Simply loved staying here. The room was beautiful and well equipped and so comfortable I didn’t want to leave. I really cannot wait to stay here again. Our room had views to die for and our stay just wasn’t long enough. We met Mark and he was lovely and very helpful. A very nice host indeed. We also met the lady servicing the rooms and she was lovely too. I cannot fault this place at all and wish I had found it years ago… I’d be a regular return guest by now if I had only discovered it sooner. The owners go out their way to make your stay enjoyable.
Tips:We love Cuan Mor ( don’t think that spelling is correct) on the front near The Columba Hotel and we had fab fish and chips from the Oban Chippy. We recommend ordering the coffee and pastries delivered to your room door for £6 each. Well worth it! Even got some fruit thrown in which was very thoughtful of the owners and very welcome. We love a sail to Mull. We also love Ganavan Sands and Dunollie Castle with both being practically on the doorstep.

Lovely stay and a calming view. Very comfortable beds. My favorite was the abilty to read in the chair while looking directly out the window to the water view. The kettle and amenities in the room were much appreciated. Highly recommend and would definitely stay here again. Would have liked a cutting board and knife in the kitchen area so I could cut some fruit, but that's clearly an extra. Thank you for a lovely stay.

Lovely view, fine, well appointed and quiet room, easy parking and a lovely location to walk to and from Oban and its diverse and fine seafood outlets. The Barriemore proved an ideal place for the event we attended at the Corran Halls. All in a great place to spend a relaxing couple of nights.
Tips:After the usual walks and another visit to Dunollie Castle and grounds we also managed to patronise our usual haunts, Ee-Usk, (best to book if timing matters), The Shore tearoom and the Seafood Hut. We can also recommend the straightforward value and generally pleasant ambience of the Corryvreckan. Their â€Freedom’ breakfast with tea, toast and marmalade is simple, tasty and very good value.

Lovely Hotel/Inn on the water. We enjoyed out stay and the owners/manager were very accommodating. We reserved on a last minute and were pleased with the response and ease to check in. It is on the far end of the walking shopping district, but still very easy to walk and we were even able to park on the street in Oban. Weather was a bit nasty due to the storm, but we really enjoyed out stay. Bed was comfortable, amenities of coffee maker and refrigerator and nice shower as well. Liked the window where we could see the town. Only negative was walking up 3 flights of stairs, but after all the dining, we needed that!!
Tips:We thoroughly enjoyed the Olive Garden which won top awards for 2023 dining. It was an easy walk. The mussels there are the best!

The Barriemore is a beautifully maintained Inn, and the hosts do a fantastic job of making the guests feel welcome, as well as offering very useful information on enjoyable things to do and see while in Oban. The Barriemore is in a gorgeous location on the coast of Scotland, offering beautiful views of the harbor and the islands of Mull and Kerrera. Also, because Oban is a port city, there are many daily boat trips one can take to numerous islands that are full of historical sites and beautiful natural landscapes. This was our second trip to Oban and both times we have stayed at the Barriemore. We hope to return to Oban sometime in the near future and plan to stay again at the Barriemore. Cary & Molly
Tips:Ask the host Mark and he’ll have plenty of suggestions for things to do and see in the area around Oban. My wife and I particularly enjoyed hiking to Dunollie Castle, taking boat tours to the islands, and finishing our day with a light meal and a good ale at the Oban Inn or one of the many restaurants in town that offer delicious seafood options.

We had a fantastic stay at Barriemore Guesthouse! The free parking right outside the property was a huge plus, making it easy to move our belongings and saving on parking costs. The self check-in and check-out process was seamless, with clear and straightforward instructions. One of our favorite spots was the sunroom, where we enjoyed the majestic views of the sea and port, watching boats and ferries pass by. We also loved sitting on the benches at the front patio, overlooking the beautiful sea—such a peaceful experience. Although our room wasn’t sea-facing, the view from the side of the house was just as lovely. Our room was clean, spacious, and stylishly decorated, with a bright, airy bathroom. We especially loved the two wingback chairs by the window, where we could relax with a view of the side garden and a glimpse of the sea. A thoughtful touch was the sherry left in the room for a nightcap, and the mini fridge was a rare and welcome feature, even stocked with a chilled bottle of water. Though the property doesn’t offer food, the dining room is available for guests to use, complete with a microwave and cutlery. We also appreciated the easy, scenic walk along the coastal pathway into town. Overall, Barriemore Guesthouse provided a comfortable, relaxing stay, and we highly recommend it for anyone visiting the area!Sss

Although only there for one night, we loved Barriemore Oban. The room was well equipped with a fantastic seating area looking out over the sea. Check in and out were very straightforward and communication beforehand was clear. Would love to stay again if and when we’re back in Oban.
Tips:We were walking in the mountains on the way to Oban. Ben Cruachan is within easy reach, but wouldn’t be good for beginners. In Oban, we went for drinks at the View (which has an amazing view). Staff were lovely too. We ate at EE-USK based on recommendations from friends. Food was excellent. In the morning, we had coffee and cake at Hinba. Coffee was very good, as was the baking!

