A winter wonderland in Oban. In 1897 local banker John Stuart McCaig wanted to provide work for local stonemasons. Largely to stop them leaving the town to work elsewhere, leaving Oban with a severe lack of local trade at a time where everywhere else in Scotland was coming life. The views across the Atlantic, out to Kererra then eventually the Isle of Mull, are astonishing. On a clear day you can sit down, relax and watch the ferries coming in and going out. A lifeline to the Western Isles. There are stunning gardens inside the tower which are well maintained all year round. A peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of town life in Oban. Have you wandered to the tower and seen the view?

Now this is how you unwind. Escape to @obanbayhotel and take advantage of a Scottish two-night bed and breakfast offer with added special treats: ~ Baileys hot chocolate or liqueur coffee after dinner ~ Complimentary access to spa thermal experiences ~ 20% off spa treatments ~ 10% off spa products And did we mention we have been awarded AA Small Hotel Group of the Year? So you can be sure it will be a memorable experience. To find out more, visit our website: https://www.crerarhotels.com/oban-bay-hotel/offers/

Over 100 Scottish malt whiskies and gins. It'll be a challenge choosing your favourite. We're dog-friendly, too. The perfect paw stop for adventure dogs after a day of exploring. We’ll save you a seat.
