Pros:

L'accoglienza, la posizione, l'atmosfera e un pub in perfetto stile scozzese con una selezione infinita di whisky e un ottima cucina.
All'arrivo ci ha accolti Crhis offrendoci una busta a testa con una colazione di cortesia.
La camera è accogliente e la numero 9 ha la vista sul porto di Oban dove si intravede l'isola di Mull. Se venite qui, consiglio vivamente di fare un salto al pub con musica live e con Crhis che vi accompagna nella degustazione dei migliori whisky scozzesi.
Ci tornerò!

Pros:

Location - it is in an excellent location for exploring Oban
Staff - we were greeted extremely warmly and made to feel very welcome, with offers to help with carrying luggage to our room and good information.
Decor - the room was beautifully decorated with matching accessorises and a very comfy bed, lovely towels and ample tea and coffee supplies

Cons:

The stairs, a rail on the left of stairs to help if you are not fully mobile would be extremely useful, having had total knee replacement 14 weeks prior stairs were a bit tricky, being a curved staircase to hold on to the banister side meant going down the really narrow part of each step which was not safe.

We understood why the basin was so small but the positioning of the soap and handcream containers right above it made it really hard to almost impossible to use especially for cleaning your teeth.

Pros:

Good location

Cons:

Drain in the shower hadn’t been cleaned, therefore did not drain, on further investigation it was a simple matter of cleaning the clump of hair collected.

Ok but rather expensive for what it was
Pros:

Location was excellent. Room was spacious and comfortable bed

Cons:

Bathroom tiny. Very messy public areas when shown to our room although an apology was given. No breakfast bag on second day. Did not realise that this was not going to be a hotel experience. No room cleaning or fresh towels. Really felt more like an Airbnb.
