“Wonderful luxury B&B in a stunning location.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 November 2011

Just spent a lovely weekend in the Alt na Craig house in Oban. The house itself is beautiful, and has been tastefully converted into a contemporary luxury bed and breakfast.

We stayed in Kererra, which I believe is the best room in the house. A massive room with lovely high ceilings and the most amazing en-suite bathroom with large walk-in shower and roll-top bath. Stunning views over to Kererra (the island) and over Oban Bay.

In addition, remarkable service from the staff. I believe the owners Sandy and Ina were on vacation, so the hotel was left in the hands of friends who did a wonderful job. A lovely friendly welcome, outstanding breakfast and generally first class all-round service.

The hotel itself is an easy 15-minute walk from the centre of town, in a very quiet neighbourhood so it has the feeling of being in the country, with the benefit of many nearby restaurants and bars.

I wouldn't consider staying anywhere else if returning to Oban.

Room Tip: Kererra is the best room.

“Gorgeous house, goregous location!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 October 2011

Alt na Craig is a professional luxurious B&B that didn't disappoint. Our room had great views over the bay and the house itself was only a 10 minute walk into the town. Breakfast was superb, a great choice on the menu and cooked to perfection. Having a very fussy other half, he was very impressed with the service and experience and the food! Many thanks!!

“Another Wonderful Stay!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 October 2011

We spent 4 days here on our second visit and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Beautiful house and very friendly owners and staff. The house is designed for comfort and gracious living!


Our room Lismore was beautfiul with views over the harbour and the gardens. The breakfast is immense!!! We are already looking forward to our next visit.

Room Tip: We had Lismore this time. Double aspect view over harbour and Mull and other islands.

“Luxury in Oban”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 October 2011

person found this review helpful

I could have stayed mcuh longer than the two nights we had allocated. Alt na craig was the nicest B&B during our 8 days in Scotland. The house sits on a hill above the Oban overlooking the Harbor. Great views. The room we were in was spectacular Beds were super comfy and the ensuite was modern and lovely. There is a slight 50 yard hill if walking from the main road but easily traversed. We only met Sandy and his breakfast staff who were attentive and created any breakfast you desired. I can't think of a single improvement. The House was a little more expensive than most 5 star but easily worth it.

Have to agree with those, like us , followed our sat/nav to the wrong Glenmore Road. Must happen often as the folks we asked at the original destination were well aware in directing us.

Room Tip: Ask for a view of the Harbor
