Pros:

Almost Everything was a Great experience just to stay at this Hotel just outside Oban and station for train is 1 minute walk away

Cons:

The WIFI was not fit for purpose we could log on but more often than not we had no internet access. 4g is available though on your network and you can hotspot tablets from your phone

Pros:

Locatie is het grote pluspunt van dit mooie hotel. Prachtig gelegen aan de oevers van de rivier. Kamers zijn basic maar prima bedden. Ontbijt top, zeer vriendelijke crew, Ruud Giant is the best :-)

Cons:

Sfeer in het restaurant wat minder, onvriendelijke manager, we zijn elders gaan eten. Wat weinig parkeerplaatsen maar lukt. Inrichting van een licht gedateerde charme.

Rapport qualité-prix pas du tout au rendez-vous
Pros:

Très belles moquettes

Cons:

Recevoir un WhatsApp pour demander à nouveau ma carte bancaire, la prendre encore à la réception pour empreinte alors qu'elle est fournie dans la reservation booking (jamais vu ça dans ma longue expérience!).
Accueil expéditif, comme au petit déjeuner où on retire l'assiette en passant "devant le nez" du clent. Qualité plat chaud moyenne.
Pas d'ascenseur.
Rapport qualité-prix pas du tout au rendez-vous.

Pros:

Full of character, like an Agatha Christie set. Walking distance from the Falls of Lora, which was quite an amazing sight. The cod dish I had in the restaurant was probably the best meal I had anywhere in scotland, and very reasonably priced

Cons:

The vegetarian food. My partner was served a Mac'n'Cheese that was absolutely swimming in grease and she was unable to finish. The kitchen can obviously cook to a very high standard, but the vegetarian food felt like an afterthought.

Would highly recommend
Pros:

Staff were fantastic. Very friendly and definitely went the extra mile at all times. We booked a ground floor room so didn't expect great views, but we had lovely views, pleasantly surprised. We had an excellent meal in the Bistro bar and the breakfast in the dining room was varied and great quality.

Cons:

Nothing
