Lochnell Arms Hotel

The Lochnell Arms Hotel sits on the north side of Oban in North Connel, about five miles from the town centre and handy for the Falls of Lora. Dogs are welcome inside the public bar, so the whole group can settle in together while you order food or drinks.

The hotel serves meals daily from noon to 3pm and again from 5pm to 9pm, making it a practical stop for lunch or an early dinner. The pub is open every day from noon until 11pm, with a separate public bar that keeps things relaxed and dog-friendly.

There's ample free parking, which takes the stress out of pulling over mid-walk or on your way through the area. Whether you're breaking a coastal drive or finishing a lochside walk, the Lochnell Arms offers the kind of straightforward, no-fuss welcome that means nobody volunteers for pavement duty.
