Mark and Jan Roberts
Barriemore is by the sea with fabulous views whilst having close proximity to the town and all it has to offer. Barriemore has long been a guest house or hotel, however prior to this it was a private residence and was originally built in 1895 by John S McCaig who also built the famous McCaigs Tower that looks down over the town of Oban and the sea and islands beyond.
We are a family of 4, ourselves, Mark and Jan and our 2 children. Not forgetting the cat and two dogs. We moved back to Oban late 2011 to take over a part of a long running family business in bed and breakfast. We run Barriemore and live alongside in a house that originally belonged to my grandparents.
Oban is a bustling tourist town in the season. There is a wealth of outdoor activities - walking, kayaking, horseriding, golf, adrenaline sports etc alongside many other attractions. Castles, SeaLife sanctuary, Leisure Centre, Oban whisky distillery, Oban chocolate factory, visiting the Islands, ancient glens and momuments. You will find the people friendly and the craic good.
