Historic Charm & Seclusion
Heatherfield House occupies a 19th-century building with original architectural details like high ceilings and a spiral staircase. The property sits on a hill above Oban, offering quiet surroundings while being a 5-minute walk from the town centre. Guests can relax in the beautiful garden or enjoy the views of nearby islands from select rooms.
Accommodations & Rooms
Each room includes a private bathroom with a bath or shower, plus bathrobes and free toiletries. Rooms offer sea or garden views, with some featuring a freestanding bath. The bedding is described as comfortable, and the rooms are spacious with ample storage and a TV.
Breakfast Experience
A continental buffet breakfast is served each morning, with options including smoked salmon, cheeses, fresh fruit, and homemade compote made from rhubarb grown in the garden. Guests order items the evening before to reduce waste, and porridge with fresh compote is a popular choice. The breakfast is praised for using local ingredients and offering vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free choices.

Nearby attractions include Dunstaffnage Castle (5 km), Oban Ferry Terminal, and McCaig's Tower which is a 10-minute walk uphill.
