You can find us located a mile and a half from Oban town centre, nestled in the beautiful Scottish countryside. Follow the signs for Glencruitten Golf Course and continue past the golf course until you reach a 'Y' junction. Take the road straight ahead, and you will find us approximately 1/2 a mile up that road on the left-hand side. Please note that if you are using a satnav, it is best to enter the town of Oban before entering our postcode to avoid any potential issues.
