COORIE
Winter breaks in Oban
The season of Coorie.
With wild walks and embracing swims.
Crackling fires and lights dimmed.
Candles glow while winds outside roar.
Welcome to winter at Crerar Hotels.
There is still plenty of Scotland to explore during a winter break in Oban.
When the sun comes out, enjoy one of Oban's many walks such as up to McCaig's tower, a great lookout over the entire town. Embrace the rain with a trip to the Oban Distillery to learn more about the local whisky or explore the local shops on the high street.
After a day of adventure, a warm welcoming will be waiting with our roaring fires and hearty, local cuisine including venison from the Crerar Home Farm.
