I would highly recommend this charming restaurant to anyone visiting or staying in the area. View all feedback. What Gillian M doesn't like about Hawthorn Cottage:
Mediocre pub type food. One of the burgers quite inedible. Had been under the impression that this was a different class of restaurant as the older menus from the highly-rated version are still online. Didn’t realise it had changed ownership some years ago. Staff very pleasant though. Until they get their act together go to Tralee fish and chips instead View all feedback.

The Hawthorn restaurant in Oban offers a mixed bag of reviews. While some diners were disappointed with the mediocre pub-style food and inedible burgers, others raved about the tender gammon and delicious dishes that were to die for. The cozy decor and friendly staff added to the overall positive experience, with many recommending the Highland Mushrooms and Hawthorn Chicken as standout dishes. The restaurant's rustic setting, quality food, and exceptional service make it a hidden gem in the Oban area, perfect for those seeking a delightful dining experience.

A 5 star experience. A very friendly family run restaurant. Menu had enough choices for my very fussy husband. The quality and quantity of the food was amazing.
