Shearings Self Drive Holiday to Oban @ Great Western Hotel

Taking a Shearings self drive holiday to Oban in Scotland promises fantastic views, fascinating wildlife, a wealth of culture and many things to do. With its lovely bay and harbour and views of the nearby islands of Mull and Kerrera, it’s a tremendous place to stay. There is a quaintness to Oban that is punctuated by the sight of the Dunollie Castle, the Dunstaffnage Castle and McCaig’s Tower, which harks at the history of the town’s defence against invaders.

For a detailed look at the history of the town and the region, head to the War & Peace Museum and find out how the town played a major role in the world wars, particularly sea-planes or Catalinas, which were based there. There are Mull and Iona Island Tours available by boat, if you want a break from driving on your Shearings self drive holiday to Oban or if you want to explore, head to the scenic surroundings and seek out lochs, glens, castles and standing stones. There is a Sealife Sanctuary, which has otters, seals and many more sea-animals, or you can go on a Murder Mystery Walking Trail, for something completely different.

Staying in Oban will lead you to the magnificent Great Western Hotel. It is a short walk from the harbour and the town’s shops, boasts stunning views of the sea and islands, as well as having large and inviting rooms that provide a perfect base for your Shearings self drive holiday to Oban. There is a well-stocked bar and cocktail lounge, which has amazing views and is particularly special as the sun sets over the sea. This grand hotel offers the chance to relax in style and be perfectly placed to head off angling, bird watching or walks around the town itself and its quality matches that of the surroundings.
