From the moment we arrived at No. 26 by the Sea in the town of Oban, it was clear we were in for a delightful stay. Greeted with a sparkling wine as we checked in, the welcoming ambiance was just the beginning of a truly splendid visit.
This B&B, housed in a beautifully maintained historic building, holds 9 elegantly designed rooms. We stayed in a charming room on the second floor. While the absence of an elevator might be a concern for some, the quality of the accommodations more than made up for the brief climb. The bed was incredibly comfortable, promising a good night’s sleep, and I particularly loved the plush bathrobe provided!
The modern amenities blended seamlessly with the historic charm of the building. The bathroom was stocked with high-quality essentials including shampoo, conditioner, shower gel, and body lotion. Coffee and tea can be prepared with a kettle.
Breakfast at No. 26 is an event in itself. We were asked to order from an extensive menu the night before, and the next morning, a professional chef prepared our selections to perfection. We also loved the common room which features an honesty bar well stocked with wine, gin, whisky, beer and non-alcoholic beverages.
Located in a quiet part of the town right at the sea front, the B&B is just a ten-minute walk from the heart of Oban, with its various restaurants and shops. Parking is available and free of charge.
The service at No. 26 by the Sea was impeccable, the attention to detail and the cozy yet sophisticated design of the B&B made us regret only having stayed for one night on route to the Isle of Mull.
Overall, our experience at No. 26 by the Sea was exceptional. It earns a well-deserved 10/10 for its outstanding service, lovely design, and the overall cozy experience it provides.
Situated in Oban, 600 metres from Corran Halls, No17 The Promenade features accommodation with a terrace, private parking, a restaurant and a bar.

Oban is a city built around a late 18th-century distillery that produces one of the finest single malt whiskeys in Scotland. This normally peaceful town is invaded during summer when tourists use it as a base to visit the Inner Hebrides islands such as Mull, Lismore and Coll, supporting its status as the Gateway to the Isles.
The horseshoe-shaped Oban Bay is sheltered by Kerrera Island with its spectacular Gylen Castle. Award-winning seafood restaurants and lively pubs line George Street and the waterfront of Corran Esplanade adjacent to the harbour.
Take a short walk up the hill to McCaig’s Tower, a structure based on the Roman Colosseum, for the finest views of Oban’s centre and the outer islands. When you get back down to sea level, stroll into and stumble out of the Oban whiskey distillery after sampling the local version of the 'water of life'.
Admire the coastal scenery as you travel a bit out of town to the 7th-century ruins of Dunollie Castle, home of the Clan MacDougall. The Firth of Lorn gives visitors a fanatstic opportunity to try some sea kayaking.
As the capital of North Argyll, Oban has a great selection of hotels, guest houses and B&Bs available on Booking.com.

Oban is a delightful seaside town that offers very good restaurants, shopping (small shops with nice merchandise) and the ability to enjoy the beauty of the bay and all of its activity. Oban makes a great base for exploring the area of walks/hikes, going out on small boat short duration trips to see wildlife, lots of castles to visit or to take the ferry out to the islands. Taxi service is plentiful as are private tour guides.

Bustling little port at centre of Highland area, ferries to outer and inner islands. Train station if no car, plus reasonable bus service to places of interest, eg. Dunstaffnage Castle and Oceanic research facility at Dunbeg etc. Try a ferry visit to Mull and look out for seals , dolphins, etc.
Excellent shops and restaurants, all in small scale and within easy walking distance.
Lots of points of interest and if weather nice, very hard to beat. Great for Families with young children and Oldies as well.

GORGEOUS little port town.
GORGEOUS little port town. Lots of lovely little shops, an interesting war time museum, and excellent food and drink in the numerous cafes, bars, and restaurants. Easy access to travel by bus, ferries, and trains.
Walked (some of us VERY SLOWLY!) up the hill to McCaig's Tower and enjoyed the spectacular views; followed by a delicious late lunch at Cuan Mor.

