Historic Property & Grounds
Heatherfield House is a 3-star bed and breakfast in a 19th-century manor with original details that include a glass door, high ceilings, and a spiral staircase. The property sits on a quiet hill above Oban, with a garden and views across the bay to Mull. Guests have a communal lounge with waterfront view and on-site private parking.
Rooms & Accommodations
Standard Double Rooms and Deluxe Double or Twin Rooms with Sea View include private bathrooms, bathrobes, and Highland Soap Co. toiletries. Some rooms have a freestanding bath, a large shower area, or a bay window overlooking the garden and rooftops. The Single Room with Private External Bathroom has a sink inside the room and a private bathroom down the hall.
Breakfast & Dining
Breakfast is a continental buffet with fresh pastries, cheese, fruits, juice, and smoked salmon, plus vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options. Guests select items the evening before to reduce waste, and homemade rhubarb and berry compote is served with yoghurt and porridge. Packed lunches are available for early ferry departures.
Location & Local Attractions
Heatherfield House sits a short walk from Oban town centre, Oban Ferry Terminal, and Oban Railway Station, with Corran Halls 5 minutes away on foot. Dunstaffnage Castle is 5 km from the property, Kilmartin House Museum is 47 km away, and Oban Airport is 9 km away. McCaig's Tower, Oban Distillery, and shorefront seafood restaurants are also within walking distance.

“Heatherfield House presents comfortable rooms, many with water views, situated on a tranquil street that still allows for an easy walk into Oban's centre. The host's attentiveness and the freshly cooked breakfast, including delightful homemade compotes, stand out as notable advantages. It strikes a fine balance between peaceful repose and convenient access to the town's amenities and sights.”
