Prehaps if the management of this hotel spent more time organising the redecoration of the bedrooms and some cleaning of the bathrooms instead of replying to Tripadvisor comments they might have a better hotel.

This was my second time staying at the Oban Bay. First time was for a wedding, it was so good I brought my girlfriend for a weekend away. Staff were second to none, food was excellent it was just a shame about the weather but it is Scotland in October after all. No doubt I will return. more
