About this house rental

This lovely period property, built in the late 1910s sits just below McCaig's tower overlooking the town and it's beautiful bay.

Braemar is only a short walk from the town centre and its major transport links: train, ferry and buses (to Glasgow and Edinburgh) thus making it ideal for those that don't travel by car.

Offering a spacious lounge, modern kitchen-dining area and three comfortable bedrooms with original features and magnificent views over the Oban bay with the Isle of Kerrera and Mull on the horizon Braemar is the perfect home away from home.

Through the red storm doors the bright yet cosy lounge, to the right of the front door has a comfortable corner sofa, small desk, variety of book, games and DVDs as well as a smart TV and ornamental fireplace. The dining room on the left of the front door comprises of a dining table and chairs for 4-6 people. A small sofa in the alcove offers a comfortable place to read, chat or sleep and enjoy the warmth of the wood burner. The kitchen dining area, which was refurbished in 2023 offers a bright contemporary space with large sink, a four ring hob and oven, slim line dishwasher as well as a large fridge/ freezer. A washing machine is situated in the utility area at the back of the property with a backdoor to the garden.

The stairs lead up to the first landing where the family bathroom with shower over the bath, toilet and wash basin is situated. A door leads to the upper garden.

At the top of the stairs the Master bedroom offers a comfortable double bed, dressing table and a built in wardrobe with storage and the small en-suite with large shower, wash basin and toilet. The single room has a single bed and chest of drawers and the recently refurbished second bedroom has a double bed, a chest of drawers as well as a comfortable armchair which doubles as a put down bed.

All rooms face the beautiful views over Oban Bay, the marina, and the isles beyond.
The small garden to the left of the property catches the afternoon sun making it a perfect area to enjoy a drink or dinner outside. The second garden and viewing platform is accessible via steps to the rear of the property or via the door on the landing and is located on the old ‘laundry lawns’ above the rooftops. From here your can enjoy panoramic views over the whole of Oban; a perfect backdrop for a some cheese and wine or just watching the sunset.

    The house is high on a hill overlooking Oban. It's a little tricky driving up there but welcome to Old Scotland. There is a lot to see around Oban but we had some stormy weather when we were there so we went to the distillery.

    Loved this older home with its creaky floors and updated kitchen which was very cozy. The views are spectacular and we enjoyed exploring Oban and taking the ferry to surrounding islands. It is up on a hill so if no vehicle plan on some walking up and down some steep areas , you might want to take a taxi uphill with luggage anyway😉

    We had a wonderful stay at Braemar! The house is just as described. The views were incredible! It rained almost the entire time during our stay but my husband ventured to the viewing platform and said it was really nice. The house is comfortable and was equipped with all that we needed for our stay. The walk to town took about 5 minutes down the hill which allowed us to keep our car parked at the private parking space during our stay. Niall met us at the house and showed us the property. He even had a fire started in the fireplace to take the chill out of the room. So nice! Both Niall and Johanna were very responsive to the questions that we had. I would definitely stay here again. Great hosts, great location, and lovely house!

    We stayed for 4 nights in this beautiful historic home. The hosts were excellent, easy to contact, and had great local recommendations. The main street of Oban is just down a hill which made it very walkable for shopping, exploring, food, etc. We would absolutely stay again! Thank you!

    We had a great time at this home! The owners were very responsive when we had an initial hiccup with the heating which was much appreciated. Oban is a good home base for exploring the islands and Highlands and having a private parking space was a real luxury. Hiking up to the secret patio above the house for whisky or wine before dinner was fun, especially since the sun didn’t set until 11 when we were there. The views of the harbor from every room are gorgeous. We’d definitely rent here again!
