A Victorian Hotel built between 1865 and 1901, the Columba Hotel overlooks the town of Oban and Oban Bay. It has a 24-hour front desk, a traditional restaurant and 2 bars.
The rooms at the Columba have an en suite bathroom and a hairdryer. Many rooms have sea views and others look out over the wooded hillside.
The property's Bar Rio is a traditional Italian bistro, which serves coffee and cocktails, as well as children's meals. Guests can watch Sky sports on the projector screen in the bar. Takeaway meals are also available.
The Oban Distillery, which was built in 1794, is a 5-minute walk from the Columba Hotel. Oban Rail Station can also be reached in 5 minutes on foot.
Couples particularly like the location — they rated it 9.7 for a two-person trip.
