Lovely boutique hotel just out of the town with a nice view. A ideal place to be for quiet but within driving distance of Oban. Although our room was lovely and we had a good view of the loch, we could also see the bins right below our room, this could be avoided by just covering the bin area.

Our stay at this 15th-century country house was a truly memorable experience. Nestled just across the street from a stunning loch and only a short drive from Oban, the location perfectly blends history, tranquility, and convenience. Check-in was smooth and welcoming, setting the tone for the rest of our visit. Our room was beautiful and spacious, with windows overlooking the front garden and loch — a peaceful and picturesque view to wake up to. As you'd expect with a house of this age, the walls were quite thin. We could hear the guests next door and even some noise from the staff in the room above. It’s part of the charm of an older property, though worth noting if you're a light sleeper. The dining room was a lovely space — charming and character-filled, with paintings adorning the walls. There were also two cozy sitting areas, each with comfortable couches, armchairs, and inviting fireplaces. These were the perfect spots to unwind with a glass of scotch from the bar after a day of exploring. Overall, a unique and relaxing stay in a beautifully historic setting. Would highly recommend for those looking to experience a bit of Scottish charm and heritage. But still are enjoying the modern amenities of upgraded bathrooms☺️

Room was very nice and well put together. Beautiful bathroom. Service and amenities were lacking a bit and the restaurant was ok but wildly overpriced. Staff was courteous but never made us feel comfortable or wanted.

Enjoyed our stay - beautiful location in glorious weather!! ☀️ Just a few extra touches would have made all the difference, such as upgraded amenities in our room (providing tissues, magnifying mirror, better quality toiletries etc) and more varied dining and breakfast menu options, otherwise a fairly standard 4 star hotel. Biggest issue was the creaky floor above our bedroom, sounded like the elephants were having a dance!! All in all however, we would definitely stay there again 😊

Great location. Lovely rooms.

Beautiful location, great for exploring the Argyll coast and Oban. Rooms, reception and lounge all very nice and redecorated in past year or so. Dining room a bit tired and gloomy. The food we had was decent. Not great. Staff were very friendly and helpful.

Nice and quiet

Clean, quiet and welcoming. Room had a not so appealing view of a grassy, weedy bank with construction ladders. Auto lights and fan when going into the bathroom at night can be abrupt and startling. Overall a really lovely place with good amenities, welcoming staff, with good food.

Good, but with points to improve. Beautiful view

We had two rooms, one had clearly been renovated, whilst the other hadn't. Renovated room was lovely (especially the bathroom), other room was okay, but wouldn't necessarily want that one again for the price. Shower was in dire need of a refurb. Rooms both had a lovely view. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Be aware that there is not a lift in the property - we were travelling with an elderly family member and the stairs would have been an issue if we were staying longer. If you are considering breakfast, pay for the cooked version, as continental is very very limited. Overall, a good stay, and I would return.

Very Faulty Towers…..My husband and I stayed here for 2 nights after arriving from New York in October 2024. I had refrained from reviewing this hotel immediately after my stay, as I Terrible check-in experience with inexperienced staff and unwelcoming manager, who was more inclined to hold a staff meeting than provide

Great over night stay

The stay from start to finish was faultless. The room was beautifully decorated, with a good choice of hot drinks. The bed was massive and super comfy. It was the staff that really made this stay so good. They were all very friendly and accommodating, nothing was to much trouble. They go out their way to make sure everything just perfect. The food was also delicious.
