We stayed here for one night recently prior to catching the ferry to Lochboisdale on South Uist. We had a very warm welcome, the room was absolutely charming with a view over the harbour. Everything was spotless and warm. Our meal in the restaurant was first class, with the chef accommodating my special dietary requirements. We will definitely recommend this... More

Just look at Tripadvior scores, and then judge for yourself whether the "1 terrible" is from this planet and the 3 average were just having a bad day. The hotel is top class. Rooms are as they should be (and smaller rooms are at a cheaper rate). Everything you need, comfortable, clean and retaining character. The staff were friendly, trained,... More

We stayed for two nights and cannot fault the country house style, unobtrusive but very attentive service, lovely meals - a five course dinner taken (overlooking the harbour) in leisurely style with no rush and small but comfortable rooms. Ask for the window table when booking dinner. The only issue is the creaky floors on the upstairs landing, but a... More

What a lovely setting to arrive in after a long day's drive! Up the hill from the town, with lovely vistas over the water towards the castle. The staff was incredibly accommodating, and took good care of all three of us. Delicious dinner, delicious breakfast, and lovely people to talk to everywhere we went - wouldn't hesitate to stay here... More

I stayed here overnight and had a lovely dinner in the restaurant. The cleanliness was excellent, both the public areas, room and bathrooms were spotless. The food was delicious, the waiting staff were polite and the meals were served very quickly. Overall, I would not hesitate to stay here again.

We stayed at the Manor House Hotel in Oban: You feel you are welcomed in a Victorian home, with a nice bar area overlooking the bay and the city; Nice garden. Allan the barman has very good advices on your stay, restaurants, itineraries, etc... Nice cozy lounge. The city is walking distance, and you can walk along the sea going... More

We actually stayed here for two nights in April and two in May. It was a pleasure, as always: comfortable room, great views, pleasant lounge with welcoming fire (the weather wasn't great this year), excellent food and very helpful, friendly staff. The Manor House is also an ideal place to stay when travelling to the Western Isles as it couldn't... More

We visited the Manor House last night, being treated to a meal by friends. We were delighted to see the same outstanding service and food as previously. The staff greet you and make you instantly feel at home in the comfort of the gorgeous bar or lounge. You don't feel rushed to make choices and nothing seems to be too... More
