We were awed by the views overlooking busy Oban harbor as we drove up the hill to the hotel. The hotel is located far enough away from busy part of Oban to be quiet and restful, but close enough for quick trips to town. Inside, it kept getting better. The owners Michael and Marion were genuinely friendly and welcoming, and we were given a comfortable corner room with big windows to enjoy the views. Furnished with antiques in a formal style, it is the kind of place to enjoy curling up with a drink from the well-stocked bar and a book. I would have preferred having a shower in the bathroom instead of a tub, but that was a minor inconvenience. They don't serve dinner, but Marion got us a reservation at a fantastic seafood place within walking distance. The breakfast the next morning was one of the best we had in our 2 week trip to Scotland. I would highly recommend this place for a romantic weekend retreat.
