Lovely overnight stay
My wife and I stayed for one night at The Oyster Inn and thoroughly enjoyed it.
The rooms are quite small but are spotlessly clean, the bed's comfortable and the walk in showers are a decent size and the views overlooking the loch are spectacular.
Our highlights however was the genuine friendliness of all the staff and the food was incredible...all at a reasonable price.
We'll definitely stay there again if we're in the area!

I always stay here when I’m working in the Oban area. The rooms are clean and tidy, especially the new rooms with the terrace or balcony, lovely for a sit down in the evening sun with a glass of wine.
The food in the bar is always tasty with good sized portions with a good selection on beers and wines. Breakfast is top quality too.
Most importantly, the staff have always been brilliant here, always polite with time to spend with you for a wee chat and service is always prompt.
I will continue to stay at this property when I’m in the area.
