My youngest son and I stayed i At Oban three nights. I had visited a few years back and as such we booked a room with the South Seas Hotel. We had a great time looking around town but we were struck with severe winter type weather for the entirety of our trip. One day forexample was at 1 degree. We had heavy rain, unbelievable high winds and bitter coldness. Long story short we hung around the room, visited the pub and generally ate there. We had a good time all the same.
