The room was nicely decorated, but the bathroom. We got a loch view, which I would highly recommend, as the view was beautiful. Breakfast was a nice selection and included in our rate. Hotel was about a 10minute drive into Oban We had our dog and the hotel was very dog friendly. She was allowed in the bar area, which we thought was a nicer area for breakfast (and she got a sausage in the morning which she loved). The staff said there was a walk round the back but we didn't do it.
There were sheep in the field with the Loch across the room, and the grass area wasn't secure, so we couldn't let the dog off off. For us the dinner and drinks menu prices were very expensive so we ate elsewhere. Drinks wise it was £7.50 for a can of beer and £10+ for a single G&T. The bathroom, although beautiful, was a lot smaller than expected. It was tight for one adult to stand and dry themselves. There are no fridges in the rooms.

The location on the West Coast of Scotland is beautiful. The hotel is warm and welcoming and very comfortable. Our room was very nice with a lovely view over the Loch. We celebrated our 30th anniversary and the hotel arranged a beautiful bouquet of flowers as requested. It was also Burns Night the hotel arranged a lovely evening of local tales and folk song. There is a hot tub which you can book for £10 but we didn’t make use of it.
The hotel was unexpectedly busy due to Storm Euywan. As a result there was a shortage of towels in our room and it took a while to get that sorted.

This hotel has been recently refurbished and was just beautiful. The room was spacious with everything that you need for a very comfortable stay. The bed was really comfortable and the towels so soft. The bar area and live music in the evenings with the log burner was just lovely. There was an excellent menu and attentive staff. The location just south of Oban was perfect and there was plenty of parking. I am more than happy to highly recommend this hotel to travelers.
Hard to put anything negative really. We had a rear facing room but we could see the birds coming to the bird feeders on the tree. A lake view would have been amazing.

This Highland country house hotel is a lovely place. Tastefully decorated with a peaceful aura. Well located with views over loch. Tranquil feel. Room was lovely. Dinner was tasty. Nice lounge to relax with a drink. Staff friendly. Parking right outside. I’d stay here again.
There were a few things that could be improved. Quite a few things on the food and drinks menus not available; ground floor room was far too hot at night despite turning off heating and unable to open window; squeaky floorboards in upstairs room made it noisy in my downstairs room. Despite these minor issues, I enjoyed my stay.

Beautiful hotel and garden. The room was very comfortable, a good size and clean. Nice shower We had our dog with us and he was provided a bed and bowl. The bar was dog friendly but we decided to let him sleep while we went for our dinner and breakfast. The evening meal was very good and the waiter extremely helpful. Breakfast was excellent also. Walks for the dog were great, (no paths except on the grounds of the hotel). We went up the hill behind the hotel to a beautiful view, which was nice walk for the dog too. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Definitely consider staying again.
Nothing not to like.

Lovely 4 star hotel with sea views just 15 minutes from Oban. Very friendly local staff who gave lots of advice about the local area and wildlife. The rooms are quite large and comfortable with Scottish interiors and renovations finished in 2024. There are 2 lounge areas with a wood fire for use also in the day time. Breakfast was served at the table on the breakfast room (extra cost). The restaurant food was very high quality and good value with the same menu for lunch or dinner. Well located for walks and visits with the possibility of seeing wildlife although you would be best with a car. Highly recommended I would love to go back in any season !
Take plenty of time if travelling to/from Glasgow or Edinburgh for the winding road and for the views. There is no lift to the first floor although rooms are available on the ground floor.

Staff were fantastic. Food was great and drink selection, in particular whisky, was excellent. Fantastic new refurb. Very clean and comfortable
Lorries with linen arrived very early in the morning directly outside the room and were really noisy, woke us up. They used the main entrance as utilities/ deliveries etc which was possibly the only option but we had to get out of the way of deliveries whilst trying to check out/ carry luggage and negotiate our dogs. It should really have been another entrance or different timings, or more sympathetic to paying guests. I will note that this was external staff and cannot fault the in house staff that we faultless

I was fortunate enough to win a stay at this hotel as a prize, but I decided to book an additional night to extend the experience. The hotel was absolutely stunning, with exceptional views. The staff were lovely and incredibly friendly, and the hot tub was a fantastic addition to a wonderful stay. The rooms were immaculate, providing a level of relaxation I’ve never experienced in a hotel before. I left feeling completely refreshed. The log fires added a cosy touch, creating the perfect atmosphere. This is by far the best hotel I’ve ever stayed at. I particularly loved their charming Christmas stalls and purchased a “Zesty Creations” hamper, which was delicious. I truly admire how the hotel supports local businesses by giving them an opportunity to showcase their products. I will definitely be booking again, this time with the entire family! I would’ve uploaded photos but they simply don’t capture how amazing this hotel is - it’s more stunning in person.

The hotel was stunning inside and out and set in the most beautiful location.We booked a suit which was very spacious and very comfortable with views over the loch.We had our two small dogs with us,the hotel provided two dog beds and bowls which were much appreciated.The staff were very nice. The staff member who stood out from the rest was the lovely Janice.She was so kind and friendly with not only us but all the guests,her warm engaging personality is an asset to this fabulous country house hotel.
I didn’t like the fact the hotel charges £25 per night per dog.I feel this is excessive.

The entire experience at this location was well worth the cost. The setting was very peaceful and picturesque, exactly what we were after. Also, its proximity to Oban, just a few minutes away, was highly convenient. On the top of the list was the outstanding staff. They were welcoming, approachable, and genuinely happy. Also, the food was exceptional, both for breakfast and for dinner. Lastly, the room, especially the bed, was incredibly comfortable. Every morning we woke up rested and ready for the day.
No complaints at all.
