Barriemore Oban

We had a three night stay at Barriemore. The room was lovely, comfortable and beautiful sea views. Extra little touches like Tunnocks biscuits and Irn Bru plus a decanter with Sherry which was lovely.|The host was very friendly and helpful. His recommendation to eat at Pier House hotel, Port Appin resulted in us enjoying a fabulous seafood lunch in glorious surroundings. |The fact it was room only suited us, and there is an area downstairs to prep food if you want. However the town is in easy walking distance with a good range of places to eat. Markie Dan’s is worth a visit for a drink and they also offer a good food menu.|We intend to return to Barriemore hopefully next year.

Highly recommend. Thank you for a great stay. From the complimentary water in the mini fridge to the sherry and irn bru with tea cakes in the room on arrival, the thought and care was noticeable through out. The room was clean, deep carpeted and with fluffy comfy beds. The high backed chairs facing the windows were a great asset to the room, enabling thoughtful watching over the sea front. Would love to return!

My mom and I had a magical stay at Barriemore in Oban! We stayed in one of the seaview rooms (2 twins) and the view was absolutely gorgeous, especially during sunrise. The room was clean, comfy, quaint, and stocked with sweet treats, cold water, and coffee making supplies! Oban is such a cute town and Barriemore is situated at the end of the "main strip" which made it a quiet and peaceful stay, yet easily accessible via a quick walk to the hustle and bustle of the downtown area. While you are in town, you HAVE to eat at Coasters Bistro & Bar!

We loved Barriemore, the location, our room, it was so comfortable and had everything we needed, the bathroom was beautiful. We had a spectacular view of the sea from our room. We had several|online conversations with Mark and Jan. They were so kind and helpful. We have been travelling in Scotland and stayed at a number of B & B’s hotels and nothing compares with it. We would loved to have stayed longer. It was also a very good price.

Booked a last minute stay for only one night. We were in awe of the room and location. Harbour views (with provided binoculars to spot incoming vessels). Clean, spacious room. Communication was excellent and thorough. Check-in was simple and efficient. Recommend!

Great location, amazing view from the Seaview Room, guaranteed parking with every room. Very good price value. Spacious room, very comfy bed, super clean and a very good quality complimentary sherry in the room. Rooms are quiet, no noise coming from neighbours.|There is a lounge downstairs which has a cosy atmosphere.||Car park can be busy and tight if you have a bigger vehicle like us. |The only thing we were missing is breakfast but we understand that they are only offering room only options. We have found a nice brekkie spot 10 min walk away (Costers) but in the rain we decided to drive out of town to Poppies Garden Center as parking in town can be tricky or almost impossible when it is busy. Overall Barriemore exceeded our expectations and we definitely will return with our doggies as they are dog friendly too. Thank you Mark & Jan, we had a lovely time in Oban!

Imagine waking in a bed with crisp white sheets and gazing out your window at a crystal blue sea with 4 masted schooners sailing past. You could be in the south of France or if you are lucky you are in Room 3 at Barriemore on the quieter part of the seafront in Oban . The concept of bed and no breakfast ( pastries and coffee are available if required ) is a wonderful way to start your day. No rushing about trying to get a shower and down in time for the last slice of bacon. Wake at your leisure and take a short walk into town to one of the many cafes recommended by your hosts,. The no breakfast theme also keeps your costs down. As stated by many other reviewers the check in is so simple and there is ample car parking. I have never stayed in accommodation where I have not found found some small fault. Barriemore is the exception - it was faultless and immaculate. Nice wee touches like a tin of Irn Bru and bottled water in the fridge. Cannot wait for a return visit.

We had the most wonderful 3-night stay in Oban at this hotel. The room was large, clean and the whole interior of the building looked very new and well looked after. Even though we booked a non-seaview room we had partial views of the sea which was lovely. There was tea, coffee, caramel bars and even Irn Bru and sherry provided in the rooms, and a mini fridge with a large bottle of water. Fresh fruit was available in the morning which was a nice touch. There was a large social room and conservatory with tables, extra provisions, bike storage, microwave. We were lucky with the weather so could sit outside on the front terrace with our takeaway dinner. Free parking was available at the front of the property, and the location was perfect for visiting Fort William, the Glenfinnan viaduct, and getting the ferry to the Isle of Mull. We did notice a noise in our room on our first night which disturbed our sleep (we have sensitive hearing and are light sleepers!). This turned out to be a temporary issue with the central heating. Once I informed the owners, they were quick to respond and so helpful in finding us an alternative room so we could sleep better. The hospitality was really above expectations and they went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable. Big thank you to Mark and Jan, we hope to visit again in the future.

We were at the end of a very long trip, a trip that started 4 weeks before at an upscale, boutique Miami Beach hotel, then 2 weeks in Cunard's Queens Grill, a couple of nights at a very posh London Hotel, a nice place in Edinburgh, a quirky (but great) Portree "guest house," and a couple of nights at a rather fancy "restaurant with rooms" on the Isle of Skye. No place was nicer, no one was more friendly, and no hotel was as warmly welcoming as The Barriemore in Oban. From the jovial fellow doing some outside work who helped us get parked straight and who then got us geographically situated, to Marc who got inside and showed us around, to Jan, who I believe checked us in, everyone was so nice and friendly. We were in Room A which has a bit of an up-charge -- but, if the room is available it's well worth it. Room A even has a writing room/dressing room! The extra large bathroom was well-appointed and clean. Best of all it had a shower stall and not a tub that would require a struggle to get to in and out. On a cold morning you'll especially appreciate the towel warmer. The bedroom was extra large with a king size bed. What made the room extra special however was the two comfortable sitting chairs facing several large windows looking directly out on the Oban Esplanade, the harbor channel and the entire Oban harbor. Enormous ferries regularly barreling up the channel were remarkably near the shore, so close you don't need binoculars to get a good look -- except that binoculars are provided! There's some nice sherry in the room, whisky in the hallway and coffee equipment with all the necessary supplies in the room -- plus some extra treats. The breakfast room was bright, cheery and well decorated. There's a nice cereal/fruit/yogurt buffet plus a menu for table-served, cooked-to-order items, including, of course, a full Scottish breakfast. My scrambled eggs with 3 sausages were well-cooked and delicious. I especially liked the unusual (to us, anyways) berry compote (?). The Barriemore is at the very end of the Oban Esplanade meaning it's a 10-15 mins. Walk down to the restaurants and shops. But especially if you've been on the road a bit too long, or if for any reason you need a comfortable and friendly respite, the walk is definitely worth it.

First time in Oban & was lucky to find this B &B. Perfectly situated on the end of the esplanade. Rooms are beautifully appointed with a bottle of sherry to enjoy. Tom ( owner) orients you to the house and the area... he's a world of information. Loved sitting on the front porch with the house provided scotch. Very warm cozy and spotlessly clean... breakfast was yummy too!

We loved this place. I can stay anywhere that is clean so this place exceeded my expectations. There was free wifi, free parking right in front of the building, breakfast choices were abundant and included in the price. It was nicely decorated and the staff was friendly. So glad we made Oban a 2 night stay. Such a lovely little town.
