Dalrigh House

Oban

10/10 Excellent

Great location, lots of parking, easy to find. The accommodation is tastefully decorated, clean and the room felt calm and peaceful (although you can hear other guests coming and going). You have use of shared kitchen and lounge which has a partial view of the bay. The room (Nr 3) was a good size but there was little space within the bathroom for toiletries etc, the sink was small, and a light next to the desk would be useful if I'm being picky! I would definitely recommend Dalrigh house and...
