No. 26 By The Sea

You're walking along Corran Esplanade on a clear day, and No. 26 sits right there facing the water—no pretence, just a straightforward spot with the bay as your view. It's the kind of place locals recommend when they've got visitors staying over, somewhere that doesn't try too hard but gets the essentials right. Whether you're here for a night or a few days exploring Oban's restaurants and whisky trails, there's something appealingly no-nonsense about it all.