Spent a wonderful 6 nights in ground floor sea view room. The Barriemore continues to raise their very high standards. This time, took advantage of the coffee/pastry breakfast option, delivered to the door by 7am - an excellent start to the day. Weather was wonderful too so we could sit outside on the terrace watching the sun set - magic!

Beautiful room with a spectacular water view of the harbor and coast! The bedroom was quite large, with a comfortable bed and easy chairs at the window to enjoy the stunning view. The bathroom was equally large with a walk-in shower and a dressing room as well. You can also take in the water views in a glassed-in sitting room filled with comfy chairs and sofas. While there is no breakfast served, there were lots of thoughtful snacks and drinks. The Barriemore is situated along the esplanade a bit away from the main town, and is quiet and charming. Highly recommended!

Great location and within easy walking distance to town along the water’s edge. Great views across Oban Bay and very quiet at night. Facilities were clean, comfortable and the rooms are spacious. The owner was friendly and helpful!
Tips:There are lots of cafes and restaurants in town. We went to EE-USK which is a seafood restaurant at the pier and the food was great. Take a boat tour around the islands and an Oban Distillery tour if you like whisky. Walk up to the tower for great views over Oban and the bay.

We thoroughly enjoyed our 3 nights stay at Barriemore. They no longer serve breakfast, due to family commitments, but that was no problem, There is a large room on the ground floor, which has all the equipment you want, all you need is the food! Rooms were spacious and spotlessly clean, with everything we needed. A fridge was an added bonus, so were a can of Iron Bru,a decanter of sherry and some Tunnocks wafers! I hadn’t eaten them, since I was a child! The owners were around every day they, live next door, so are also on hand, if needed. Parking is available for guests Barriemore is an easy walk along the prom to the centre of Oban, with plenty to see and do. It’s also an excellent place to catch the ferries to other islands I would definitely recommend Barriemore.
Tips:We ate at EE-USK and would definitely recommend it. It’s an independent, family owned restaurant with excellent food and very friendly and knowledgeable staff Oban Seafood Hut is a must! We had the seafood platter for two, which was delicious, loads of seafood, prawns, mussels, crab, lobster langoustines etc

This is such a nice place to stay in Oban. Our room was beautifully decorated (as is the whole building) and was extremely comfortable, with everything you could need and a stunning view out over the water. Barrimore's situation at the end of the esplanade makes it very peaceful, although only a nice stroll from the bustle of the town and harbour. Jan and Mark had explained the family commitments that keep them from being in the building very much when we booked (although they had absolutely no need to) but they had a very good welcoming system in place to ensure we knew everything we needed and had everything we needed. We would love to come back and wouldn't hesitate to recommend a stay here.
Tips:Ee-usk on Oban harbourside is highly recommended.

Lovely hotel at the end of the promenade. We had a large room at the from of the hotel with beautiful sea views over to Isle of Kerrera. Good size ensuite shower room. Large lounge with extra supplies and nice conservatory to relax in. Hosts Mark &Jan provided excellent information of restaurants, pubs and facilities in Oban. Short stroll along the promenade into town with plenty of places to eat and drink. Locals are friendly and welcoming. Would recommend.
Tips:You must try Markie Dans for food and drink. Staff are very friendly and work really hard. Also has live music some nights. It’s very popular so I would advise booking if you want food. Ferries are very reasonably priced to Mull snd other islands.

I have stayed several times at the Barriemore in Oban, and I intend to stay there again in the very near future. The owners are very friendly and welcoming, and the Barriemore itself has absolutely everything I require for a peaceful holiday in Oban. I have no hesitation in recommending the Barriemore in Oban to you, as you will not be disappointed, and will be well looked after.
Tips:The Lorne Bar in Stevenson Street does great bar meals, and will not cost you a fortune. I would recommend the olives, home made soup, and the Macaroni & chips, absolutely fabulous. I was chatting to some American holidaymakers on the Promenade, who were looking for a "traditional friendly scotch pub" :-) I directed them to the Lorne Bar it fits the bill perfectly.

