Our Inspector's view

The Oban Bay Hotel enjoys an enviable location sitting right on the esplanade looking onto Oban Bay and out towards the isles further afield. This wonderful hotel offers comfortable and luxurious surroundings. Bedrooms differ in size but all are modern with thoughtful extras as standard. The award winning Grill Room offers the finest Scottish beef along with locally landed, fresh seafood. Pre and post-dinner drinks in the Atlantic Bar offer picture postcard views than cannot be rivalled. This dog friendly hotel offers chargeable valet parking alongside two electric vehicle charging points.

About the area

Discover Argyll & Bute

This is a county that’s all about awe-inspiring landscapes and unique island cultures. Ex-Beatle Paul McCartney put the area on the map when he wrote Mull of Kintyre, recorded in 1977 with the local pipe band backing his group. Kintyre is a long, thin peninsula that points south from the mainland, sheltering the mouth of the Firth of Clyde from the open sea. It’s very nearly an island, with just a narrow isthmus connecting it with Knapdale, to the north.

Tucked away at the end of the Firth of Clyde, Bute has been the holiday playground for generations of Glaswegians and is home to some of the finest golden beaches anywhere on the west coast. It may not boast the wild mountain grandeur of some of Scotland’s other islands, but Bute is blessed with swathes of heathery moorland and a range of low, fertile hills, perfect for walking and studying the local wildlife. Such is the variety of landscapes that make up this county.

To experience the sights and sounds of the area, visit Dunoon in late August for the Cowal Highland Gathering, when more than 150 pipe bands from all over the world compete for prestigious trophies.
