Great stay in a perfect spot!

We stayed for 2 nights and loved the location. It was just right—close to shops and restaurants but still quiet. The room was comfy, and the shower had loads of hot water. The TV was a good size, but it did flicker on by itself a few times. Enjoyed the bar area with some nice drinks too!

It was just an appropriate option for a relaxing holiday in Oban with good value for cost. The room was large and comfortable with nice squishy carpets. Try Julie's down the road for better coffee options.

A Hidden Gem with Room for Improvement

Our stay was short yet memorable. The room was comfortable, with a cozy vibe, although the furniture felt outdated. A lovely stroll to nearby shops made our trip enjoyable. Just a heads up, parking can be a challenge, so consider leaving your car behind. Enjoy your time exploring Oban!

lack of privacy

The stay was enjoyable thanks to the perfect location for exploring Oban. The room was clean and tidy, and I appreciated the modern bathroom with a lovely big walk-in shower. The cooked breakfast was delicious, with plenty of options for everyone. One downside was the overall room size, which felt a bit cramped, but the comfortable bed made up for it.

The Scot features a charming atmosphere with its tasteful decor and well-maintained areas, making it easy for seniors like me to navigate. The friendly staff were very accommodating, ensuring my comfort throughout my stay.

A lift would enhance accessibility for seniors.

Had a great time with friends during our stay! The hotel is centrally located, making it easy to explore nearby attractions. We loved visiting the distillery and enjoying the local pipers at the annual event. The rooms were clean and comfy, and the staff were super friendly. Definitely recommend for a fun getaway!

Had a bit of a hassle when returning keys since the front desk was locked early in the morning. It added a bit of stress to our departure but the rest of the stay was smooth.

delicious food

Just a proper fit for a weekend getaway in Oban with fantastic value for money. The ribs I had were amazing, like from Louisiana. Don't miss trying the lamb cutlets. they're the best you'll ever taste.

The double room offered ample space, making it comfortable for my family. The shower experience was fantastic with high-quality toiletries provided.

It was disappointing that the hotel's restaurant was closed during our stay.
