Oban Bay Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"Stayed one night and had the car valet parked. The car was on time in the morning. Pub in the hotel was excellent and our breakfast was just right. As Americans, we are used to huge breakfasts but this was a great change from feeling over stuffed! Hotel was right on the water with amazing views! Highly recommend a stay at Oban Bay Hotel!"
