Top Ganavan Sands Hotel Reviews

Dalrigh House

Dalrigh House

10/10 Excellent
"We absolutely loved our stay. We visit Oban as often as we can but have never stayed here before. We were given clear instructions prior to arrival and had no problems reaching our room. The room was spotless and well appointed and we felt safe and cared for. We had a beautiful view from our room and it’s just a short walk to the main part of town. We loved it so much that we’ve already rebooked albeit at the accommodations around the back of Dalrigh House as it was booked up for our dates. Thanks for a wonderful stay, and keep up the great work :-)"
