We loved this place so much that we booked an extra night. The Whisky Vaults is located right in the heart of downtown Oban, so it is an easy walk from the ferry or bus lines, and if you drive, there is ample pay parking (inexpensive and free at night) on the street and adjacent pay lots. The best part about this place is that while the rooms are upstairs, the whisky tasting bar and open air beer garden are downstairs. With 350 single malt whiskies to try, it is a whisky-lovers paradise. John, the owner is a fantastic, friendly, 'hands-on" manager; his reception staff is friendly and helpful; and Kyle, who handles the 'professional' whisky-tasting sessions, is down to earth, animated, knowledgeable, and just an all-around great guy to hang out with. Our overall positive opinion of Oban is directly related to this wonderful experience.
