Sheep Fank Cottage - Oban

B&B- 4 stars

About

Located in beautiful Glen Feochan, just 5 miles south of Oban, Sheep Fank Cottage is the perfect base for touring the Highlands and Islands of Scotland. The accommodation offers peaceful surroundings and a private garden for the use of guests where you can relax and enjoy the views whilst listening to birdsong and the running water of the stream which is the boundary of the property.

The en-suite bedrooms are newly refurbished and offer a high standard. These large bedrooms have all the facilities that will make your stay comfortable including a King size bed and a lounge area with a well stocked hospitality tray, where you can have a drink whilst relaxing or possibly watching the flat screen television provided. Both rooms can be used as family bedrooms.

Delicious breakfasts are chosen from a menu and cooked to order using local produce wherever possible.

Jane and Jeff would like to welcome you to Sheep Fank Cottage. We have 30 years experience of exploring the west of Scotland and look forward to sharing our love of this area with you.

We are a non smoking establishment and unfortunately do not accept pets. We have a cat and a dog for the information of asthma sufferers.

The property is run by Jane and Jeff and they will be happy to give you advice and ideas to make your holiday memorable.

Set in a secluded glen, it is hard to believe that Sheep Fank Cottage is just 5 miles from the centre of Oban, just 1 mile down a single track road, well marked from the main A816 to Lochgilphead.

The cottage has expansive views over the glen to the front and also up to the hillside behind where buzzards can often be seen. There is easy access to the hillside for walking or you may stroll along the single track road to Glen Feochan waterfall. The cottage is sited beside the old drovers’ road that leads from the sea, up Glen Feochan towards Kilchrenan where it leads eventually to Loch Awe and beyond.

The garden has seating for you to enjoy the atmosphere perhaps after a chosen activity or simply to unwind during your stay.

There is off road parking and facilities for guests who are travelling by bike, car, or motorbike – please visit our web page for details.

All bedrooms are centrally heated having uninterrupted views and the amenities that you would expect to make your stay comfortable and relaxing. Should you be travelling as a family, bedroom Mull has a full sized single bed permanently in the room and can accommodate another single bed and bedroom Iona can accommodate a single bed as well as the king size bed.

You don’t have to lose touch with the world – we offer free WiFi access to our guests.

Breakfasts are cooked for individuals and chosen from a menu. You may choose from a range of foods including the traditional and generous Scottish breakfast or muffins topped with moist scrambled eggs and laced with Scottish smoked salmon. Perhaps you would prefer mouth watering mushrooms topped with Stornoway black pudding and a golden poached egg – the choice is yours! Though if you have a particular dietary need please contact us and discuss how we can plan for your visit.

Jane and Jeff look forward to welcoming you to Sheep Fank Cottage. Please contact us if you have any particular needs or interests and we will endeavour to help you wherever possible. We feel sure that you will find the area fascinating and the accommodation somewhere you can relax and enjoy your time in Scotland.
