Cottages in Oban

Make your way to the delightful waterside town of Oban in Argyll and Bute for a holiday brimming with adventures. Perfectly placed for island hopping, catch the ferry across to a number of the Hebridean islands for an unforgettable day trip, or hop on a boat trip to see the local wildlife, including dolphins, basking sharks, and whales. There are plenty of other activities to enjoy during your self-catering holiday in Oban, too; walk up to McCaig’s Tower to admire the stunning views over the water, explore Oban’s sheltered harbour, delve into the history of the MacDougall family with a visit to Dunollie Castle, and take a tour of Oban Distillery.

Referred to as the ‘Seafood Capital of Scotland’, the excellent restaurants in the area promise delicious, locally sourced meals - or if you prefer to be outside, you can simply head to the beach for fish and chips on the sand! Oh, and don’t miss out on a visit to Oban Chocolate Company to pick up a few sweet treats.
