All boast exceptional views and are but a short drive from Oban. Lagnakeil is an ideal accommodation for budget conscious travelers. Family travel tips: There are four styles of lodges, 3-star to basic. Some are recently refurbished, others could use a bit of maintenance. Not all have the same facilities. Make a full inquiry.
Knipoch Hotel (B&B)
What Knipock Hotel lacks in luxury it makes up for in personality. This 22-room country inn is small and charming. The food is exceptional; breakfasts more than plentiful. The owners are welcoming and go out of their way to accommodate children. Knipock Hotel is nestled on the shore of Loch Feochan just 6 miles from the bustle of Oban.

Oban Caledonian Hotel (Hotel)
Hotel Reviews
| Review
The Oban Caledonian runs hot and cold. It's ideally located, near the train station and right on the waterfront. This landmark hotel commands a stunning view. It is standard 3-star. Some rooms are noisy. The service is uneven. The food is just good enough. In short, the Oban Caledonian is ok for a night in transit. Families booking a longer stay may want to look elsewhere.
