About this property

Luxury country house set in its own little forest

Set in its own little forest near Oban bay, there is something perfectly tranquil about Home Farm – a softness and privacy, a sense of being folded into trees. Part 1600’s, part Arts and Crafts, this is the oldest building in the glen. Fully restored to accommodate ten guests, each room in the house has been individually composed - paintings and prints by local artists on the walls, a bespoke croft bed, open fires.

Owls, deer and red-squirrel live in the large, secluded grounds beyond windows flooded with the silver and apricot light that characterises the west Highlands.

Drive here, or take the famously vivid train route from Glasgow, past Loch Lomond and up to Oban. The town is just a country walk away, its famous bay dotted with seafood stalls and restaurants, and boats sailing to the rugged and rolling Isle of Mull, and the white-sanded Inner Hebrides beyond. Water and forest, Highland and garden, peace and bustle: Home Farm offers it all. Have a closer look on our website

The entire experience was magical. We ranged in age from 3-77 and it was perfect for all of us. This place is special.

Simply the best

Home Farm was exactly that – a home! Our stay could not have been more blissful in a home that is large and sprawling yet cosy and serendipitous with beautiful artwork, music collection and crackling open fires - surrounded by the beautiful trees, animals, and birdlife. Our family had a wonderful Christmas with every detail considered by our host Paul, who after welcoming us was keen to ensure we had all we needed and more. This is the perfect getaway for a larger group or family with the home including all the modern conveniences, a kitchen with everything and all set in a magnificent historic home. Having stayed in many many holiday lets over the years I can honestly say nothing could have been done better. Thanks Paul.

About the host

Host profile image
After hearing that Home Farm had come up for sale In 2019, I decided to move back home after living in Glasgow for 20-plus years.

I’d been working as a music festival director and documentary filmmaker. But remembering Home Farm as a young boy - spending happy times here riding horses from its stables in the 1980’s - I was drawn back.

The last two years have been busy restoring and renovating the house, which had lapsed into a sorry state.

Vowing to retain its original beauty and history I felt a real responsibility given it's one of the oldest and most unusual houses in or around Oban.
And now the work is completed in the main house and its wing, we have created something very special. I hope you can come and enjoy it with us.
