The Barriemore enjoys a splendid location as the last hotel on the Oban seafront heading north towards Ganavan on Corran Esplanade. From its superior vantage point, it commands magnificent panoramas towards the islands of Kerrera, Lismore and Mull. The house was built in 1895 for John Stuart McCaig, a wealthy Oban banker who financed the construction of the famous local landmark known as McCaig's Tower. The house exudes an opulence in keeping with its late-Victorian origins.

There's an elegant and comfortable residents' lounge with a range of books and magazines relating to local places of interest. The lounge leads into the bar with its warm, cosy atmosphere and attractive lighting. The eye-catching dining room has picture windows overlooking Oban Bay and provides the perfect spot in which to enjoy full Scottish Breakfasts which include such delights as locally produced smoked haddock and kippers.

All the bedrooms at The Barriemore are beautifully and individually furnished, and all have the added convenience of full en suite facilities, colour television, and hospitality tray. Some rooms enjoy a magnificent outlook over Oban Bay.
