Hotels near Oban Airport - OBN, Oban

Bendlerloch is a wee village with stunning views and handy for walking and exploring the cycle tracks which continue on to Oban and Fort William. There is the lovely Ben Lora cafe and bookshop with tables outside. Its easy to walk to Tralee beach.

Good location with lots to do within a 10 mile radius. Benderloch is within easy reach of Oban ( where there's loads of ferry options to visit islands, go to Kerrera or Lismore). It was in November we visited so a few tourist things were closed but we had no problem getting seats in restaurants. Worth note is the Pier House hotel in Port Appin, superb food, prepared really well and great service. We were in Bendeloch for four days and didn't run out of things to do, during the summer i guess a week or more would be ideal.

Stunning views everywhere and so many walks and hikes all accessible from the hotel. We also visited Sunderland Grove Forest Walks which was so pretty, super walking routes, especially as we had just had the first snow fall.

Benderloch is a small linear village on the main road. An area of flat land to the west of the village has several caravan, camping and motor home sites, B&B and restaurant facilities. It is well equipped for serving tourists needs. A walk up Beinn Lora is a must. The 360 degree views are spectacular. And a reward for the steep climb. Only a short drive to Oban with all the shops, bars, restaurants, transport links, and facilities a tourist needs.

I had an enjoyable stay at Benderloch, while attending a course at Dunbeg. The local beach is perfect for swimming, and there are hairy coos grazing in front of the property. Adorable. Also, in the afternoons someone in the distance plays the bagpipes, just in case you forget you’re in Scotland. There are several good restaurants in the area, but a car is recommended to get around. There is a bus but I think the timetable would be limiting. If I’d had more time I would’ve gone for walks as the area is really beautiful.

Benderloch is a great location. However, one of the main reasons I wanted to stay there was to visit Castle Stalker, but that wasn't possible because it is privately owned and only availble to tour and book in advance, and only on very limited days per month (3 - 4 days). This was a great disapointment for me. So I recommend booking it 6 months in advance of your trip.
