Oban Cottages
Fancy a Scottish seaside holiday with plenty of things to see
and do? Then take a look at our Oban cottages.
Once a small fishing village, today's Oban is a bustling
port and major holiday centre, offering an array of attractions
from diving to chocolate!
The setting is magical. For the best views, climb to the top of
McCaig's Tower, perched high above the town. See the houses
tumbling down the hillsides and look out across the calm waters of
the bay to the islands of the Inner Hebrides.
Browse Oban's winding streets, lined with shops and all
kinds of distractions. There's the Oban Distillery, the War
& Peace Museum, a cinema, art gallery - even a chocolate
factory showcasing a feast of delectable delights.
The colourful harbour brims with pleasure craft and fishing
boats. Watch the fishermen unload their catch; then sample
sensational seafood at one of the many fish restaurants in
Scotland's 'Seafood Capital'.
Feeling sporty? In and around Oban is a hotspot for divers,
whether you're new to the sport, or an absolute aficionado
seeking serious drifts and wrecks. Sea kayaking is also popular,
with a chance to encounter seals, porpoises, otters, even whales.
Or choose a leisurely wildlife or sightseeing cruise across to the
isles of Mull or Kerrera.
Back on terra firma, there's a parkland golf course on the
outskirts of town, while nearby Ben Lora is a great place for
walking. Or head south to the Firth of Lorn, a haven for wildlife
watching.
Whatever you decide to do, have a great Oban cottage
holiday!
