Where Dukes Came to Dream

“I had the pleasure of staying at Dungallan Country House, a former Duke’s residence, and it was truly a memorable experience. Despite being built in the 1870s, the property is absolutely stunning, full of character, and beautifully maintained. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, with amazing views overlooking the islands that make the stay feel extra special. The staff were exceptionally friendly and attentive, always welcoming and happy to help. Breakfast was superb, with great quality and attention to detail, and the afternoon tea here is simply fabulous — a must-try during your stay. The location is another big plus: it’s only about a 10-minute walk from downtown Oban, close enough to be convenient while still feeling peaceful and private. I also loved the library room, which is perfect for relaxing with a book or getting some work done in a quiet, elegant setting. Private on-property parking is available for guests, which is a great bonus in Oban. Overall, Dungallan Country House offers charm, comfort, and excellent hospitality — I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again and highly recommend it.”

“We had the pleasure of staying at Dungallan Country House and were thoroughly impressed by its charm, comfort, and exceptional hospitality. The property itself is stunning, with spacious rooms and breathtaking views that immediately set the tone for a relaxing retreat. Our room, the Dungallan, was beautifully appointed—generously sized, elegantly furnished, and exceptionally comfortable. The attention to detail in both décor and amenities reflected a high standard throughout. The staff were outstanding. From the moment we arrived, we felt genuinely welcomed. Michelle, the manager, was warm and attentive, creating a friendly and inviting atmosphere. Declan, who runs the bar, stood out for his extensive knowledge of whisky and his personable nature. His easygoing manner and professionalism made every interaction a pleasure—nothing was ever too much trouble. Breakfast each morning was delightful, with a varied and well-prepared selection that catered to all tastes. If you're considering a short getaway, I wholeheartedly recommend Dungallan Country House. It offers not only a beautiful setting but also a level of service that makes you feel truly valued as a guest.”

“We stayed at Dungallan Country House September 10–12, and it was truly unforgettable. Everything about this place exceeded our expectations — from the breathtaking views over Oban Bay to the beautiful historic house itself. The hospitality was outstanding. Our hosts made us feel warmly welcomed, and every detail was thought through with care. We ordered the afternoon seafood and meat platters, which were absolutely phenomenal — fresh, beautifully presented, and perfect to enjoy with the views. A special mention also goes to Declan, the bartender, whose knowledge, charm, and creativity made evenings at the bar a highlight of our stay. The breakfast hosts were equally wonderful — friendly, attentive, and serving delicious breakfasts that set the tone for each day. Dungallan Country House is a perfect blend of elegance, comfort, and genuine Scottish hospitality. We cannot recommend it highly enough and look forward to returning.”

“Beautiful stay, with a great view. The service was wonderful, and the food and drinks were good as well. One of the staff members, Declan, helped us carry our luggage and was very friendly, funny, and polite. We also brought food back from the local Tesco, and they warmed it up for us. We highly recommend staying here.”

“This is a delightful house with lovely bedrooms. It is on the outskirts of town and certainly not walking distance. At the moment the property does not offer meals, which is a major retraction, however, this is due to change. A little expensive for what it offers for those working to a budget.”
