Accessibility

We are located on a hill that is not too steep but it is a short walk away from the centre of town. Our car park is at the back of the house facing Oban Bowling Green with a minute’s walk to the Atlantis Sport’s Centre (please check out our facebook page hawthornbank for directions if travelling by car). A walk round the side of the house will take you to the front door where we will meet and greet you on arrival.

We have one room on the ground floor, this room is ideal for those who do not wish to use the stairs. This room is on the same level as the breakfast room.

All other rooms are on the 1st and 2nd floor of the house with a landing between the floors.
