A picturesque location about 10 minutes drive from the centre of Oban , right next to a lovely beach which was great for paddling , collecting unusual shells and rocks with the kids and den building. There is a lovely little walk above the beach which takes you past a local airport with some interesting planes . The sunset was beautiful and restaurant and bar has a terrace that overlooks the beach. The food was excellent with wide variety of choice for breakfast . The decor is very atmospheric and traditional looking and the kids enjoyed sitting in the game room playing chess .

I found the pillows a little thin but brought my own to replace .

We found it as a base to walk in GlenCoe, aiming for Buachaille Etive Mor but others could have been closer but others were too expensive or booked up. I found I could have a continental breakfast and a cooked breakfast that suited to my restricted diet - I refused meat and eggs for 70 years which was often awkward. A veggie cooked meal without meat or eggs, pastries and cereals with fruit available. An evening meal from the hotel wasn't available but they permitted us to order delivered food and use their dining facilities. Simple.

Only woken too early by a false fire alarm - but the problem was quickly and efficiently dealt with - almost immediately tod us very quickly that it was a false alarm. The location could have been indicated the position of the hotel more clearly, with more obvious signage.

Plenty places to sit inside and outside of hotel. Short walk to lock etive. Feel you are sitting underneath the bridge. Food was fresh and tasty, bar staff lovely. Plenty outside seating to enjoy the sun. Stayed in the junior suite. Newly refurbished and was absolutely spacious and beautiful. So much natural light. The wallpaper and panelling gives the room a modern but boutique feel. Would highly recommend this room. Big cupboard space too to hold your luggage and plenty coat hangers.

Wad told at check in thst Bar shut at 10pm...

The breakfast was delicious, bed very comfy. Staff very accommodating, the lovely touch that the cleaners did was setting up my daughters pillow, teddy & eyemask up on the bed.

The windows in room 10 particularly in the bathroom didn't shut properly & it was very draughty which made the room very cold, I had to shut the curtains to keep the draughts out. The staff gave us a heater which made a big difference but the windows really need looking at there was a big gap at the top right of the bathroom window when it was closed. I wouldn't usually bother but it was very stormy & raining on this afternoon.

The location is stunning with great views. The weather was a massive advantage admitedly, the sun was shining and it was nice and warm. Our room was large and comfortable and the bed was really comfortable. The staff were all very helpful and friendly and it's clear how much they want to make sure people want to enjoy their stay. Good bar service with a nice range of drinks. The restaurant was quite busy for dinner but it was all managed really well. The menu was varied and good, and the food was absolutely excellent. Defintely worth a visit even if just for a meal.

I have to say that I'd struggle to find anything that I didn't like - one minor point is that I felt the shower cubicle in our room was quite small, so difficult for a bulky person to navigate - just something to be aware of though - it in no way spoiled the visit which was realy lovely.

A handy location and a lovely view from yhe dining room. The young staff in the evening were good and trying hard, we were asked to open our own wine as the person serving admitted she had failed miserably. We didn't mind at all and suggested she bring a few more bottles so we could do some training. 😀 Seriously though we know how hard it is to recruit service sector staff in Scotland post Brexit and we really appreciated the kind nature and hard work of the young people serving us.

The beds were very hard. For some reason the chef ground a lot of salt over my cooked breakfast thus spoiling it. Without tweezers it's impossible to pick lumps of salt crystals out of the underside of a breakfast mushroom!

Lovely quirky hotel on the waterfront, big & spacious rooms, dining area & plenty of lounge areas to sit & relax 😀 All of the staff were lovely & friendly & went above & beyond to help make our stay comfortable & they fed us really well too!

It's a little bit isolated but there is a bus close by that's takes you into the centre of Oban.

We stayed for two nights. As we had to leave early on the first day in order to catch the ferry to the Isle of Mull the young proprietor offered to provide a packed lunch (or breakfast) and leave it in the fridge for us. Very considerate, thank you! Dinner would have been possible but we had made other arrangements in Oban, instead. We did have a drink in the hotel bar, though! Breakfast the next morning rich and satisfactory.

We had a wonderful 3 night stay. The location was perfect with amazing views. The staff were extremely friendly and accommodating. We stayed in the suite, which was perfect, it was very comfortable, spacious and spotlessly clean. Breakfast was served to table each morning, cooked fresh to order & was really lovely. We loved our stay at the Lochnell and would highly recommend it ❤

We liked everything ♥️
