Snaptrip says

The River Lodge in Oban receives high praise for its peaceful and beautiful location, cleanliness, and comfort. Guests appreciate the well-equipped kitchen, cosy wood burner, and the added luxury of a hot tub. The caretaker, Gordon, is frequently mentioned for his helpfulness. While some minor issues with facilities are noted, the overall experience is one of relaxation and enjoyment in a tranquil setting.

Guests that stayed at this property said

Guests consistently report that the lodge is very clean, with several reviews highlighting its spotless condition. The high level of cleanliness contributes significantly to the overall positive experience.

The lodge's location is described as peaceful, private, and ideal for relaxation. Its proximity to Oban and local attractions is appreciated, although some guests mention difficulties with directions. The natural setting and wildlife sightings add to the charm.

Comfort is a strong point for the lodge, with guests finding the beds very comfy and the wood burner adding to the cosy atmosphere. The presence of a smart TV and the tranquil surroundings contribute to a comfortable stay.

While the lodge is well-equipped, some guests mention issues with the shower temperature, Wi-Fi, and TV channels. The hot tub is a highlight, though there are mixed comments about its condition. Maintenance responsiveness is good, with Gordon addressing problems promptly.

There are mentions of thoughtful touches like a bottle of bubbly and chocolates, and unlimited logs for the burner. However, as these gifts are not consistently referenced across reviews, it cannot be guaranteed they are a standard provision for all guests.

    Beautiful location, would highly recommend.

  • Tina

    Very clean. It has everything you need. The little heater warms the cabin quickly. There is plenty storage in the bedroom. It really felt like being at home and having a place for our things. Even in the bathroom, there is lovely shelves. The hot tub was bonus. Very private area. Oban is a short drive away. We had a great week here in October.

  • Brenda

    After a day out coming back to the hot tub was wonderful, clean, hot, and just what we needed. Gordon was very helpful and kept the hot tub in tip top condition. We hope to come back (just wish it was closer to us! )