Lovely room, great view over the bay. Comfortable bed (my pressure points usually scream all night due to uncomfortable hotel mattresses - not in this case). Nice little welcoming touches added (in particular - a wee decanter of sherry). We've been staying off and on in Oban for over 40 years and it has taken us all this time to find this little gem. Can't wait until next time.
Tips:We used Cuan Mor and Piazza for meals - both excellent. We were fortunate enough to watch the antics of a pod of dolphins right in front of our window. Watching the sun set over the bay (with the bonus of a ferry sailing into view) is just sooooo Scottish and a sight not to be missed!!

We had room 6 which is top floor and extra large. Very nicely decorated and the views are fabulous. The bed is super comfy and the ensuite with bath has a fab view and is a really decent size. The side window views the town in the distance and the front views the straights towards Kerrara. We love watching the ferrys go past the window and the ever changing view. Barriemore being the last guesthouse on this road means it is a fairly quiet location compared with the other hotels on the front.We have stayed at several guest houses on this stretch and this is the best.
Tips:So much to do in, and from Oban. Ganavan sands is a fab beach with a fab view and good facilities. Take the ferry to Kerrara and walk to the castle and cafe. The 3 Isles trip to Staffa is fantastic, definitely worth the money. The green shack on the pier for seafood. Take a trip down to Ellenbach to see the slate Isles. Bring suitable clothing, it can be wet, cold, windy, sunny, warm, you name it!

The Barriemore is an excellent small hotel. We had several opportunities to meet Mark. He was very friendly and helpful. Our room was very clean and comfortable. We had a nice view over Oban Bay. It was a nice, relatively short walk to the main part of town, and a short walk, in the other direction to Dunollie Castle and the Dog Stone.
Tips:Reservations at fancier restaurants in town are recommended. EE USK was excellent if you like seafood. We took the 3 Isle Tour from CalMac Ferries, which was very nice and included Mull, Iona, and Staffa, where we saw puffins and Fingal's cave... both amazing. Oban is a wonderful town and the Barriemore is an excellent place to stay.

No complaints at all, the bonus lounge with microwave is very thoughtful, comfy beds with duvets that actually covered our entire bodies - it was all perfect. If I'm blessed to be back in Oban one day I will not stay anywhere else. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

I have regularly holidayed in Oban over the past 40 years, and only recently discovered the Barriemore, I'm so glad that I did. This historic house is absolutely beautiful inside and out. My room (Room 7) had a dual aspect with fabulous views of the shipping entering and leaving Oban Bay, as well as incredible sunsets to the North over the islands of Kerrera and Mull. Mark the owner is a really friendly and welcoming lad, I will be back at the Barriemore in September.
Tips:The Piazza restaurant on the Pier is really nice, however if you want to meet some of the local characters then pop over for dinner to the Royal Hotel on the Square it's well worth a visit, so is the Lorne Bar in Stevenson Street just around the corner from the Royal. Take the ferry to Craignure on the Isle of Mull, have lunch at the historic Craignure Inn, then catch the next ferry back to Oban, a great way to spend a few hours, and see some fabulous scenery. Oh and do not miss the Oban High School pipe band, when they play in the Square at night, seriously talented musicians all of them!

After careful consideration, we chose to stay at the Barriemore for several reasons. First, the location is outstanding. The second was the appearance of the rooms in the photos and the third was the price. We were abundantly happy to see that our decision-making was right on point! This family run hotel is at the end of the row of hotels and bed-and-breakfast in Oban and just across a narrow road from the water. Our room was spacious, had very thick carpet, and a California king size bed. The first we’ve even seen in Scotland. I believe over here they might call super king. It’s what we have at home and it was very comfortable, had a down comforter and provided a solid 9 to 10 hours of sleep each night. The bathroom is large and has a big walk-in shower. All of the accessories and accoutrements are top-notch and well supplied. The towels are thick and fluffy, and the wall heater kept them nice and warm. A quick boil pot with coffee and tea supplies We’re waiting for us. There’s also a small fridge which is handy. Also, it was really quiet… Which is not always the case with those fridges. The views from our room were outstanding, and we had a double aspect. One window faced across the street to the ocean, and the other faced Out the side of the building across a house to another section of ocean. Both views were beautiful. There are a couple of large leather chairs and binoculars for your viewing pleasure. The room was super quiet, especially since we were on the very top floor. There is no elevator, so it is a walk up, but totally worth it. This hotel is running a slightly different manner than others you might be used to. Make sure you read their business model/check in policies and it will make complete sense. The benefit of this type of idea is that they’re able to give great prices compared to other places in the area. Restaurant choices are abundant, though they do tend to lean towards fish as you are right on the coast, and it is a fishing harbor. That said, there’s also some great local pubs within “stumbling distance“ đź‚. We enjoyed every moment of our stay, and have no regrets whatsoever. We would highly recommend staying here for anybody who is going to be in Oban. If we ever return, we will book here for sure!
Tips:Be sure to eat at the Oban Seafood Hut (the green, one on the dock by the train station) best seafood in town and the best prices. Other than that, just hit up Google for local pubs and restaurants. The area is stuffed with them. The whole town is very walkable.

