Make it easy for customers not the Hotel.
Told I could charge to room then when I ate I couldn’t after first night. Charged my card twice and could not give different invoices for each charge. Not good for businesses. Telling me they could not charge to the room when they obviously could was not a good look either. Annoyed that much I ate somewhere else 2nd night.

Beautiful waterside property - leading to stunning sunsets! Lovely staff - very helpful. Pub had a great atmosphere clearly enjoyed by locals and visitors. Food was good, and generous portions. Great location for access to highlands or Oban and beyond. Good value price for the room, powerful shower and rooms clean and had all we needed. The rooms are tired in places, and disjointed from the main building so you have to walk outside and around the building to get to breakfast or access the car park as access through the pub is limited to when its open.

This would have received a five star because the room we stayed in had a beautiful view and was very comfortable but the breakfast was horrendous. It was truly awful to eat breakfast here, cold toast and coffee with rinds in the French press. Bacon dry like it had been under a heater and my wife’s eggs Benedict had prosciutto ham on it which was honestly cold and disgusting.

Peter was the absolute best! After a nightmare of a flight that went from a 1 hour layover to 9 hours, we arrived late to The Oyster Inn. Peter was so kind. He saved us some food from dinner, that ended at 8 (we got there at 9). It was excellent! I also received the largest pour of white wine I have ever received. Slept incredibly well. Turned out entire vacation around! Thank you Peter, and your wonderful kitchen staff!!
