The location is five miles outside of Oban and much quieter in a good way. I would return!

Our room was large and comfortable with a great view of the harbour. The restaurant serves a classic Scottish breakfast, and the dinners (menu changes daily: we stayed 3 nights) showcase the local seafood and meat. The food was very good. There is a modernised but not antiseptic bar and a very comfortable residents' lounge. Service throughout was excellent. It is not cheap, but good value for money if you want to push the boat out a bit for a special break away.

We were at the end of a very long trip, a trip that started 4 weeks before at an upscale, boutique…read moreMiami Beach hotel, then 2 weeks in Cunard's Queens Grill, a couple of nights at a very posh London Hotel, a nice place in Edinburgh, a quirky (but great) Portree "guest house," and a couple of nights at a rather fancy "restaurant with rooms" on the Isle of Skye. No place was nicer, no one was more friendly, and no hotel was as warmly welcoming as The Barriemore in Oban. From the jovial fellow doing some outside work who helped us get parked straight and who then got us geographically situated, to Marc who got inside and showed us around, to Jan, who I believe checked us in, everyone was so nice and friendly. We were in Room A which has a bit of an up-charge -- but, if the room is available it's well worth it. Room A even has a writing room/dressing room! The extra large bathroom was well-appointed and clean. Best of all it had a shower stall and not a tub that would require a struggle to get to in and out. On a cold morning you'll especially appreciate the towel warmer. The bedroom was extra large with a king size bed. What made the room extra special however was the two comfortable sitting chairs facing several large windows looking directly out on the Oban Esplanade, the harbor channel and the entire Oban harbor. Enormous ferries regularly barreling up the channel were remarkably near the shore, so close you don't need binoculars to get a good look -- except that binoculars are provided! There's some nice sherry in the room, whisky in the hallway and coffee equipment with all the necessary supplies in the room -- plus some extra treats. The breakfast room was bright, cheery and well decorated. There's a nice cereal/fruit/yogurt buffet plus a menu for table-served, cooked-to-order items, including, of course, a full Scottish breakfast. My scrambled eggs with 3 sausages were well-cooked and delicious. I especially liked the unusual (to us, anyways) berry compote (?). The Barriemore is at the very end of the Oban Esplanade meaning it's a 10-15 mins. Walk down to the restaurants and shops. But especially if you've been on the road a bit too long, or if for any reason you need a comfortable and friendly respite, the walk is definitely worth it.

My family and I had been making an extreme road trip around Scotland and were stopping in Creag Mohr. This was a relatively short drive up the road and well worth it! You may sit indoors or outdoors. The indoor seating could have been in a number of beautifully decorated rooms that were reminiscent of old libraries and afternoon parlors. The outside garden seating overlooked the beautiful Port Appin and was close to Castle Stalker. (Get your cameras ready!) The food itself was really only ok as far as I was concerned. It was a lot of food and quite heavy. One of my road trippers got a little sick (not sure if it was a combination of driving, fatigue, and food). Still, the rest of us enjoyed the fresh air, the gorgeous grounds, and the respite that was offered. I would caution my possibly obese or handicapped fellow Americans here in that the bathrooms were upstairs. It might take significant effort to make your way up there, and there is only one stall for both genders to share, as I recall.

HARRY POTTER FANS, listen up: This hotel is WALKING DISTANCE from the Harry Potter Bridge here in Glenfinnan. You know the one. FLying car, chamber of secrets, Hogwarts express? Yeah, that's right!! NOT ONLY THAT, but it is right on Lock Shiel which, in addition to being absolutely stunning, is the lake that Hogwarts is on. Compare pictures to this lake to photos from the second task(mermaids) from Goblet of Fire....you will SCREAM! Enough about Harry Potter. This hotel is quaint, homey, and incredibly warm and lively. The entire staff goes above and beyond to make sure that your needs and desires are met. From the included breakfast every morning to the offering of packed lunches for your daily hikes the team here is a cut above the rest. The rooms are large with beautifully updated, modern washrooms and showers. The tea kettles and assortment of coffee and teas(in room) are brilliant and the perfect touch. The main dining area/restaurant is delicious with terrific daily specials. The bar area/casual dining area is just as great and features traditional, Scottish, live music some nights. This place will remain at the TOP of my list not only for myself but for recommendations to anyone that may ask. Thank you to the brilliant team behind this beautiful hotel.
