Quiet, historic, Fantastic food, great staff and owners, close to the Invernary area and pre-historic sites. Not in Oban. Castles.
Overall: Switched from 3ed to 2nd floor. Great move. Fantastic dinner and wonderfull breakfast. The Cheif is simply one of the nice people in this world. (107406835)

Clean room. Nice bar area.
A poorly organised breakfast in a dining room full of midges. Early checkout was difficult to achieve.
Overall: The hotel is a classic example of faded Victorian glory, which is struggling to keep pace with the demands of modern customers. (99274157)

The staff were very friendly and the room was clean and tidy
The fcat that I was told the hotel was in Oban as advertised but it is actually 18 miles away!!!!!We could not go for a day out and have a drink and enjoy ourselves as one of us had to drive back to the hotel.The distance from Oban to the hotel should be made clear on the hotel website.
Overall: I was pleased with the cleanliness and service but would think twice beofre re-booking as the distance from the hotel to Oban is too great.We enjoyed our break and the locals who were regulars at the bar made us very welcome and having their company made us feel less secluded!! (99565009)
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.
