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.

Great communication from the start, even though we didnt meet Jan and Mark, they provided us with clear check instructions and answered all questions we had. The room was lovely, so much attention to detail.....the sherry was a lovely touch and welcome after a long drive. Other touches like the sweeties, fruit and umbrellas (which i did use) in reception area was also very nice. Room was clean, bed was very comfy and views from room stunning. Breakfast is not provided at the moment, the owners make this very clear on booking, plenty options within a short walking distance. Only stayed one night and we were very comfortable, will definitely return😊

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!

A fantastic room (Room 7) with a great view of Oban Bay with parking allocated.|Room was spotless and ready early.|Great touch - a decanter of sherry - very much enjoyed.|Bed very comfy, towelling great and toiletries very nice.|Great soundproofing between rooms too, and great double glazing - never heard the rain storm.|Overall, a perfect base for a stopover or an extended stay if you’re popping to Mull or Iona for a day away. Hosts very welcoming and attentive.

We recently stayed for a couple nights - Oban was our favourite stop on our trip around Scotland! The hotel was lovely, clean, well kept, and in a great location. It’s just a short walk along the water into the town centre. Check-in was easy and well described. We also really appreciated the package with the helpful details provided about local spots to visit. We’d happily stay here again.

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!

The bed is sooo comfortable, there's a nice selection of teas. I like the drinking water glass bottle and the lack of reception (makes no fuss). When I did need to contact the property they responded quickly. There's a lovely lounge to sit in with dog beds for pet owners

When we arrived we did a happy dance!! The hosts obviously know how to provide every little thing to make the stay as comfortable as possible. The view from our room was exactly as we saw on our booking website. We found the bed super comfortable. So many “little touches” that contributed to a special memory

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.
