Guest ratings and detailed reviews

Feedback about Oyster Inn Connel from previous guests about their experience.
Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Oyster Inn is often praised for its convenient location just north of Oban, making it easy to access the main routes and only a 10-minute drive to Oban town. Many guests enjoyed the modern, rustic-looking bar and restaurant, noting the excellent food, while others appreciated the tea and coffee facilities, sometimes even finding hot chocolate and cookies. Some guests in rear-facing rooms have mentioned a less desirable view or occasional noise, but the spacious rooms, comfortable beds, and great showers generally provide a positive experience.

friendly staff superb breakfast road noise radiator issue
The staff were very friendly and helpful. I noticed they were always ready to assist with requests. The food was good. I had my evening meal in the restaurant, and the quality was high, beautifully cooked. Breakfast was also superb. The staff worked hard to ensure you had everything you needed.
The road was a bit of a downside. It meant keeping the window closed because of the noise. I had some trouble controlling the heat in the room. The radiator needed attention. Only part of it was working, not ideal.

charmed by the view and the bar!

convenient location cute bar nice sea view
i liked how convenient the location was. i needed to travel north over the bridge and south. the bar were cute with its staff, it was great. the room presented a nice sea view, i have to say. the recent upgrades made everything look fresh and clean.
the first room we were given was in an annexe, it was behind the bar. the space was small, dark and a bit shabby.
