I couldn't have asked for a better spot to stay! The hotel's right on the harbor and just a stone's throw away from the Oban ferry port. The room was lovely, but unfortunately, it overlooked the car park. The service was top-notch, especially on the reception desk. The location is a perfect 10, close to the town center with convenient parking facilities. The dining options were not included, but the fresh sandwiches were a treat.