Absolutely perfect location .
Absolutely perfect location . The rooms are gorgeous with everything you need from tea coffee milk to hairdryer and iron if you need to use one I would give the hotel top marks the staff were all friendly . Unfortunately I we didn't eat in the hotel but we definitely will next time
This is a very nice family style hotel with great views of the water. Room was comfortable, nice bathroom and a walkout balcony with a table and chairs and a terrific view of the water and bridge. Very quiet. They are located about 12 min. from Oban and an ideal location for us. Oban can be a bit hectic. Breakfasts were absolutely wonderful with a wide variety of choices and fixed to order. We ate 2 evening meals in the dinning room and they were delicious. The dinning room looks out over a beautiful lawn and water.
good things were hotel location, on site parking, 24 hour reception, room size/layout, en suite had lovely hot shower (over bath), large bar lounge, friendly staff, the breakfast self service buffet on the first floor had a very good varied choice of hot and cold fair and was excellently prepared. Although the hotel including the room were a little bit tired they had character and the package come in at a fair price. I would definitely return to The Royal Hotel if staying in Oban
Ardmhor House was by far the best accommodation I had during my week-long holiday in Scotland. The room and facilities were clean, modern, and comfortable, the views were incredible, and the hosts, Morven and Mario, went above and beyond to make me feel welcome. When my train out of Oban was canceled the night before check-out, they were more than happy to let me stow my luggage downstairs in the morning for a few hours. Really could not have had a better experience!
First time in our 2weeks in Scotland that a porter kindly offered to carry our cases to our room on the first floor. The receptionist was exceptionally helpful. Breakfast and the service was good and well organized. The bed was comfortable. There was a restaurant that served evening meals and food of good quality. Although the hotel was situated near a main road, we were not disturbed by noise. The ferry terminal was close by.
This is the best hotel I have stayed in, in Oban. It was modern, clean and comfortable. The staff were very helpful.
I liked the breakfast very much - french toast with maple syrup. The location was ideal for me - about five minutes walk from the railway station (and ferry terminal), and also five minutes from the Tesco supermarket, and near the main street of the town.
Great location on waterfront at harbor. Plenty of on-site parking. Some parking allocated to hotel, other spaces in lot were free overnight, so no problem there. Very convenient to local pubs and restaurants. Nicely sized rooms. All around good location and good stay. Really fun little pub fight across the street - check it out. PLUS, Oban Distillery is right there!
The staff were very friendly and nothing was a problem for them the decor of the hotel was beautiful and very clean we will definitely stay again .we had lovely weather for our stay so enjoyed the beautiful scenery the fish platter at the ee-usk restaurant was just so fresh and delicious can't wait for our next visit to Oban.
The hotel was perfect for our overnight stay in Oban. Our room faced the water, which was a plus. Wonderful breakfast and dinner included. Both delicious and filling. Enjoyed the sunset in the bar area. Staff made me a perfect cocktail! Wish we could have stayed longer and we would definitely stay at this hotel if we return.
Perfect location with an unobstructed view of the ocean. The room was beautiful and very well appointed with wonderful touches like a refrigerator with cold water and snacks provided daily. Daily sherry was provided too. The hotel was clean and quiet and we couldn’t have asked for a moreperfect stay.
We have stayed here before which is why we chose to return,the hotel staff are excellent,nothing is too much,the views over Oban bay are superb,we upgraded to a junior suite which was lovely,the indoor swimming pool is fantastic too,all in all absolutely fantastic.
Everything was amazing, great stay. Immaculately clean, and gorgeous decor. The lock box for keys was really clever and fab.
Honestly would book again in a heartbeat, wouldn’t stay in any of the hotels in Oban, would always pick this!
I liked everything about this hotel, could not find any faults. Rooms immaculate good size , spotlessly clean. Staff very friendly, couldn’t do enough for you. Excellent breakfast and evening meal. View onto Oban bay beautiful.
We had a lovely en-suite room, over-looking Oban Bay. The room was in lovely condition and all items worked with no problems.
The Hotel is in a superb location to enjoy Oban.
This is an exceptional hotel and the location is glorious. We know Oban fairly well but really enjoyed returning there and having a night in this beautiful hotel.
The location of the hotel is ideal with stunning views over Oban bay. Plenty car parking and clean rooms. Breakfast was basic but adequate. Staff were lovely.
