Frommer's Review

This is your best bet for an overnight in Oban. Located on the outskirts of town, and opening onto panoramic views of Oban Bay, this stone house, built in 1780, was once owned by the duke of Argyll. Many antiques grace the public rooms. The good-size guest rooms are filled with tasteful reproductions, and coordinated curtains and bedcovers create a pleasing effect, often in sun-splashed golds and yellows. All have midsize private bathrooms, some with both tub and shower. Children under 12 are not welcome as guests.

The hotel is famous for its restaurant; during the summer, rooms are held for patrons who have dinner reservations. Bookings without dinner reservations are taken only when there are openings.

Facilities:
Restaurant; bar; room service; laundry service; nonsmoking rooms

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
