Stayed here for one night when walking in the area. The hotel has obviously been there for many years and is, perhaps, a typical seafront establishment. The bar, lounge and dining room areas were all spacious and nicely presented and the Oban has a welcoming feel to it. This was reinforced by a very pleasant young lady who greeted me... More

Wife and I arrived after 11pm and we're met by a sprightly young lady who checked us in, served us drinks and even helped with out luggage. Room was fresh clean and welcoming. Breakfast- Hot and delicious. Location - spot on, near town centre and directly on the seafront. If you're wanting a small comfy hotel that exudes personal service... More
