Highlights

Accommodation: En suite guest rooms with stunning sea views
Self-Catering: Self catering kitchen with spectacular views over the bay
“The rooms impress with cleanliness and some offer wide seaside views, complemented by a communal kitchen for self-catered breakfasts; the proximity to a pub provides atmosphere, with earplugs thoughtfully available. Though cooking is necessary for on-site breakfast, its location near Oban's bars and restaurants provides alternatives. For me, it stands out as a practical base for exploring Oban.”
