Each en suite room includes a TV, tea and coffee making facilities, and a small refrigerator with fresh milk and juice. Room 10 features a large sitting area, huge bathroom, and a king-size four-poster bed.
Location
The property sits on the seafront promenade, a 15-minute walk from Oban Railway Station and a 10-minute stroll to the town center with shops and restaurants. Ganavan Sands beach lies within 2 miles, and Glencruitten Golf Club is a 5-minute drive away. The location provides direct access to walking trails and ferry services to the Isle of Mull and Iona.
History & Character
Built in the 1880s, the Victorian property retains original features such as crown moulding, stonework, and a traditional lounge with a log fire. The building sits on a private road at the quiet end of the esplanade, sheltered by mature trees. The guest house provides on-site parking and a common room with bay window seating.
Guest Experience
Returning guests receive specialized hospitality, including advice on local restaurants, pubs, and boat trips. Complimentary whisky or sherry is offered upon arrival in the common lounge. The hotel provides in-room breakfast items including porridge pots, croissants, and fresh orange juice for a self-service start to the day.
