Unwind in the hot tub

This is one of the few places in the area with this amenity.
This one-of-a-kind cabin is newly built by a local designer and cabinet maker with comfort and luxury as a priority.

The uniquely styled cabin includes a lounge area, kitchen with appliances, super king bedroom, wet room and spacious decking with hot tub.

Set high on the hillside, you can relax and enjoy unique panoramic views over Oban and Glen Coe mountain range.

The Black Cabin makes the ideal space for a romantic getaway and as a base to explore the wonderful west coast of Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿.

The space
The exterior of the Black Cabin is clad with locally sourced larch and black corrugated sheeting. The hot tub sits into the spacious black decking and is enclosed by a glass balustrade so that the view is not impaired. Exterior lighting and comfortable outside seating enable guests to enjoy the view late into the evening.

The interior is made up of three main spaces, the living area and kitchen, bedroom and wet room. The walls in the lounge are clad with oak from our own grounds and the head board is made of locally sourced olive ash. The cabin was designed and built by us, we truly hope you enjoy your visit!

Guest access
The cabin is situated at the top of a track (off the main road-Soroba Road). We have recently upgraded our track so it is suitable for all vehicles. We request guests drive slowly as it is a single track road.

The setting gives you a peaceful sense of distance from the town, yet Oban is easily accessed; 10 minutes by car to the town centre and 20/25 minutes on foot.

Having a car is not essential when staying in The Black Cabin, however if you do have a vehicle we provide very safe private parking by the Cabin.

Lives in Oban, United Kingdom
I have a background in interior design but have spent the last 15 years working in education as a teacher. My husband is a cabinet maker and runs a design company making bespoke furniture. Together we designed and built our cabin which we host. We have travelled the world and spent time in Africa, Australia and Asia…then it was time to come home to the west coast of Scotland which we absolutely love!
