Hebridean Princess

In recognition of our similar positions at the luxury end of the travel market (although we cannot claim the Queen as one of our clients), we have recently forged a closer working relationship with. We are now their preferred accommodation provider in the Oban area which makes us ideal for their guests to start or finish their cruise with a stay with us. For our part, we can recommend no better way to see the coast of Scotland in such style and luxury. For more information you may wish to visit their website at www.hebridean.co.uk.

The Team

We are extremely careful in selecting our staff.

Robert McKay, our General Manager, has a background in hotel management at the luxury end of the market and he appreciates the atmosphere we wish to promote whilst retaining the attention to detail we feel is so important. These qualities are only achievable with a strong and professional team behind him. Similarly, the kitchen team, lead by Head Chef and Master Chef of Great Britain J Paul Burns is dedicated to achieving excellence as reflected in the many awards he has received.

We hope you enjoy reading about our hotel and that we have the pleasure of welcoming you in the near future.

With kind regards
Shaun and Jenny McKivragan, Proprietors
