Really good Dining Experience

“During my stay, I had the pleasure of dining at the Oban Inn's restaurant, and the dinner was absolutely good. The selection of PEI Mussels as a starter was perfect-fresh and flavorful, and the extra bread provided allowed me to fully enjoy the savory broth. Although the salmon main course was a little dry for my taste, the overall dining atmosphere was lovely, and I enjoyed an amazing crème brûlée to top off the meal.” view full review

I spent a lovely morning at the spa, enjoying rejuvenating facials and finding the space serene and beautiful. However, the hotel experience had its ups and downs, with both excellent spa services and frustrating gaps in customer service, especially at the front desk. Despite the lovely grounds, the room needed significant updates and better attention to customer care.
