Beautiful views from every window, private garden and parking for two cars

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.

If you do choose to travel buy car the house has it’s own private car parking space for two cars right outside the house.

WOW - Highly Recommend
The property is wonderful! Johanna and Niall were great to work with. The house has beautiful water views from every room! The sitting garden was spectacular for views and for pictures! The house is well maintained, warmly decorated throughout, and charming. Neighborhood is friendly and you have the opportunity to mix in with full-time residents. Easy to walk down to shopping and find inexpensive taxis back to house. We recommend Braemar and look forward to planning our return visit!

A little slice of heaven
We enjoyed our stay at this lovely home! The location was perfect. Lots of little touches that made us feel at home. The views were fabulous. The upper deck was a wonderful place to unwind with a cool beverage at the end of the day. The walk down to town was easier than I thought, just down the Jacob's ladder. Johanna was a joy. She responded promptly to a minor issue we had. I highly recommend staying here.

This property overlooks Oban and the bay….a spectacular view and setting. It’s a long ways up on the back of the property but worth it. It is very close to restaurants, pubs and the ferry. Golf at Glencruitten is gorgeous but extremely challenging.

Wonderful Oban
Great location. Hosts Johanna and Niaal showed true Scottish hospitality by getting more chairs for the viewing deck when they learned our son and grandson were visiting. The views from there were truly magnificent. An excellent and very enjoyable vacation.

Lovely home, great views, in-town location, parking nook
Very well-maintained home with immaculate kitchen and room for family of four perched on a quiet in-town street just up the hillside a few minutes walk from the center of Oban. Beautiful views of town and harbor and quick walk to great restaurants, ferry, Marks & Spencer Foodhall and Tesco supermarket. And dedicated parking nook next to street directly in front of house - peace of mind for parking our rental car given narrowness of streets in neighborhood
