Pros:

Typisches englisches Herrenhaus. Schönes Ambiente. Das Frühstück wie auch das Abendessen waren sehr lecker.

Cons:

Wenn man für einen Whisky an der Bar 35.00 Pfund bezahlt, sollte man vorher darüber informiert werden. Völlig überteuert!

Ideal for an overnight stop before catching a ferry from Oban.
Pros:

Delicious, generous, efficient breakfast - "help yourself" for some things; order anything hot. Very convenient for an overnight stay for a ferry from Oban at lunchtime the next day. Staff very welcoming & helpful. We ate in the Bistro during the evening. Service was slow but they explained that one of the chefs had needed to go to hospital due to a bad cut so 1 chef was coping on their own on a busy Friday evening! As we weren't in a hurry, it really didn't matter. Food good.

Cons:

The double room we booked was on the small side, but we chose the cheapest option & it was absolutely fine for one night. I'm sure there are bigger rooms available at a higher cost.

Lovely setting, overdue a refresh
Pros:

The hotel has a lovely traditional feel and looks charming. Nice location for exploring the Oban area. The staff was great, genuinely the highlight of the stay.

Cons:

The bed was squeaky and uncomfortable, and the carpets in the room were well past their best.
