The Oyster Inn was a quick stop in Oban for us, and was very convenient on our way to the highlands. The staff were very friendly. The inn is in Connel, just outside of Oban, and is more of a residential area so there’s not much to do if you’re planning on staying longer.

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!

The positives far outweigh the one negative, so I’ll start with those. The staff was lovely, and the restaurant was very good for dinner our first night. The breakfast package was wonderful. The location was great, as well. Also, the shower was terrific. Our one negative was our sleeping situation. I booked a room for three people, and our daughter had to sleep on a very squeaky cot.

Elton

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The hotel and it's staff were lovely. However after booking through Expedia what we believed to be a balcony room with a view, we were swiftly changed and downgraded to another room because we had a dog. Yet the room charge stayed the same? I am sick and tired of booking through 3rd party site's using the correct methods given, to be constantly penalised and clearly downgraded because of our dog. How can it be consistently acceptable for dog owner's to not only be downgraded to what the "hospitality" business call a "dog friendly" room, which usually has the view of a dingy car park and a considerably stained carpet , to then charge extra for the so called privilege! I'd like to know what exactly the extra charge for a dog goes on as it's clearly not used for a carpet cleaner!
