Excellent small hotel with great service
We had a great experience at No 26. The hotel is very welcoming and spotless. Our room was uniquely decorated (garden access room) and very well set up and quiet. Breakfast was wonderful and the timed slots worked well ensuring it wasn’t crowded
An all round winner
Excellent location ‘by the sea’ and only a short walk from the town centre. Contemporary decor. Our room had a lovely outlook over the bay. It was classed as a small double but was perfectly adequate with all the amenities you would expect, Brea

Fabulous stay at No. 26 By the Sea
A truly lovely place to stay while in Oban. It is about a 10 minute walk into town, but the walk along the water overlooking the islands makes the walk worthwhile. My room was spacious, had a wonderful shower and bed. The decorations and wall art
This is the place to stay!
This is a comfortable, stylish, extremely beautiful place to stay in Oban. A five minute walk to the heart of the town. Our room was tucked under the eaves of the house, overlooking a wide expanse of bay and boats. The bathroom was all black with a f

Make sure you know what room toy are getting
We were very disappointed with the "gorgeous" room number 4. It was dark and gloomy. We were unable to enjoy the patio despite gorgeous weather. The view was not as expected at all. We were booked for 2 nights but due to unexpected circu

We had a seaview room which was great for ferry-watching. Parking on site or on the road. Very helpful host and great breakfast.
Wonderful Stay by the Sea
I had such a great experience at No. 26 by the Sea in Oban. The staff were incredible from the start—greeting us with a glass of fizz, walking us through everything about the hotel, and even helping arrange a taxi for us to get to a restaurant in A

Great location and just a 10 minute stroll into town. A lovely warm welcome from Rachel. We stayed in the garden room which was snug but beautifully decorated with a large comfy bed. We had direct access to a patio with a gate leading to woodland

The location is great. Seaside walk into town in just a few minutes. The residence is charming. Service and breakfast were great. Highly recommend it.
A wonderful surprise
Perhaps are best and most pleasantly surprising overnight stay on our one-month road trip through Scotland - certainly the most welcoming. A room with a great view of the Firth and a terrific open-kitchen breakfast.

No 26 By The Sea is an excellent choice!
The location of No 26 By the Sea makes it very walkable to all shops and restaurants in Oban. There is even a paved path out the back gate to the Castle ruins. We had room # 2 and it had a terrific view of the sea. The staff is excellent, courteous
Fantastic!
Everything from how staff checked us in to the quality and comfort of the room, to the amazing breakfast. Was awesome. Location was perfect as well.
Nice location and comfy bed... with a few suggestions.
This B&B is in a picturesque location and is a Victorian home that is very nicely decorated and cozy. We stayed in the "Woodland apartment" that sits behind the property (no view) and is located on a walk path that leads to a castle an

Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience
the user has and how many percent of their transactions resulted in them issuing a refund.
If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to No. 26 By The Sea Oban at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the No. 26 By The Sea Oban page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* 🍦 @EternalAnt36, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* 🍦 @EternalAnt36 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to 🍦 @EternalAnt36 for any questions Peter may have as 🍦 @EternalAnt36 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* 🍦 @EternalAnt36 now uses their connections at No. 26 By The Sea Oban to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If 🍦 @EternalAnt36 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, 🍦 @EternalAnt36 receives the $200 reward which is credited to 🍦 @EternalAnt36's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at No. 26 By The Sea Oban!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
