7 Bedroom House in Oban
Blà Bheinn is a luxurious seven-bedroom, self-catering holiday home in Oban, sleeping up to 14 guests (+2 infants). Set high on Pulpit Hill, it boasts stunning views over Oban Bay towards the islands of Kerrera, Lismore, and Mull—an ideal location for exploring Scotland’s west coast. Pet friendly.
Oban, often called the "Gateway to the Isles," is a picturesque coastal town on Scotland’s west coast, renowned for its stunning scenery, fresh seafood, and easy access to the Inner and Outer Hebrides. Nestled along a sheltered bay and framed by rugged hills and distant islands, Oban offers a unique blend of natural beauty, cultural heritage, and small-town charm.
Visitors can explore the lively harbour, sample whisky at the historic Oban Distillery, or climb to McCaig’s Tower for panoramic views over the bay and islands beyond. The town is also a launch point for ferry trips to Mull, Iona, and Lismore, making it a hub for island adventures.
With excellent local restaurants, charming shops, and scenic walking trails, Oban combines the tranquillity of the Highlands with the vibrancy of a working port. Whether you're seeking outdoor adventures, quiet coastal escapes, or a taste of authentic Scottish life, Oban offers the perfect setting.
Blà Bheinn offers spacious, light-filled interiors with sweeping views of Kerrera, Mull, and Ben Cruachan. The ground-floor Drawing and TV Rooms open onto the deck and garden, while upstairs, a Games Hall with pool table, TV, and games provides space to unwind, along with a quiet reading nook overlooking Lismore. The large kitchen-dining area includes two fully equipped kitchens and twin islands—perfect for everything from relaxed breakfasts to festive dinners.
Seven en-suite bedrooms combine comfort and flexibility, with super-king beds (six can be twin), deep mattresses, and rainfall showers-three with baths. Views stretch across Oban Bay and the surrounding hills. Outside, landscaped gardens showcase rare rhododendrons, a secure play area, fire pit, and ample parking. The Bothy, with panoramic views of Dunollie Castle and Ben Cruachan, is ideal for yoga, barbecues, or quiet retreat-even remote work, if needed.
