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.

Oban is an absolutely beautiful coastal town with great access to the rest of the Highlands. The ferries were very easy to use and we had a wonderful time exploring the Isle of Mull and travelling past the Isle of Kerrera on the way. Also make sure to head towards Dunollie Castle and take the tour round - a great time if you enjoy history or stories of the clans.
All of the food establishments that we went to were delicious and had great options. Highly recommend the ceilidh dancing on a Monday and Thursday night as it was a cracking time.

Oban is on a very pretty bay.
Oban is on a very pretty bay. It was really busy on a beautiful Saturday and the people were friendly and helpful. Coasters and EE-usk accepted us for food/drinks with no reservations!
We did not get there early enough to explore the attractions.
The train station and ferry terminal were very efficient and helpful.
We discovered a choir and orchestra concert which was a real treat!
Room was comfortable and quiet. Window opened for plenty of air and a pretty garden view. The bed was comfortable and had plenty of pillows, as well as an additional throw blanket in case of chill. Bathroom was immaculate, good sized shower. It was exactly what we wanted for our stay, a reasonably priced, nicely comfortable room.
And the breakfast for the additional charge was really worth it! We stayed at a 4 star hotel in Glasgow the night previously, and the Maridon House breakfast was better and cost less than half!
Fantastic town centre location. Seaviews but even my view back over town & uphill was scenic.
Good cooked breakfast in a nice breakfast room with view to Sea. Wait staff pleasant, helpful & efficient.
Single room well furnished & comfortable.
Shower reliable & hot.
Old Victorian Hotel with same era lift (elevator) much appreciated for arrival/departure with luggage but between that I somehow preferred to walk the 56 stairs to my 2nd storey room. 😆
Next door to very helpful Oban Tourist Info Office open 7 days.
Hotel location in Oban
Staff very friendly and helpful.
Rooms were warm and beds comfortable.
Breakfast was OK but could have had scottish touches.
Plenty of spacious public rooms which are comfortable with excellent views over the Oban harbour and town.
Tea and coffee in the room was a nice touch which doesn't happen in a lot of hotels nowadays.
I cannot fault this hotel it was fantastic in every respect. The welcome was great, the room was perfect and it's in a superb location loverlooking the loch and close to Oban. Our ferry to Mull had been cancelled and it was exactly what we needed and great value for money. A brilliant stay!
This hotel was wonderful! We enjoyed it so much. The owners even left a whisky tasting for us from nearby Oban distillery as well as crisps and sodas. The view out the front windows was fantastic. The size of the rooms was very large. We would definitely highly recommend!!!
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.
Neat apartment; well designed and equipped Really comfy bed, and kitchen, sitting and dining furniture all very practical.
Easy to check in and out via the nearby Ranald Hotel. Really central; a short walk to the centre of town and the shore.
Staff were friendly and very helpful on arrival. Room was lovely, clean and well presented. Bathroom very clean and modern. Great to be able to open windows.
Reasonable price for overnight parking in the off-site carpark behind the hotel.
Staff were wonderful and helpful. Made our stay amazing. We went when it was very cold and the room was very warm and cozy. Meal was really good. There was a indoor pool but never used it. Will book again for the same hotel.
It was fun staying in a beautiful, historic hotel. Oban is AMAZING, and staying in the heart of the city was exciting. The guy who checked us in when we arrived was funny, engaging, and enthusiastic.
Spent 2 days in Oban. Hotel was really clean and staff helpful. Great location with parking. Breakfast was very good and plentiful. Would recommend and would stay here again.
