Modernes Stadthaus mit Meerblick
Pros:

Großzügige Wohnung auf 2 Etagen, gut ausgestattet. Wohnzimmer, Schlafzimmer und große Küche. 1 Bad und Gästetoilette sowie oben ein begehbarer Kleiderschrank. Sehr geschmackvoll eingerichtet. Ein schöner Blick auf das Wasser und unten noch ein Balkon.

Cons:

der Wasserdruck beim Duschen ist sehr wechselhaft. Der TV im Wohnzimmer hatte kein "offizielles" BBC&ITV installiert, es fehlte wohl ein Kabel. Bei der Fußball WM recht ärgerlich. Und oben am 2. TV im Bett war uns nichts. Parkplatz first come, first serve und sehr eng. Zumindest bei der teuren Wohnung könnte man einen reservieren. 50£ f. 2 Personen für das Frühstück je Nacht wirken leicht übertrieben, zumal es inkl. ist, wenn man direkt bucht.

Would definitely return
Pros:

This place was recommended to us by a colleague; we stayed here as part of our honeymoon and it was lovely. When we arrived we had a complimentary bottle of sparkling wine to congratulate us which was very much appreciated. The entire stay felt like they’d put a lot of thought into everything they do, it’s very personal without being overbearing. I would absolutely return.

Brilliant beyond words
Pros:

From arrival to departure the team at No26 could not have done more, been more friendly or more helpful. What a wonderful hotel. The little personal touches make such a difference. Most the best hotel in the world where we have stayed!!!

Beautiful and well-appointed stay on the esplanade
Pros:

We had a lovely two-night stay at No. 26 by the Sea! Our only regret is that we didn't get a chance to stay longer. It is a beautiful place -- exceptionally clean and well-decorated. Our beautiful balcony room was a bit warm, but we were able to open the windows while keeping the curtains closed to block out the light, and the room cooled down quickly with the cool Oban breeze. It's a lovely 10-15-minute walk into the center of town. Parking is available, but a bit tight -- we were thankful for our back-up camera! The service and amenities were also excellent -- they went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable and welcoming, including offering a complimentary glass of fizz upon our arrival and then allowing us to have it the next evening instead, since that worked better for our schedule. Finally, breakfast was absolutely delicious -- the porridge was a highlight for me. While it is one of the pricier places we stayed, it was well worth it for the views and the hospitality. We highly recommend No. 26 by the Sea!

Exceptional in every way!!
Pros:

What a fantastic hotel, they could have done more to make our stay anymore special. From arrival to departure every member of their team was exceptional. If going to Oban there is only one place to stay. Room 7 had the most amazing sea view!!!

Cons:

Beautiful B&B in Oban
Pros:

This B&B is right on the main street in Oban on the harbor. Lovely view from seaside room. Room was comfortable with modern updated shower. A bit small for 2 people but there was a desk with room to dry hair and do make-up. Clean, quiet. Rachel was our host and was extremely customer focused. We spent 2 nights. She requested our breakfast choices and time we would like it. There is an honor bar and large sitting area for an evening cocktail while admiring the harbor view. Breakfast was excellent and the chef prepared everything to perfection! A perfect place to stay and enjoy all Oban has to offer!

An asset to Oban
Pros:

It's always lovely to stay at No.26. It's spotlessly clean, very comfortable, all staff are genuinely friendly and the breakfast is first class. I've probably stayed in most B&B's along the esplanade over the years and, although there was rarely anything wrong with them, No.26 has definitely raised the bar. An asset to Oban.

A very friendly and personal welcome set the tone for our stay at this super hotel. Unfortunately we could only stay one night rather than the 2 originally panned so will return . A lovely room and great breakfast as well as a good location and great team

Boujee but braw!
Pros:

Highly personalised, boutique service and atmosphere whilst retaining a relaxed and dog friendly environment. Nicest welcome with glass of bubbly, small touches of class such as the amazing Gordon Castle shower products, Tea Pigs, morning orange juice and pan au chocolates at the door, dog treats. Sea view a bonus and impeccably clean and comfortable. Morning breakfast was a highlight and a good selection to chose from. Coffee was really tasty and granola a highlight.

Cons:

Nothing other than a little bit stuffy inside. My fault for not seeing the aircon fan behind the armchair!

Beautiful location, gorgeous rooms and exceptionally friendly hospitality!
Pros:

Gorgeous place with exceptionally friendly hospitality. The location is just a 5 minute walk from the centre and overlooks the ever changing bay. The breakfasts are excellent and we were lucky enough to spend an evening in the bay window of the ‘honesty bar’ room enjoying the views. There are stunning walks from here too, especially to Little Ganavan Beach at sunset.
