FAQs about hotels in Oban






Gateway to the Inner Hebrides

Oban is a city built around a late 18th-century distillery that produces one of the finest single malt whiskeys in Scotland. This normally peaceful town is invaded during summer when tourists use it as a base to visit the Inner Hebrides islands such as Mull, Lismore and Coll, supporting its status as the Gateway to the Isles.

The horseshoe-shaped Oban Bay is sheltered by Kerrera Island with its spectacular Gylen Castle. Award-winning seafood restaurants and lively pubs line George Street and the waterfront of Corran Esplanade adjacent to the harbour.

Take a short walk up the hill to McCaig’s Tower, a structure based on the Roman Colosseum, for the finest views of Oban’s centre and the outer islands. When you get back down to sea level, stroll into and stumble out of the Oban whiskey distillery after sampling the local version of the 'water of life'.

Admire the coastal scenery as you travel a bit out of town to the 7th-century ruins of Dunollie Castle, home of the Clan MacDougall. The Firth of Lorn gives visitors a fanatstic opportunity to try some sea kayaking.

As the capital of North Argyll, Oban has a great selection of hotels, guest houses and B&Bs available on Booking.com.

    Oban is a delightful seaside town that offers very good restaurants, shopping (small shops with nice merchandise) and the ability to enjoy the beauty of the bay and all of its activity. Oban makes a great base for exploring the area of walks/hikes, going out on small boat short duration trips to see wildlife, lots of castles to visit or to take the ferry out to the islands. Taxi service is plentiful as are private tour guides.

    Bustling little port at centre of Highland area, ferries to outer and inner islands. Train station if no car, plus reasonable bus service to places of interest, eg. Dunstaffnage Castle and Oceanic research facility at Dunbeg etc. Try a ferry visit to Mull and look out for seals , dolphins, etc. Excellent shops and restaurants, all in small scale and within easy walking distance. Lots of points of interest and if weather nice, very hard to beat. Great for Families with young children and Oldies as well.

    GORGEOUS little port town.

    GORGEOUS little port town. Lots of lovely little shops, an interesting war time museum, and excellent food and drink in the numerous cafes, bars, and restaurants. Easy access to travel by bus, ferries, and trains. Walked (some of us VERY SLOWLY!) up the hill to McCaig's Tower and enjoyed the spectacular views; followed by a delicious late lunch at Cuan Mor.

    This is a very nice family style hotel with great views of the water. Room was comfortable, nice bathroom and a walkout balcony with a table and chairs and a terrific view of the water and bridge. Very quiet. They are located about 12 min. from Oban and an ideal location for us. Oban can be a bit hectic. Breakfasts were absolutely wonderful with a wide variety of choices and fixed to order. We ate 2 evening meals in the dinning room and they were delicious. The dinning room looks out over a beautiful lawn and water.

    This is probably the best hotel we have stayed in in Scotland and were made welcome from the start The breakfast was served in a room with very good views of Oban and the choice was exceptional. The library was comfortable with newspapers to read and wonderful views. We had a warm welcome from our hosts who who were kind and very hospitable. In the evening we enjoyed the excellent choice of malt whiskies to savour in the bar.

    The Manor House itself is quite beautiful and provides wonderful views of the Port of Oban. The host when we checked in, David, was very friendly, informative, and funny! He served me a 'tour of Oban Distillery' whisky flight which was incredible. He really knew his stuff! The hotel is only a short walk away from all the main offerings of Oban. Once we arrived, we did not need to take our car anywhere to see the city.

    Being a premier hotel in Oban it does cost more. The fact that you are just yards from the train, bus and ferry terminal make it a prime location. It does have a spa but I didn't have the spare time to use any of them.
