Directions

If you are arriving in Oban by bus, train or ferry you will arrive down on the seafront. Simply walk along the waterfront keeping the water on your left hand side.
When the road bears to the left, take the road straight in front of you that continues straight on. If you find yourself back on the seafront, go back and take the first left.
Continue up this road until you reach a fork in the road. At this point take the right hand fork. This is Breadalbane Street. On your right hand side you will see our Oban Backpackers sign and our famous big red windows.
If you are arriving by road, as you come down the steep hill into Oban, take a left hand turn about half way down the hill into Deanery Brae. Next turn right onto Breadalbane Street. Follow the road along until you see the big red windows on your left hand side.
