We had a wonderful stay at Ronebhlal B&B. The host was very nice and helpful with questions. The room was perfect. A big window with a perfect view of the bay. Super clean and very new and updated with great treats awaiting weary travelers. We loved it!

Room was nicely decorated, property felt inviting and cozy. To-go items in mini fridge for breakfast was an unexpected surprise. Great location for getting anywhere in Oban.

I only stayed one night and wished I was staying a couple at least. Checking in was a breeze, and the guesthouse is immaculate. I loved the detail in decor and they had a great sitting room. Breakfast was great with ducks in the yard for entertainment (we were inside!). I will stay there again if I return to do hiking in the local area. The owners were very nice and friendly.

Wonderful hosts, very accommodating. Lovely spot with a view of the Isle of Mull across the bay. Had one of the best pasta meals in my life. Well worth the drive.

I am rooting for these guys! It’s a beautiful place and we loved staying in Oban away from the tacky ocean front area spots. We loved the views and the grounds and the library with the assortment of whiskeys. Here is a photo of some highlights! The library and the peacock and the views. Looks like a castle.

Excellent location. My girlfriend and I were convinced that we were at the best hotel in Oban. 2 minutes walk could have you at the wetherspoons by the waterfront among other fantastic restaurants. There were also two restaurants on site very nice and clean. The only minor nitpick were some dirty spots on the bathroom wall and a weird looking soiled paper towel or something in the nightstand drawer. It wasn’t a very big deal and I was able to overlook this since everything seemed to go off...

Great place right in the heart of Oban. 2 minute walk to Oban Distillery. The whisky bar downstairs was really fun and convenient. The rooms were very comfortable and the staff were friendly and helpful.

Our stay at Eriska was wonderful and full of good memories. The staff were very professional and attentive. We spent one day walking around the entire island - it was not strenuous and took approximately 3 hours and that included lots of breaks to take pictures and enjoy the beautiful surroundings. The food at Eriska was top notch from the lovely breakfasts to the multi course dinners. We stayed in the Skye room which is on the first floor. It was a spacious room with a sofa and fireplace.
