Colonsay Hotel sits high on the hillside above the harbour in Oban, Argyll and Bute, built in 1750 as an inn and welcoming guests for over 270 years. The hotel enjoys uninterrupted views across the water to Jura, and rooms range from Superior Doubles and Twins with sea views to a Family room and simple Classic rooms, all including a full Colonsay breakfast. The restaurant and bar serve freshly landed seafood, locally sourced meats and seasonal produce beside a wood-burning stove. A short stroll from the Oban ferry crossing into Scalasaig, the hotel is also close to Colonsay's beaches, hills and ancient ruins, with the Colonsay and Oronsay Heritage Centre just 1.3 miles away.
