The Manor House was built in 1780 as the Duke of Argyll's Oban estate. Great consideration has been given to preserve the elegance, charm and atmosphere of its past. There are eleven tastefully decorated bedrooms each with en-suite bathroom. Informal lunches are served in the Bar and lovely Drawing Room which, like the beautifully restored Dining Room, have magnificent views over Oban Bay, the adjacent islands and the mountains of Morvern and Isle of Mull. more » « less

The Manor House in Oban is without doubt one of the best small hotels in Scotland. I have travelled in Scotland as a Photo-Journalist for over 40 years - and experienced some of the best and the worst hotels we have to offer. The Manor House is a Jewel on the West Coast and the BEST hotel in Oban. I... more

Out of the 4 places that we stayed in during our 6 day visit to the Highlands of Scotland and back, this was the worst. We have rated it such because it promises so much yet delivers so little. In another review i mention the Ballachulish Hotel, but at least there you pretty much know what you are getting when... more

Very good hotel in relation to the area (Oban is a bit of a back-water and caught in a time-warp). Hotel clean and comfortable. Booked a superior sea view room which provided magnificent views out over the bay. Room was spacious, reasonably modern and the bed was very comfortable. Only stayed one night on a B&B basis. Breakfast selection was... more

My wife and I enjoyed our recent stay here immensely. The room was cosy and very clean and the staff very helpful without being intrusive. The food was also of a high standard although i did not appreciate having a screw-top on a £24 bottle of red which i had to open myself at the dining table. Other than this... more

We came here for hiking in the absolutely breathtaking Scottish Highlands. We booked rooms at Manor House after reading reviews, as we probably would appreciate a comfortable bed and and little luxury after a long day in the hills. A really wise decision. You will wake up smiling in this place. The beds are incredible, you won't want to get... more

A well-placed , beautifully decorated & well maintained property. Staff were very friendly although some of the part-timers were a bit 'rough around the edges'.Bedroom was smallish & decor a bit fussy - however , the bed itself was exceptionally comfortable. Public rooms were very welcoming indeed - other than the bar , which looks inviting in brochure & web-site... more

We stayed at the Manor House in order to catch the first ferry to Mull in the morning. We were very pleased with the location and the room was lovely, if a little on the small side. The bathroom was very small and a bit dated, but everything we needed was there and the view was stunning. The dinner was... more

This establishment is certainly the jewel in Oban's crown. Located very centrally and only minutes to the town centre by foot, Manor House is perched in a small hill along side the harbour. The house is inviting and the staff efficient and friendly. The room is very generous, very well pointed with quality furnishings, a lovely large LCD TV with... more

Our second visit to this splendid hotel located in a superb location overlooking the sea, quiet but only a few minutes walk from the centre of Oban and the ferryport. Stunning views from the seaview rooms and worth paying the extra. Very good and professional service from all the staff including the manager. Spotlessly clean bathroom with top notch toiletries... more

We have just visited this hotel and can't rate it highly enough. Our room was very cosy with a lovely view across the bay and a very comfortable bed. The hotel decor is very tasteful with the use of strong colours in the dinning room and bar area which worked well with excellent lighting and attention to detail. The food... more
