    If there was a way to provide breakfast it would be brilliant.

    The room was excellent, comfy beds and seating. The coffee bags chocolate fruit and sherry were all an unexpected pleasure. The view from the room was amazing, providing binoculars was a nice touch.

    The location of this accommodation was very good and straight across the road from the water. Watching the ferries depart to the islands was a bonus. Walking distance to the main part of town, woodland walk, castle and the Oban distillery. There was free parking and the rooms were well-appointed and spacious.

    We loved it all. The only slight bit of feedback would be the mattress and pillows were not very comfortable.

    The hotel was great. The room was lovely. The special touches in the room of the sherry, iron bru and chocolate really elevated the experience. The location was perfect!

    Being very picky I would say the shower wasn’t as good as the rest of the room and the lack of staff (which was explained ahead of time and fine) does lower the atmosphere.

    The room was exceptional. The bed was super comfortable. Nice small touches and the view was amazing. Great sized room.

    Nothing really the only downside to our mini break was the bad weather which certainly isn’t a reflection on the Barriemore or the owners and probably a hire car would have been useful as well.

    Nice warm comfortable room. It was nicely decorated with a lovely hot shower. Every day the tea and coffee was replenished and nothing was too much from the owners. Will definitely recommend the Barriemore to friends and family.

    Fabulous hotel, perfectly located toward the end of the esplanade. Beautiful room, spacious, comfortable, clean, welcoming, absolutely incredible views of the bay and Kerrera island. The binoculars are a great addition and one soon gets used to policing the frequent boat and ferry traffic. Our room has separate areas so whether work or leisure there was ample space. Enormous bathroom, very well lit and a joy to use. Mark the host very pleasant and welcoming. No ‘old people’ or cooking smells and you would never know the hotel accepted our canine friends. The lovely touches of complimentary sherry, Irn Bru and tunnocks give you a warming Scottish welcome. A shared communal room has extra condiments should you need a top up of quality teas and coffee. Complimentary sweeties and fruits in the entrance hallway a lovely touch. A totally relaxing experience and we have already recommended the place to family and friends. Oban itself is a lovely, clean, tidy and welcoming place. Looking at the pristine water you would never guess this is one of the busiest ferry ports (to the isles) in the country. Wonderful
