The Ranald Hotel
About this property
This property is an 18 minute walk from the beach. Situated less than 10 minutes' walk from Oban's famous McCaig's Tower, The Ranald Hotel is set in the heart of Oban town centre and just off the main esplanade.
Free Wi-Fi, an en-suite shower room and a 43 inch Smart TV are featured in each room at The Ranald, as well as our tea and coffee making facilities.
Freshly brewed coffee, warm Scottish pancakes, Our Ranald Bloomer with Avocado, Bacon and Egg, are served at breakfast, as well as many other favourites.
Scenic wildlife cruises can be taken from opposite the Oban War & Peace Museum, which is a 5-minute drive away. Diving, fishing and kayaking can also be enjoyed in the local area, and Dunollie House and Castle are just 1.3 miles away.
This is our guests' favourite part of Oban, according to independent reviews.
Couples particularly like the location — they rated it 8.8 for a two-person trip.
The Ranald Hotel has been welcoming Booking.com guests since 24 Jul 2012.
