Lovely overnight stay

My wife and I stayed for one night at The Oyster Inn and thoroughly enjoyed it. The rooms are quite small but are spotlessly clean, the bed's comfortable and the walk in showers are a decent size and the views overlooking the loch are spectacular. Our highlights however was the genuine friendliness of all the staff and the food was incredible...all at a reasonable price. We'll definitely stay there again if we're in the area!

The positives far outweigh the one negative, so I’ll start with those. The staff was lovely, and the restaurant was very good for dinner our first night. The breakfast package was wonderful. The location was great, as well. Also, the shower was terrific. Our one negative was our sleeping situation. I booked a room for three people, and our daughter had to sleep on a very squeaky cot.

The hotel and it's staff were lovely. However after booking through Expedia what we believed to be a balcony room with a view, we were swiftly changed and downgraded to another room because we had a dog. Yet the room charge stayed the same? I am sick and tired of booking through 3rd party site's using the correct methods given, to be constantly penalised and clearly downgraded because of our dog. How can it be consistently acceptable for dog owner's to not only be downgraded to what the "hospitality" business call a "dog friendly" room, which usually has the view of a dingy car park and a considerably stained carpet , to then charge extra for the so called privilege! I'd like to know what exactly the extra charge for a dog goes on as it's clearly not used for a carpet cleaner!

It’s nothing fancy but very clean and comfortable. Staff are friendly and helpful. It’s only about a 20 minute drive from Oban. The restaurant attached to the hotel is very good - food was delicious - recommend you make a reservation for dinner. They do have a restaurant but we much preferred the atmosphere in the pub.

I always stay here when I’m working in the Oban area. The rooms are clean and tidy, especially the new rooms with the terrace or balcony, lovely for a sit down in the evening sun with a glass of wine. The food in the bar is always tasty with good sized portions with a good selection on beers and wines. Breakfast is top quality too. Most importantly, the staff have always been brilliant here, always polite with time to spend with you for a wee chat and service is always prompt. I will continue to stay at this property when I’m in the area.

Liked: Cleanliness
Bedroom was tiny and below car park level. Noisy extractor from kitchen. Booked an economy dog room so didn't expect much. The bed was comfortable. Breakfast was terrible however. Sounded good on menu but bacon only half cooked and most items were barely warm, not helped by serving on a cold plate. My husbands's scrambled egg was bright orange! Reconstituted egg?? Will not stay again
