This is one of the only places in downtown Oban that had off-site parking which was excellent! Be sure to get a cottage room out back. There's only two. They are fantastic.

Okay for a one night stay but a bit run down

Furniture in room has some significant wear and tear. Shower is tiny (like a small telephone book). Bed was clean and comfortable. Bar only takes card (no cash). Lobby run by same person bartending.
Bed just fits room.
Tiny shower and no place for towels except the sink.
Worn furniture
Wall dirty or marked

My wife and I were incredibly surprised and happy with our accommodations at the Scot. It’s so incredibly conveniently located, completely walkable to shops and restaurants. The accommodation was huge and was complete with every modern convenience needed for a great stay, including a washer/dryer! Very pleased with every aspect of the stay.

My room provided was on the top floor, but there is no elevator. The woman who checked me in carried my big heavy suitcase all the way up the stairs. I'm so grateful for her help. I have some mobility issues with stairs. Everything else is super comfortable. Excellent water pressure, soft fluffy towels, big wonderful bed and bedding.
