The residents’ lounge, overlooking the bay, has a range of interesting books, magazines and local literature and is an excellent room to relax after a busy day or outside on the patio area taking in one of Oban’s spectacular sunsets.
The dining room on the ground floor has recently been refurbished, creating a relaxing atmosphere where guests can enjoy a traditional Highland breakfast with the view over the bay and prints from local artist John Lowrie Morrison; “Jolomo”.
Within 5 minutes walk of Glenbervie there is a range of restaurants, 3 of which we highly recommend, Ee-usk, Cuan Mor and The Waterfront Restaurant. Also available are traditional bars and hotels providing cosmopolitan cuisine to suit all tastes.
Oban is recognised as the “Gateway to the Isles” with ferry access to Mull, Iona, Tiree, Coll and Colonsay offering a variety of day trips. The most popular is the “Three Isles trip” taking in Mull, Iona (Iona Abbey where St. Columba brought Christianity to Scotland) finishing off with a trip to Staffa to view Fingal’s Cave immortalised in Mendelssohn’s overture.
If however you wish to have an Oban day just wander down the winding streets overlooking the bay buzzing with activity, then a walk up to the coliseum, McCaig’s Tower high above the town with stunning views over the bay and beyond, finishing off with a visit to sample the delights of Oban Distillery.
