    Being very picky I would say the shower wasn’t as good as the rest of the room and the lack of staff (which was explained ahead of time and fine) does lower the atmosphere.

    The room was exceptional. The bed was super comfortable. Nice small touches and the view was amazing. Great sized room.

    Nothing really the only downside to our mini break was the bad weather which certainly isn’t a reflection on the Barriemore or the owners and probably a hire car would have been useful as well.

    Nice warm comfortable room. It was nicely decorated with a lovely hot shower. Every day the tea and coffee was replenished and nothing was too much from the owners. Will definitely recommend the Barriemore to friends and family.

    We had a fantastic stay at The Barriemore. The hospitality and personal touches were excellent. Our dogs were made very welcome with beds, bowls and treats. There was also a lovely treat for the adults in a little decanter of Sherry. Perfect stay.

    Fabulous hotel, perfectly located toward the end of the esplanade. Beautiful room, spacious, comfortable, clean, welcoming, absolutely incredible views of the bay and Kerrera island. The binoculars are a great addition and one soon gets used to policing the frequent boat and ferry traffic. Our room has separate areas so whether work or leisure there was ample space. Enormous bathroom, very well lit and a joy to use. Mark the host very pleasant and welcoming. No ‘old people’ or cooking smells and you would never know the hotel accepted our canine friends. The lovely touches of complimentary sherry, Irn Bru and tunnocks give you a warming Scottish welcome. A shared communal room has extra condiments should you need a top up of quality teas and coffee. Complimentary sweeties and fruits in the entrance hallway a lovely touch. A totally relaxing experience and we have already recommended the place to family and friends. Oban itself is a lovely, clean, tidy and welcoming place. Looking at the pristine water you would never guess this is one of the busiest ferry ports (to the isles) in the country. Wonderful

    The building is beautiful, the room was clean and the views breath taking. They even left two bowls, a treat and a bed for our dog. The room is beautiful decorated and with plenty of detail. The owners were very nice and you could see the care and dedication they put into everything. For our next visit to Oban I won't hesitate to stay at the Barriemore Oban again.
