Do you want to explore the Highlands and Islands, visit Mull and go to Balamory? Do you want a quiet, relaxing, holiday? Would you like to be more physical and energetic and do something like hill walking, to see the lovely scenery around Oban. Do you like fishing, scuba diving, or sailing. For the more leisurely holiday there are the ferries to Mull and surrounding Islands. If you want to go shopping, or relax in one of Oban's many pubs or restaurants, Oban can offer them all. Now that the warmer weather is upon us, a break at the Lancaster with its leisure facilities may be just what you need to pass the summer months. Whatever you want to do Oban is a great place to do it from, and the Lancaster is a privately owned, family run, seafront hotel and the perfect venue to do it from. We provide the service of a small family owned hotel. The hotel has been run by the Ramage family since 1963. The hotel can accommodate up to fifty people. Our aim is to make your holiday a success, as comfortable and as enjoyable as possible. We hope to make your stay relaxing with no stress, so you return. Whether you come for leisure, pleasure or business, we hope you enjoy yourself. Many of our residents have been coming each year, for many years, so we think we are getting something right after all repeat business is good business. The Lancaster is on the Seafront Next to St. Columba's Cathedral. It is on the North side of the bay looking down Kerrera sound. When you enter the town from the East from Connel, you will come down the hill, called Dunollie road, from which you get a lovely view of Oban bay. At the bottom of the hill you come to a roundabout. Get into the right lane and go towards the sea. You will come to a second roundabout, there go right along the sea front (there is no entry to the left because of the one way system) St Columba is in front of you and is readily distinguished as a landmark on Oban's seafront. (large red granite building) We are on the far side. If you enter the town from the South, you follow the road through the town till you come to Arygll Square roundabout. As you come onto the roundabout, the ships chandlers shop Nancy Black is on your left. Take the fourth exit (between the Royal Hotel and the Jean Shop) along George street and you will end up on the sea front. Carry on along the seafront till you approach the roundabout and go towards St Columba along the seafront. The Lancaster provides great leisure facilities for those days when the weather does not encourage you to leave the hotel. Although Oban is lovely when the sun shines, it doesn't always shine on command, when on holiday. Our facilities include: a Swimming Pool - 40 ft by 20 ft, indoor, and heated, a Steam Room that can seat up to six people at a time, a that Sauna can seat up to eight people comfortably or two lying out along the benches, a Spa that has seating for four people with a lying area for one. The dining room seats up to fifty people and has a panoramic view over Oban Bay. As so many of our guests like to explore Oban to try out the local restaurants and only book for bed and breakfast, we have decided to no longer to serve lunches and dinners. There are two Bars. The Lounge Bar is used mainly by the local people of Oban, while The Cocktail Bar is used more by residents in the hotel. There are three seating areas. The first is by the front door in the entrance porch, the second by the reception area, and the third, up the half flight of stairs to-wards the pool area, in the Residents Lounge. There are twenty seven rooms in the Hotel. There are; three family rooms, six doubles, ten twins and eight singles. There are seven of these rooms with sea views. All of our rooms. except three of the single rooms, have private toilet, bath or shower.
