We stayed in Tarbert for 1 night due to the location to catch the ferry to Islay from Kennacraig which is 15 minutes away. Really spacious room and breakfast is delivered in the morning at your specified time you just complete your menu requests the night before.

The location was perfect for a day trip to nearby Oban, which should not be missed, particularly for the seafood and Oban Distillery tour.
