The welcome was warm and the staff is very friendly. The room is big enough but old decorated. The bed was old and creaking. There is a pub and lounge also managed by the owners. I ate both evenings in the lounge and it was really very good. Unfortunately, when I tried to make tea, there was still water there... More

This is quite a well-kept secret and, as it is off the beaten track, it doesn’t get many passers by. Those passing by would probably not give this place a second glance. For those who know about it is in fact very close to the heart of Oban, probably less than 100yards from Oban Bay. I go here whenever I... More

I stayed here with my sister when we had a night out in Oban. They gave us a family room instead of a twin at no extra cost. The place isn't perfect but it was ideal for our needs. Clean enough, warm, close to all amenities and the lady working there was pleasant.

Arrived in Oban by motorbike for a quick overnight stay as I live in the islands. Made very welcome from the start and offered secure overnight storage for the bike. Great food, friendly staff and regulars in the bar. Slept very well with no loud music or traffic noise. Lovely hot shower and great breakfast. What more do you want!?... More

We always try to have a break where we can also enjoy a boat trip and this fitted the bill perfectly. Only a couple of minutes walk from the bus, ferry, and rail terminals. No car park at the hotel itself but just across the road from a large public car park. Central location set back from the waterfront and... More

Had a meal in the Creel which was excellent, far above the standard of normal "Pub Grub". The Chef obviously took pride in preparation and presentation. Location is very good Hotel could do with a lick of paint externally... More

After attending a funeral in Oban, I went to the Creel for bar meal. The menu is typically a bar menu with some nice seafood options. As it was a very wet and cold day I ordered the steak pie. Wow, what a pleasant surprise, probably the best steak pie that I have had, ever. A large portion of great... More

This hotel is looking quite old. The room seemd to have undergone some building works which were not yet finished. Or should it have been some damage by water? The bed was ok and the room was clean, but the overall impression was not pleasant. The window did not stay opened and some glass in the window was broken and... More
