Friendly atmosphere.

New water boiler.

Overall: Lots of character and potential but needs a bit of investment to tidy up / refresh decor in some areas. Also gardens / ground at back could do with a bit of a clear up.

Friendly and welcoming staff and chef. Nice food and wines, although wines were rather expensive.

Location too isolated for our liking. Furnished on the quaint side. Toilet and shower below standard I would expect.

Overall: We would normally stay in Oban itself and so found the location a little too isolated for our liking but that is not a criticism of the hotel itself and it was a busy weekend. However, the staff were very welcoming and pleasant and the chef was excellent. We did feel that the wine list was more pricey than usual for a small hotel such as this. The furnishings in the room could do with upgrading but the room was clean and comfortable. I would recommend the hotel to anyone looking for a very quiet weekend or for those who like to walk but there are no other pubs etc. nearby but if you want to chill-out it may be for you.

Why do we publish ratings from Active Hotels?

Our rating system is designed to give you the confidence to find and book the hotel that best suits your needs. We've worked hard to create a fair and impartial process to collect our ratings so you can always be assured of a great hotel experience.

How do I add a rating?

Unlike other sites that offer ratings, our rating process is by invitation only. This ensures that 100% of the ratings you see on our site come from guests that have booked online with us and stayed at the hotel in question.

All our ratings are created by guests who have booked through Active Hotels (or its sister sites) and completed their stay over the last year. We don't edit, alter or adjust the ratings so you can be sure of unbiased opinions.

How do you manage to collect so many ratings?

48 hours after departure from your accommodation booked through Active Hotels or any of our sister sites, you may be invited to complete a guest review questionnaire. This means that, for most hotels, we're able to post more than 1 guest rating every single week. We currently display over 70,000 ratings and we add hundreds of scores from real guests every day.
