Barriemore Oban

Lovely place to stay. Very accommodating in a short notice reservation. Very clean place and shows the love of the owners. At the end of the "town" area but easy walking distance for us. Even with cold and rainy weather, it was a very nice stay. No elevator so may need to prepare to take an easy walk upstairs. Nice area to sit and relax inside and outside.

Despite booking a room without a seaview it was very impressive when the door opens. The room is spacious and is so comfortable. There are lots of little touches that will only be known to people who stay there. Above all else the stand out feature is the cleanliness. This place is exceptional - and it takes dogs!

We stayed for one night in the Barriemore hotel. Everything was great. We had a top floor room at the front of the house, with magnificent views of the bay. There were proper lazy chairs in the window with binoculars, which means you can sit there for hours. The room was spacious, the bed was excellent, the shower was fine (being on the top floor it took some time to get hot!).|There were also some nice little touches, like Tunnocks bars, Irn Bru, and a little decanter with some liquor. And thank goodness, no plastic bottles of water, just normal bottled tap water!|And in the morning, a fruit bowl to kick off the day.||My only minor comment would be that we booked breakfast, but the following day got a message from the owners that breakfast was no longer available due to their personal circumstances. On request, you can get a pastry and coffee in your room.|The owners have been very clear about this, and I have all sympathy for them. But it would have been nice if the booking site had told me at the time of booking rather than afterwards.

Absolutely loved our stay at the Barriemore and Oban! We booked the 2 bedroom suite last minute and we are so so thankful we did! Travelling with two under two we needed more space and this apartment room was perfect, clean and comfortable. Bonus is that the view was insane - we loved watching the ships come in and out of the port!

Very comfortable room, spacious and well appointed. Cleanliness was excellent and the bed very, very snuggly, just delightful.|The social area on the ground floor was lovely.||Our host made us feel very welcome and was very forthcoming with useful information about the area. A great place to stay.

The room was spacious and decorated beautifully. Our room faced the harbor and it was fun to sit in the comfy chairs by the window and watch the ferries go by. Small touches like sherry and coffee and tea in the room made us feel pampered. We would definitely stay here again.

Absolutely stunning stay at Barriemore in Oban. Room is gorgeous and spacious and has little gems to make it extra special. Very clean too! The views are spectacular and spent hours just relaxing by the window looking at the views. Will be back!

We had a great stay. Rooms were very comfortable and clean. We had nice weather during our stay and enjoyed sitting on the benches in the front court yard watching the ferries go by. Close proximity to downtown and restaurants.

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.
