10/10 Excellent
"Room was a good size, as was the bathroom. Breakfast was both cold and hot items (order one) plus coffees and tea. Street parking was available outside the hotel when we arrived but filled up quickly. Staff was nice. Easy stairs to the room. Checking in was easy. Central and walkable to restaurants."

"Excellent location right in the centre of Oban and within easy walking distance of everything. Car park was across the street - so handy. Room was very small - described as a standard double, but it would have been better to flag the size up and then expectations would be better managed! No breakfast on site, but we were given a takeaway bag. Excellent recommendation to try the little green fish shack on the harbour - best prawn sandwich I have ever had. Oban itself is a lovely place with beautiful sceney and some interesting little shops."

"Room clean but in need of a paint touch up and carpet cleaning. Lift broken on arrival day. Property can use a refreshing. Room view was as pictured on site. Bedding very comfortable. Suggest two luggage racks. Appears others have used and scratched the cocktail table. Breakfast was well done, dinner needs to be booked - do so before arrival if an early time is required. Would be nice to have tablecloths at dinner. Bar made a good cocktail. Great location."

Ronebhal B&B

10/10 Excellent
"We were met by our host at approximately 8 pm on the first night of our stay. We had provided an approximate time beforehand to help. We were then given the tour, which was extremely helpful. We loved the room - so clean and spacious with en-suite and the sea view was breathtaking. The new bath was very much welcomed, although we just used the superb walk-in shower provided during our stay. There were nice additional touches in the room, e.g. some whiskey to sample, tooth picks, cotton buds, tissues etc. The hamper-style continental breakfast that was delivered to your room every morning was fantastic. More than enough food and snacks for a complete day we thought. There was the Oyster Inn nearby for drinks and food too, which we utilised on some evenings. The trip to Oban itself was only 5 x miles away and we opted for a visit to Sky Falls for some pictures - an hour or so away. All-in-all, this was a fantastic stay and we did what we came to do, which was mainly to taste the wonderful seafood in Oban. We very highly recommend this superb B&B."