What a gorgeous hotel! Beautiful views from our room to the Loch and islands. It is far enough away from the center of Oban to be quiet and feel away from the busy-ness. The room was so comfortable, spacious and beautifully appointed. I would go back in a heartbeat!
Tips:We can see how Oban could get pretty crowded during the peak months but it is definitely worth it. The easy access to island tours and the local attractions, plus great food, make it a great place to experience a Scottish port. Book your restaurants early, they aren't necessarily open or available when you want them. Dunollie Castle is a must do. And check out Lismore, a tiny island with a big heart.

This is our second stay at the Barriemore and will definitely be returning. We were initially booked to stay for 2 nights but the heavy rain caused road closures. A quick call to Jan and they put us back into our original room for another night. Jan was excellent in keeping guests informed of the road situation, contacting Traffic Scotland and Bear Scotland and provided useful update on road closures for our journey home. Jan and Mark truly care about their guests, going over and above to make sure our stay was as comfortable as possible. The check in/out system is efficient and works really well. Top quality tea, coffee and toiletries provided for our stay. The rooms are cleaned to a high standard especially for being a dog friendly hotel. Thank you for the warm hospitality and we look forward to staying again soon.

There was a fridge in the room with cold water, tea and coffee and little touches like caramel wafers and iron bru and a ripple of sherry. 2 comfortable chairs and a little table. Loads of storage too
Tips:Oban distillery was well worth a visit.The whisky is nice.

Truly the loveliest guest property that my wife and I have ever stayed in. Everything was pristine and elegant; self check-in went seamlessly; there is an option to order a scran box for breakfast; thoughtful welcome touches in the room; lots of information available on things to do and see in the area; the owners are friendly and helpful. We stayed in room A and I don’t have the words to describe how beautiful and spacious it is with a full view of Oban Harbour. Our only regret is that we were not able to stay longer.
Tips:Many restaurants and pubs are within walking distance of the Barriemore and a lovely walk it is along the harbour. Also shops and day trips nearby. Lots of info in the room and entryway. We particularly liked Marky Dans (recommended by the property owner) for a casual pub meal and good beer.

We had such a wonderful stay here. It was beautiful, spacious, very comfortable and equipped with everything we needed. We were in the self catering apartment yet they still left croissants and bags of coffee and tea for us to make in the morning. The couple who runs the place was very nice and gave us recommendations when I asked and accommodated an early check in for us. I, like other travelers who left reviews, thought that it looked a bit out of town according to the map, but it wasn’t and in fact the walk to and from town was beautiful along the water and perfect for walking off all the big meals! Also a very easy walk to the Dunollie castle that we very much enjoyed.

