Dana Villa Holiday Accommodation

We have been operating holiday accommodation for over forty years at Dana Villa which is also our home therefore we are on hand if you need assistance or advice. During this time we have seen many changes in the type of accommodation that people expect on holiday and we pride ourselves in the fact that we have moved with the times and offer up to the minute facilities for 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 are extremely lucky to have staff who have worked for us for many years and who have very high standards of cleanliness and hospitality. There is not many questions we have not been asked over the last forty years therefore we are able to answer and advise our guests during their stay with us on Oban and surrounding area. We have enjoyed meeting thousands of guests over the years and have made some very good friends from all over the UK and many countries during their stays with us. 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.

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 made new changes at Dana Villa in 2023 due to the new situation we all find ourselves in to help keep everyone safe, we have changed to private check in/check out to give our guests more flexibility on times of arrival and departure. We no longer provide cooked breakfast at the house but we have negotiated a discount for our guests at the The Scot Hotel which is roughly 250 meters from the house they provide a generous cooked breakfast which has been very popular with our guests. We update our rooms every year with new facilities this year we have changed to Smart Televisions allowing our guests to use their Netflix or Amazon Prime accounts during their stay plus all guests have access to fridge facilities.
