Dana Villa Guest House

Information about the host

Dana Villa is ideally situated in the centre of Oban, it is a few minutes’ walk from the ferry terminal, train station and bus station and handy for all visitor attractions. The house is a stone built Victorian Villa located on the main road into Oban one street back from the esplanade where we would suggest you have an evening stroll to witness our beautiful sunsets.

We have been operating a bed and breakfast establishment for over forty years. During this time we have seen many changes in the type of accommodation that people expect on holiday and we pride ourselves on the fact that we have moved with the times and offer up to the minute facilities to our guests but more importantly we have retained a good old fashioned sense of Scottish hospitality and a welcoming open door to all our guests. We offer modern facilities with traditional values. We feel that our best marketing point is that we have many guests who have been staying at our home repeatedly over the last forty years.