Returning guest and not disappointed. While a full breakfast no longer a choice this was clearly explained at time of booking and repeated when completing the self checkin firm and indeed made our stay more flexible as not tied to be in breakfast dining room by a particular time plus the room rate was adjusted to reflect this. The Barriemore is a very welcoming guest house , decorated to a high standard with some lovely touches around the house - notably the small decanter of complimentary sherry together with 2 Tunnocks caramel wafers & can of IrnBru- plus a relevant nautical theme throughout given the property overlooks Oban Bay with excellent views of the Calmac ferries plus other sailing boats. The conservatory is a very quiet relaxing room again looking out to the Bay with complimentary coffee / tea bags available plus small fridge & microwave evident if required. The bedroom was ideal - again very clean / tidy with a nice walk in shower in the bathroom plus toileteries provided. Both mattress and pillows were very comfortable which made for an excellent nights sleep. TV / radio provided were also welcome.
Tips:The Oban Inn is a particular favourite of ours - traditional pub interior with excellent choice of beer/ales plus whisky etc. Nice and relaxing place if you can get a table outside to sit with a few drinks and just people watch or admire the view towards the pier. Inside the pub we enjoyed the live trad music played by locals and after moving to the upstairs lounge had some very nice fish and chips plus haggis, neeps & tatties. We also eat in the China Restaurant opposite the distillery. While the food was very nice with dishes fulsome the interior was quite shaby with a damp smell and definitely in need of some upgrading / decoration and overall general tidy. The Correvechan ( Wetherspoons pub ) is ideally located on the pier. A typical Spoons set up with very reasonable food / drink prices.Generally busy but great to sit at the window or outside seating area with a drink overlooking the ferry pier and bay.

Oban: spend time relaxing, some interesting shops to suit different tastes, McCaig’s tower, relax and walk around - take in the bay. From Oban: take a ferry to explore other isles eg Mull. Or take a small boat trip to see the wildlife. Go inland: Inveraray, Fort William, Ben Cruachan, and places in between, the list is endless. Have a drink/meal at the Creagan Inn overlooking Loch Creran. You’ll have a great time whatever you do.

Quite simply the best value accommodation in Oban. Location is perfect situated on the promenade with a very flat walk of around 15 minutes into town. The rooms are spotlessly clean with everything you would need for your stay. Extra little touches add to the pleasure such as Irn bru and caramel wafers (a taster from Scotland) and some sherry. The breakfast tray is terrific value and a great start to the day. Jan and Mark are at hand if needed and the staff cleaning rooms etc are very friendly. We are already looking forward to staying here next year.
Tips:We recommend pre booking restaurants as they are very busy this time of year Cuan Mhor is the only one I can think of that doesn't accept bookings. Our favourites are Olive Garden, Piazza, Eeusk, Taj Mahal and Bar Rio. There are plenty of other lovely places to eat and I'm sure everyone has their own preferences.

We enjoyed the lounge, comfortable seating and a view of the sea. Mark was so helpful and made us feel welcome beyond just the basics. He was quick to recommend walks and had tips for dining which lent a personal touch to our experience.

We loved our brief stay at the Barriemore. Our room was spacious, clean, and well appointed. The location was perfect. We wished we could have spent more time.
Tips:We chose Oban so we could take the ferry to Mull and journey with Turus Mara to see puffins on the island of Lunga and Fingal’s cave on Staffa. Everything worked out very well.

First of all, Mark and Jan were attentive and friendly hosts. Couldn't ask for better. Second, our sea view room was beautiful. The only problem with it was it was so comfortable and the view was magnificent that we were tempted to just sit there, look out at the water, and relax. But we overcame the temptation and went on several beautiful walks near Oban and Glencoe. This was our second stay at the Barriemoore and we certainly look forward to our next visit. Outstanding!
Tips:Lost Valley in Glencoe is a great short hike, Etive a little longer and less people, and Boots Bar is memorable.
Would Recommend: Yes

One of the nicest Inns that we've ever stayed in. Had 3 windows looking out to the harbour and tempted to sit in the comfy chairs by the window all day. Everything looks new and very clean.

Along the Esplanade in Oban, a number of grand old houses built in the late 1800’s line the street and look out on Oban Bay. The Barriemore is one of these, which have been turned into guest houses. We had a first story room (above ground floor), with big windows looking out on the bay and beyond, to the Isle of Kerrera and in the distance, to the Isles of Lismore and Mull. Our room was large and beautifully appointed, with a king sized and very comfortable bed. It had large chairs at the windows as well as a pair of binoculars, for looking out the windows. There was an old fireplace and armoire. A small refrigerator in the room was very useful. The bathroom was large and very nicely decorated. There is a back room with space for bike storage, ice, and glassware. From the house, it is a short walk into town, to the shops, restaurants and port, where one can get a ferry to Mull or other islands. We took a ferry to Mull, then a launch to Staffa to see Fingal’s cave and the Puffins on the isle. Mark and his wife Jan, the innkeepers, were very prompt in answering questions. We had a nice chat with Mark who gave us great advice for driving in the area. We hope to return to Oban, to do more of the activities the area has to offer, and will definitely stay at the Barriemore.
Tips:Delicious fish and chips at Norries and Oban Fish and Chips.
