. Loved the soft and comfortable beds and decor. Loved the food, probably the best meal Ive had in Scotland travelling through the highlands.

Cons:

I think the service at breakfast was a slight let down as we were competing with a bus tour whom devoured most of the continental buffet and it was so slow to be replenished we didnt get much of a choice and some guests missed out entirely. The staff were slow to take breakfast orders as they were consumed with the tour guests. Also the dining room was in darkness when we arrived 5mins later than our reservation and we had to find a staff member to seat us. All in all although not an ideal start to the day, the food was fabulous again and we did enjoy our cooked breakfast.
