About this property

Historic house in Oban with stunning views over the West Scotland coast. Sleeping 14 (+2 infants) and pet friendly.

Blà Bheinn is a luxurious seven-bedroom, self-catering holiday home in Oban, sleeping up to 14 guests (+2 infants). Set high on Pulpit Hill, it boasts stunning views over Oban Bay towards the islands of Kerrera, Lismore, and Mull—an ideal location for exploring Scotland’s west coast. Pet friendly.

Oban, often called the "Gateway to the Isles," is a picturesque coastal town on Scotland’s west coast, renowned for its stunning scenery, fresh seafood, and easy access to the Inner and Outer Hebrides. Nestled along a sheltered bay and framed by rugged hills and distant islands, Oban offers a unique blend of natural beauty, cultural heritage, and small-town charm.

Visitors can explore the lively harbour, sample whisky at the historic Oban Distillery, or climb to McCaig’s Tower for panoramic views over the bay and islands beyond. The town is also a launch point for ferry trips to Mull, Iona, and Lismore, making it a hub for island adventures.

With excellent local restaurants, charming shops, and scenic walking trails, Oban combines the tranquillity of the Highlands with the vibrancy of a working port. Whether you're seeking outdoor adventures, quiet coastal escapes, or a taste of authentic Scottish life, Oban offers the perfect setting.

Blà Bheinn offers spacious, light-filled interiors with sweeping views of Kerrera, Mull, and Ben Cruachan. The ground-floor Drawing and TV Rooms open onto the deck and garden, while upstairs, a Games Hall with pool table, TV, and games provides space to unwind, along with a quiet reading nook overlooking Lismore. The large kitchen-dining area includes two fully equipped kitchens and twin islands—perfect for everything from relaxed breakfasts to festive dinners.

Seven en-suite bedrooms combine comfort and flexibility, with super-king beds (six can be twin), deep mattresses, and rainfall showers-three with baths. Views stretch across Oban Bay and the surrounding hills. Outside, landscaped gardens showcase rare rhododendrons, a secure play area, fire pit, and ample parking. The Bothy, with panoramic views of Dunollie Castle and Ben Cruachan, is ideal for yoga, barbecues, or quiet retreat-even remote work, if needed.

Grand Living Spaces

The living Spaces at Blà Bheinn offer a perfect blend of elegance, comfort, and connection. The Drawing Room, with sweeping views across Kerrera to Mull, features French windows that open to the garden and a turret window seat ideal for quiet moments. Its inviting furnishings and open fire make it a warm and sociable space throughout the year.

Upstairs, the spacious Games Hall provides a relaxed, versatile setting for fun and family time, complete with a TV, pool table, games, books, and toys. It also offers a natural divide between bedrooms, adding privacy and convenience for families. Nearby, a peaceful reading nook overlooks the Island of Lismore, offering a quiet retreat within the home.

Kitchen & Dining

The Kitchen and Dining area at Blà Bheinn is a spacious, thoughtfully designed L-shaped room that combines practicality with sociable charm. It features two distinct kitchen zones: the main kitchen, fully equipped for everything from casual breakfasts to elaborate dinners, and a secondary prep area ideal for making drinks or snacks without interrupting the flow of cooking. Two large islands create a natural gathering point for guests to chat, sip wine, or lend a hand. Well-stocked with ample crockery, glassware, and cookware, the space is perfectly suited for both relaxed meals and festive celebrations.

Outdoor Spaces & Bothy

The outdoor spaces at Blà Bheinn are as inviting as the interiors, designed to make the most of the area’s unique micro-climate and stunning surroundings. The wraparound gardens are home to a growing collection of rare rhododendrons, offering a vibrant display each spring. Tucked-away benches provide peaceful spots to relax, while a secure, fenced play area lets children explore safely. Ample parking is available, and a fire pit creates a cosy focal point for evenings outdoors—perfect for toasting marshmallows under the stars.

The Bothy adds a flexible, serene extension to the garden. With views toward Dunollie Castle and Ben Cruachan, it’s ideal for early morning yoga, sheltered BBQs, quiet reading, or even as a tranquil home office. Whether for solitude or social time, it’s a versatile space that invites relaxation and reflection.
