Comments

The Hotel is the airport operator. Their website is good and also has a webcam overlooking the aircraft parking area which also gives a good view of the weather. The Hotel owner is a Pilot and his Stearman is sometimes parked in front of the Hotel. It's important to get a briefing from the Hotel before you arrive as the weather can cause a lot of windshear.
Fuel is usually available at nearby Oban (but not always).
The Hotel is not open in 2020 due to Covid-19.
