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.”

I appreciated the communal kitchen. It had EVERYTHING you could want. We were able to prepare a simple meal and snacks using the microwave and oven. MANY cups of tea were enjoyed. The room was quite lovely with a REALLY big tv.
It was rather difficult to sleep . Our room, 15, was right over the bar and the live Friday night concert lasted until almost 2 am. The WHOLE room shook. There was zero chance of sleeping until the torture was over. The room itself was fine otherwise.
