"We loved our two nights stay at Melfort House. It was peaceful idyll that restored us somewhat as we were nearing the end of our road trip through Scotland. Matthew is a wonderful host, and we felt welcome in his home. The breakfast offerings were top notch, and our room and bed were so comfortable. The location was perfect for a day trip to nearby Oban, which should not be missed, particularly for the seafood and Oban Distillery tour. Thank you Matthew for the opportunity to stay; we will long...

"I very much appreciated the personal welcome, not just receiving access codes via a text. Janet, the manager, was very welcoming and exceptionally friendly. The room and the house were clean and had a warm flowery scent. I was lucky to have been given a room with a direct view to the sea. This made it even more pleasurable to sit in the armchair and drink my morning coffee and night drink. Should I visit Oban again, I would definitely try to get a room at the Hamilton Guesthouse again. Thank...

Top Slate Islands Hotel Reviews

Corran House Guest House & Hostel

10/10 Excellent

"The room had everything we needed, it was quaint & convenient. The kitchen / breakfast setup was perfect for doing our own cooking and purchasing just what we needed - a few eggs. I look forward to staying again the next time I’m in Oban!"

The Great Western Hotel

2/10 Terrible

"To charge these ridiculous prices for a below basic room is disgraceful. Toilet not clean hair on top of the toilet. Wifi kept dropping out. Hotel in desperate need of refurbishment but they are to interested in ripping you off. I stayed here about 6/7 years ago and it has most definitely got eorse"

The Whisky Vaults

8/10 Good

"I enjoyed my stay. My room was tiny, and so was the bathroom, but everything was clean and comfortable. Shower had great water pressure. I thought the staff went the extra mile to be helpful, and to provide upgraded soaps and shampoo, coffee and tea, and a breakfast bag with water, pastry and an apple. Plus, you can eat and drink downstairs at MacGregors. I signed up for a whisky tasting which was really fun! Whisky, music and stories. Made for an enjoyable evening."

The Royal Hotel

6/10 Okay

"We stayed here for two nights in a Classic Twin Room in April 2026. The biggest positives were the excellent location and the staff, particularly reception and housekeeping, who were genuinely lovely and very helpful throughout our stay. However, the hotel itself feels very tired and dated, with a sense of faded grandeur. Carpets throughout the corridors, public areas, and staircases were heavily worn in places. A major concern was the spiral-style staircase. The steps are extremely narrow on one side, yet the bannister is positioned on that narrowest side rather than the wider side where support is most needed. This made the stairs feel quite dangerous, especially when carrying luggage. We also heard several other guests complaining about this. The lift was also extremely small and very slow for such a large hotel. The bathrooms were clean and fairly modern, although basic and not especially well finished. Bedrooms were clean but dated, and the TV was tiny by modern standards. Drinks in the lounge/bar area were also surprisingly expensive. One particularly worrying incident involved a friend staying in another room becoming trapped for a long while inside the bathroom after the door handle completely fell off late at night. As he has epilepsy, this was especially frightening and highlighted concerns around maintenance and safety. Overall, the hotel has great staff and a fantastic central location, but it now feels in real need of refurbishment and improved maintenance."

The Grey Gull Hotel

4/10 Poor

"Really run down. In our room, the shower attachment distinegrated, the bathroom fan did not work, the toilet seat was broken, the electric face plate for the towel rail was smashed, the bathroom door had had 2 big holes filled, the carpet was stained. The entire hotel is run down and needs a full refurbishment. Outside, the beer garden has a fake rolled out lawn, cut badly around the edges with trip hazards. Avoid the restaurant. I ordered steak pie and mash. What I got was some meat in a dish with a puff pastry lid placed on top, a spoonful of mash that looked like it had been sitting around and a splodge of over-boiled frozen vegetables."

Premier Inn Oban

6/10 Okay

"Both elevators were out at one point, the staff couldn’t check me in even minutes earlier than the 3pm guideline,and the whole ‘meal thing’ felt weird about inclusions or exclusions. Pay to park (but only 10 pounds) for two nights - but still…great location for rail or ferry, but the staff couldn’t check use an upgrade. PS. Why are the damn hallways so narrow to your room? I could barely get by a maids cart…seems like the fire regulations would be wider. Narrowest I have ever seen in any hotel. Plus, the fire extinguishers are proud from the wall vs. set back.. something else to knock off on the way by. Not worth what I paid per night for sure."

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Slate Islands?

The best area to stay when visiting the Slate Islands is on the Isle of Seil, particularly in or around the villages of Easdale and Balvicar.

Easdale village, connected to the mainland by the 'Bridge Over the Atlantic,' is the primary access point for the Slate Islands, including the nearby island of Easdale itself. It's a small, picturesque settlement with historic cottages and a harbor, offering direct boat trips to Easdale Island. The village provides a convenient base with a few local pubs and eateries, making it easy to relax after a day of exploring.

Couples looking for a tranquil escape will appreciate the peacefulness of this area. The quiet surroundings and stunning coastal views create a romantic atmosphere.

When is the best time to go to Slate Islands?

The best time to visit the Slate Islands is during the late spring and summer months, specifically from May to September.

During this period, the weather is generally milder and more predictable, making it ideal for enjoying outdoor activities. The days are longer, allowing for extended exploration of the islands' natural beauty, and the sea conditions are typically calmer, which is crucial for boat trips to see wildlife or explore neighboring islands.

For travelers interested in wildlife, particularly birdwatching, May and June are excellent. This is when many seabirds, including puffins, are nesting on the cliffs and are most active. The vibrant flora also begins to bloom, adding to the scenic beauty.

Families and those looking for a relaxing holiday will find July and August particularly suitable. The warmer temperatures are more comfortable for children, and the calm waters are superb for kayaking, swimming, or simply enjoying the beaches.
