Once you exit the ferry on Mull, turn right and carry on the double track road until you get to the first village of Salen. Continue through the village after which the road becomes single track with passing places. If you get a queue of cars behind its good manners to pull into one of the passing places and allow them to pass and continue on their way and it also allows you to take your time and enjoy the scenery and wildlife.

The road then briefly changes to double track again taking you into Tobermory where you encounter Mulls one and only roundabout. Go straight across (1st exit) and then turn immediately right at the bus stop. This is Breadalbane Street and you continue on this for about 1/2 a mile until you go down a short narrow and steep hill to a ‘T’ junction. Turn right here and you will have the An Tobar Community Arts Centre on your right and come almost immediately to another junction. Go straight across the junction and travel half way down this brae (which is called the Back Brae), then take the left fork which immediately starts going uphill again, pass the Western Isles Hotel on your right, then the War Memorial on your right just prior to a left hand bend. Continue up this single track road and take the 2nd opening on the left which is the entrance to Oakfield House. Just open the white cast iron gates and continue up the treelined driveway to the large parking area at the left of the house.
