The best accommodations Oban

This house, which dates from 1780, was built for the Dukes of Argyll. It sits on the bay of Oban, from which Kerrera Island can be seen. Its interior is sumptuous and elegant, and its excellent cuisine (you have to taste the fish soup) is due to the chef owner. A garden, a bar and a lounge-library are at your disposal. As prices vary greatly depending on the period, it is highly recommended to consult the website. Also note: the rates are degressive from 2 nights and the establishment has half-board offers.

Overlooking the entire city and its beautiful bay, Dunheanish Guest House is proud to welcome you to its elegant Victorian villa with the utmost hospitality. All six rooms have en-suite bathrooms and four of them even have a four-poster bed. Some of them have fireplaces and beautifully carved wooden furniture. Binoculars or telescopes allow you to admire Kerrera and the surroundings. The town centre, with its restaurants, pubs and shops, is a 5-minute walk away. The garden is accessible in summer.

Carol's B&B, Aspen Lodge, invites you to step away from Oban (5 min drive) to enjoy the breathtaking scenery and a cocoon of softness. The 3 rooms are located in an extension of the house, all spacious, very comfortable and nicely decorated. A vast tourist documentation is at your disposal and your hostess does not lack good advice: restaurants or gourmet tea rooms, castles, hikes. She makes breakfast a moment of great greed with, in particular, delicious home-made waffles.

It is, without a shadow of a doubt, one of the best youth hostels in the country. The Victorian building has a lot of charm and the facilities are practical and modern. The location facing the sea provides superb views of the islands of Kerrera and Mull, especially from the pleasant shared areas: the kitchen, living room and dining room. The dormitories and private rooms are quite comfortable and the clientele includes young backpackers as well as families and retirees. Perfect to stay in Oban without breaking your budget!
