David made our stay - from booking dinner reservations to whisky and history lessons! So great!
Pros:

Breakfasts were delicious with lots of options. The views over the harbor were stunning and the history of the property was amazing.

Cons:

I would've preferred a little larger room with water views - but I waited too long to book so was just happy to get the small but sweet and vey comfortable room we stayed in!

The Manor House exceeded our expectations, don't hesitate to stay here while in Oban.
Pros:

Beautiful, historic property within easy walking distance of Oban city center. Staff is exceptional, lovely restaurant and bar, very cozy. It like you're staying in a private, luxury home. Views of the harbor are gorgeous. Complimentary breakfast is fabulous, fresh floral arrangements throughout the house. Rooms are beautiful with super nice linens. It's pretty much a dream property.

Cons:

Typical of the UK beds are usually a standard double. Our son had a room with cozy, almost pushed together twin beds that may have been a better choice for my ex jock husband.

Perfetto da tutti i punti di vista
Pros:

Tutto fantastico, splendida location, personale accogliente, simpatico, preparato (in particolare David grande intenditore di whisky).
Un posto dove rimanere più di una notte qualora possibile (difficile trovare in Scozia posti tanto belli e con rapporto qualità prezzo adeguato).

Cons:

Pros:

Nous avons beaucoup apprécié le charme du manoir, la vue sur la baie et le port depuis la bar, le parking de l'hôtel ainsi que le petit déjeuner copieux et servi entièrement à table.
Le personnel était particulièrement prévenant, et nous avons beaucoup aimé être guides dans le choix de notre dégustation de whisky par un vrai spécialiste car la carte était fort variée.
La literie confortable et le décor de la chambre nous ont beaucoup plu.

Cons:

On a choisi de réserver une table pour le dîner à l'hôtel, nous avons trouvé que le menu n'est pas assez varié et que les portions étaient trop petites, mais tout était très bon.
