Amazingly helpful and friendly staff. Real old fashioned service with humour and a smile. Stunning location with views of the bay from all the public rooms and some bedrooms. Charming building - with a lovely tour by David. Lounge and bar with comfortable settees and wood fires were a destination in their own right. All the guests loved these cosy areas. Living the dream of country house life with attentive service. Breakfast was also excellent with proper service instead of a buffet. Short walk into Oban and the ferries. We will probably go back.

Nothing - all good.

The Manor House was absolutely wonderful! It was the epitome of a luxury B & B. Our room was clean and comfortable, with a stunning view of the sea. There was a full bar downstairs and they also have a restaurant. Our breakfast was delicious! Stephen, our host, was personable and accommodating—he anticipated our every need! He made reservations for us to dine in town, and served us from the bar each night. We left early the third day, and he packed us a breakfast to go! Hand-made sandwiches, yogurts, fruit, breakfast bars, water and juice. Absolutely incredible!! If I could give a rating of 12 out of 10, I would do that!

I loved everything!

Great location, beautiful property, amazing views, comfortable beds, quiet space, delicious breakfast! The absolute highlight, however, was the staff and David in particular. David proved how wonderful he was before we even arrived by calling to make sure we were okay when we were running a few hours late from when we said we’d be there. He then went above and beyond for our entire stay, providing recommendations, suggesting new Scottish beers/whisky based off what we had already ordered and liked (and was doing the same for other guests’ gin preferences), and generally being a delightful person to talk to. We learned so much about Oban and Scotland just by chatting with him! We will definitely be back!

Gorgeous historic hotel with elegant rooms, great baths, very comfortable beds, and a lovely garden. The staff was welcoming and helpful. The breakfast was superb: abundant and delicious. We enjoyed sampling whiskeys at the bar and followed the bar tender's excellent advice--he was knowledgeable and fun. We stayed in two rooms--one with a view over the bay and one with a view of the woods--and enjoyed both. The beds were noteworthy for their comfort and great pillows. The town center is a very easy ten minute walk; a nice stroll before and after dinner around the harbor.

Nothing. Our stay was comfortable, restful, and pleasant.

The staff were exemplary- courteous, friendly, informative and very knowledgeable about the area, activities, restaurants and whiskies. They took great care of us. The chef and restaurant are top notch. Best meals we ate during our travels in Scotland. The Manor House is a beautiful, elegant and comfortable property with a great view of Oban bay. Conveniently located Short walk to town and all the shops, wards and restaurants as well as Oban distillery

The staff is what makes the facility so incredible! David and the team are attentive and work tirelessly to help you achieve your destination experience. I had done research about visiting Isle of Mull or taking a less-traveled hike of Gylen Castle. We had a hunch that the Gylen Castle trip would be more suited for us (i.e Ferry, five-mile-hike versus car ferry, drive on busy island and see lots of cool stuff on Mull) Bottom line is that you can't go wrong either way, but David encouraged us to visit Gylen, and then made arrangements to get us the little ferry across. He was beyond helpful and we are so glad we choose Gylen Castle. The food at the Manor is awesome; and we were pleasantly surprised when we had to leave early to find a Reception Area worker chasing us down with a 'to go' breakfast ! The rooms are cozy, in the style of the historic manor; the views of the harbor are stunning. (P.S. if you do venture to Gylen Castle --- DO NOT use the gravel path to the right to get up to the Castle -- find the grass side on left -- as you're coming from the little tea cottage - as a form of reference).

Everything was great !

Everything. We were marooned an extra day in Oban by a huge storm that closed all roads in and out and train service. A local cabbie remarked that we were staying in the best place to be marooned. He was right. A small hotel with beautiful public rooms, comfortable bedrooms, very nice restaurant, convenient location overlooking the harbor with a short walk to the heart of town. Above all were the wonderful staff: Daniel, David, and Steven and the rest of the crew cannot be equaled in attentiveness, diligence, and friendliness. They made room for us when we couldn’t leave town, monitored road and rail conditions, and helped in so many ways. This is the place to stay in Oban.

Nothing.

The Manor House Hotel is a charming property, with thoughtful, modern details in the rooms (direct USB connections for devices, for e.g.) and beautiful views, but what makes it truly exceptional is the team that runs it. Daniel and Beatrice were gracious and friendly hosts, but it was David who truly stood out, offering superlative, personalised service. We were a large group, including 4 teenagers, and both David and Steven were amazing in dealing with them. The adults in the group could truly relax and not worry about the kids as we could see that they were safe and well taken care of. The property also has an excellent fine dining restaurant on the premises, we had a fantastic dinner there and also great breakfasts. I must also commend the back-end staff, obviously the kitchen was brilliant, and housekeeping was spotless during our stay.

It was a cozy stay, a little away from the waterfront but an easy walk to town. The property was beautifully restored, the room was comfortable and had an excellent view of the ocean. Breakfast was delicious. The person checking us in was welcoming, doubled up as a bartender was wonderful. We lucked out and saw the Northern Lights which was the highlight of our stay.

Daniel had an exceptional knowledge of local gins and whisky, and took the time to go through them with us and make recommendations. Breakfast and dinner were both excellent and the rest of the staff were similarly lovely. Views from the room, lounge, and outside were all terrific…town, gorse-covered mountains, local islands, sailboats, and a helicopter landing close enough to see the whites of the pilot’s eyes
