"Quirky little hotel right in Oban. Staff are wonderful. Carpet etc a little tired and stairs can be a challenge. Some rooms have sloped ceiling in the bathroom which is a little awkward. All in all it was good but priced in a way that we expected more. Parking is at public parking lot a few hundred feet away. Super convenient to walk around Oban. Oban sits below a cliff so any hotels "with a view" will require much climbing."

"Un accueil chaleureux de la gérante Sarah, une chambre propre, tranquille et disposant de toutes les commodités, un petit-déjeuner extraordinaire avec choix variés de céréale et yogourts et fruits de même qu’un choix de laits chauds préparés à la demande. Nous avons également souper au récurant le Porcini, excellent. Un sans faute et nous recommandons absolument cet endroit. Petits plus : tout est à distance de arche de l’hôtel et le stationnement est disponible sur place.."
