Falls of Lora
Pros:

Lovely staff, and view. The hotel has a private garden where you can sit and relax, lovely rooms and good restaurant. From there you easily reach the harbour where you have plenty of places for food.

Cons:

Breakfast can definitely be improved, my partner’s veggie breakfast was dry and looked sad. My salmon sandwich had very small salmon

A great hotel, with great staff, in a great location.

The views from the outside area are stunning. We ate in the restaurant and the food and service were great.
The guy on reception (apologies I should have got his name) was so helpful and a pleasure to chat with.

Cons:

I don't think we had any issues

Heerlijk
Pros:

Een geweldig mooi pand (zowel binnen als buiten), prima restaurant en bar. Als de zon schijnt kun je in de namiddag/vroege avond heerlijk op het terras voor het hotel genieten van een drankje. Wij hadden een kamer in de aanbouw. Het was een prima prijs/kwaliteitverhouding. Als je iets meer wilt besteden, is het aan te raden een mooiere kamer in het oorspronkelijke gebouw te nemen.
Oban ligt op een kwartiertje rijden, dus dit hotel is een prima uitvalsbasis.
