Perle Oban Hotel & Spa

Perle Oban Hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent
"The Pearle Oban is right in the heart of the city...beautiful view overlooking the water. Accessible to all sights by walking and plenty of restaurants in the area. I am not sure why there is no outlet in the bathrooms; it does make it difficult to blow dry your hair...lol The staff was fabulous; held our luggage for a day while we took an overnight trip to Isle of Mull. Great breakfast spread that was included. Loved our stay in Scotland!"

10/10 Excellent
"Our stay at the Inverarry Inn was very nice. The staff were great and so helpful. We had dinner and breakfast and thoroughly enjoyed both. We arrived in the bar early for dinner and enjoyed our pre-dinner drinks. There were vegan and gluten free options available. Parking included several charging stations so we were able to charge our car overnight. We are very happy we decided to stay there."
