Super mooie en gastvrije locatie in Oban!
Pros:

De locatie is handig; net buiten de drukte maar op loopafstand van het centrum. Je voelt je direct welkom bij aankomst. Super vriendelijk personeel en een prachtig huislijke omgeving. Welkomstdrankje, uitleg, luxe ontbijt wat door een kok vers wordt bereid en als je met je hond reist; overal snoepjes, mandjes en kussens.

Cons:

Niets

We can't wait to come back and stay here again!
Pros:

The location is perfect, right on the water and just a short walk from the centre of Oban. We were able to park our rental car right in the main lot which was really nice. From the very first greeting, all the way through check-out, we felt really cared for. I would say that No. 26 absolutely understands hospitality and the host made our time feel very special. We would highly recommend the breakfast. It was lovely to wake up and just walk down to a freshly prepared meal of our choice.

Cons:

It's really hard to find something we didn't like, but if I had to say anything it would be that the room got quite hot. Now it is summer and doesn't have air conditioning, so we understand there is only so much that can be done. If you are traveling in summer, that's just something to keep in mind. There was a fan provided which helped a little.

Pros:

Incredible stay, all staff lovely and welcoming. All love dogs 🐕 and certainly know how to look after humans as well. The downstairs lounge and breakfast dinning was an amazing experience with a well stocked Honesty bar. Great local knowledge of the area for walks and places to see. Bedroom was really clean with fridge and a special 8am present left outside the door consisting of orange juice and pastries 👌👍

Cons:

Nothing!
