Great location in Oban. Rooms were decorated and furnished very nicely. Rooms are above a very nice bar, but despite a full bar, no noise impacted our stay. Great little place!

+ great location, great whisky bar and beer garden, clean room. - bed way to small for 2 people, tiny room, not even space for a suitcase, no parking lot, breakfast in a bag with not much of anything.

If you love whisky or not this is the place to stay. The outside appearance does not do this accommodation justice. A very clean and comfortable room, if small ( we were in room 7). The staff were all extremely friendly and welcoming. The bar staff have excellent whisky knowledge. The bar food was also very good. We would definitely stay again.

Cozy rooms, atmospheric decor, friendly staff, and a convenient location just around the corner from Oban Distillery. The on-site beer (and whisky) garden is a great amenity, and bar staff are very knowledgeable about what they’re pouring.

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.

All the staff we talked to were helpful and nice. In a good location for shops, bars and ferry. We found parking at Tweedle car park was much cheaper than the small one next to it. We just found our double standard bedroom extremely small and not big enough for 2 people staying for 4 nights. Man on duty did try to change rooms for us but none were free.
