Dungallan Country House is a adults only bed and breakfast guest house. In a beautiful, peaceful location, overlooking Oban Bay, the Isles of Kerrera, Lismore, Mull and the sound of Kerrera, this beautiful Victorian building is now a guest house. Originally built as a summer residence by the Duke of Argyll in 1870, Dungallan Country House Bed & Breakfast is located on the edge of the town of Oban. The tranquil and secluded, yet commanding position means that the hotel offers superb views to 3 sides. Oban’s promenade and the town’s shops are just a 10-minute stroll away. All of the rooms with attached bathroom have been fully refurbished to a very high standard and most have magnificent sea views. Free wireless internet access is available throughout. There is a cozy and exclusive bar, offering a choice of local blended and single malt whiskeys. With a huge picture window, the bar overlooks Oban Bay. The residents’ lounge is a great place to relax and read by the warmth of an open log fire.

Couples in particular like the location – they rated it 9.8 for a two-person trip.

    Such a beautiful place, sitting up on the hill overlooking the water. This was one of our favorite places we stayed in, I wish I had booked this one for more than one night, but we were on a tight schedule. Our hosts were very helpful and fun!

    Dungallan was a beautiful bed and breakfast with great views of Oban and incredibly comfortable rooms. Simon was super helpful and the breakfast was delicious. We were also only 15-20 min walk from most restaurants, etc in Oban.

Company info

The new owner and Management Team of Dungallan Country House are delighted to open the doors after an extensive refurbishment. Our new team is looking forward to welcoming our guests from June 2022.

Property info

5* Bed & Breakfast (Visit Scotland) If your next break conjures up images of being looked after in an oasis of calm, having a glass of champagne, whisky or G&T in peaceful surroundings with the most breath-taking views, a short walk to amenities and on the doorstep of Scottish island hopping, then consider a stay with us. It’s clear to see why the Duke of Argyll picked this particular spot to build Dungallan Country House as his summer residence in 1870. Dungallan’s owner completed a 2 stage renovation project in early 2023 to sympathetically reinstate some well-deserved sumptuous, understated charm and glamour. Not only did the bedrooms receive a full refurbishment, three new suites were also created with the addition of opulent roll top baths and underfloor heating. In the main house, the bar, restaurant and library were also treated to the tasteful renovation experience. We offer golf breaks in conjunction with Glencruitten Golf Club, home course of Robert McIntyre. 3 sets of Taylormade clubs are available to use. Please contact us direct for bookings. We are an adult only guest house. We reserve the right to refuse any guest who arrives and is under the age of 18 years old. We reserve the right to charge 100.00 for any damage to your room found after departure.
