The staff were exceedingly wonderful! The room was clean with great views and well equipped with everything we needed for our stay. It is located walking distance to great shopping, restaurants and golf. There are several restaurants to choose from and a suberb room service menu. We will definitely stay here again!

Marilyn United States of America

From start to finish everything was first class. Couldn't fault anything.

Laura United Kingdom

Fantastic rooms, and the level of cleanliness is 10/10. Breakfast is the best a hotel can offer along with dinner. WoULD recommend to any friends and family. We will be back again and looking forward to it already.

Matthew United Kingdom

First impression….what a great location with sea view and a short walk into town centre. Welcomed by a complimentary glass of fizz…a lovely touch. Staff all super nice and inside accommodation and public areas beautifully decorated to a really high standard. We stayed in Room 1 with beautiful view out across the water. Breakfast…starting to run out of words to describe but food was simply amazing and great quality. Great way to start the day. The Honesty bar is well stocked and the outside seating area overlooking the water Is perfect to enjoy your drink. This boutique, 9 room, hotel is simply gorgeous and you definitely get what you pay for (and more). If you want to stay in Oban, stay here….we will definitely be back. Thank you No.26 for a great few days with you. See you all again!

John United Kingdom

Everything! The service, facilities and atmosphere were all absolutely perfect.

Pippa United Kingdom

Everything was what we hoped for. From the room, the service, the facilities, the breakfast, Absolute 1st class and 5 star service all the way.

George United Kingdom

Our room was available before the check in time so it was good that we arrived and could go to the room. Breakfast was very good. We could have all we wanted in the menu as many times we wanted. Like a buffet but served at your table. Location is very good. Walking distance from the beach, golf course and town.

Gustavo United Kingdom

Outstanding breakfast, delivered to the room, and staff observed covid guidelines by explaining they couldn’t bring the food into the room.

Andrew United Kingdom

Very special hotel. Rooms, food, staff and facilities are amazing. Felt very privileged to be in there. To be same place as many golfing greats. Feel amazing.

Simon United Kingdom

bath in our room would be too deep for any elderly occupant. Shower controls could be more user friendly and intuitive. would prefer if windows could open rather than tilt. staff all excellent, friendly, polite and helpful.
