What guests think
At Blair Villa South, guests highlight warm, attentive hosts, clean and comfortable rooms blending period character with modern bathrooms, and a quiet, walkable setting near Oban’s center and transport, though the property sits atop a notably steep, narrow hill.
Several reviews note small room sizes, handy in-room touches, and pleasant views from the lounges. Breakfast is a cold takeaway selection stocked in the fridge; many found it handy, while others missed a cooked meal or felt it was limited. On-street parking is limited and some found the address tricky to find. Expect a charming, quiet base with friendly hosts—best for travellers comfortable with hills and a light breakfast.

A quiet, lived-in and lovely place in Oban. The place is charming and easily walkable to all Oban has to offer, but with easy parking to stash your car. We only stayed for a night during 2022 so didn't access/use any common areas, but our room was cozy and had everything we needed.

From the moment I arrived at Blair Villa Bed and Breakfast, I was enchanted by its charming ambiance and beautifully decorated and curated interiors, which exuded warmth and welcome. The owners were friendly, warm, and helpful, making my stay not just comfortable but truly memorable. Although the room was on the smaller side, it was cozy, with an updated bathroom with hot water and admirable water pressure – a true luxury after a day of exploring Oban. The breakfast, a delightful assortment of yogurt, croissants, fruit, and granola bars, was conveniently delivered daily to the mini-fridge in my room. While it was not a hot breakfast, it was thoroughly satisfying and the perfect start to my mornings. The bed deserves a special mention for its comfort and the fluffiest pillows. This B&B's prime location in Oban is unbeatable, and while there is no designated parking, finding a free spot was surprisingly easy during my visit. For anyone considering a visit to Oban, I cannot recommend Blair Villa Bed and Breakfast highly enough. It truly represents what a B&B should be – charming, comfortable, and with a personal touch that makes your stay unforgettable. A prime location with easy access to everything Oban has to offer, this B&B is a must-stay. Looking forward to my next visit!

We were initially taken aback by the steep, and narrow hill on which the B&B is situated. Parking was limited, so we ended up in a car park in town. After dragging our luggage up to the residence, we were out of breath. Inside, more steps up to the room. And, oh, what a room. Not large, but lovingly kitted out with Victoria-era style fittings. The pillows are a tad thick and firm. Hard to on the neck. We slept nine hours! Breakfast is a to-go bag in a tiny in-Rom fridge. Bananas, granola bars, cheese, croissants, yogurt, and juice. More than adequate. Overall, a surprise, and a delight.

Our room was perfect! The Villa is only 2 blocks away from the shopping and dinning areas in Oban and we were able to walk to and from them easily. We also enjoyed the communal sitting area with views of the harbor and the Isle of Mull. This was our favorite accommodations throughout our 14 day stay.

Beautiful Victorian house with comfortable rooms and luxurious modern bathrooms. The room had charming decorations and a comfortable bed, and even included a floor-standing fan, which was a huge relief when the day we stayed turned out to be unusually warm. The owners were nice, friendly people. The location is great, just a little up the hill from the train station, ferry terminal, and city center of Oban, on a quiet residential street.

Our stay was wonderful…very friendly and helpful owners. Lovely House and beautiful room. Modern bathroom and comfortable bed. Refrigerator in room was stocked with continental breakfast every day, Room was tidied and clean towels supplied on a daily basis. Only drawback was a steep walk up to house especially when you have luggage. Very convenient though to Main Street on the harbour.

Bathroom updates were excellent. USB connections by both nightstands. Bag of breakfast was soooooooo thoughtful and served as our picnic on the go, driving up to Glencoe. I totally understand why this place is given 10 Stars despite the steep stairs. It's a gem, book it!

Absolutely lovely place to stay. My husband and I stayed for just 2 nights before tying the knot in Appin. We arrived early and didn’t expect to be able to check in until the booked time, but they went out of their way to accommodate us early. The room was very nice and clean, and the whole property was gorgeous, beautifully decorated and has amazing character - also with a fantastic view! They also supplied our room with tea, coffee and a mini fridge pre-stocked with some breakfast/snacks! The property is quite close to everything, we were able to walk everywhere we needed to go in Oban from the property! We couldn’t have picked a better place to stay!

Staying in Oban is challenging - the location of Blair Villa is a benefit and a liability, depending on how you see it - located on the highest road atop the town, it doesn't have any noise or neighbor issues, but you might not want to climb the hill after a evening's merriment. The room was comfortable but small, with breakfast offered in a takeaway bag rather than a buffet, and everything seemed well kept although we didn't get to chat with the owner much.

Beautiful Victorian house with comfortable rooms and luxurious modern bathrooms. The room had charming decorations and a comfortable bed, and even included a floor-standing fan, which was a huge relief when the day we stayed turned out to be unusually warm. The owners were nice, friendly people. The location is great, just a little up the hill from the train station, ferry terminal, and city center of Oban, on a quiet residential street.

Dining
Breakfast is a cold in-room takeaway (yogurt, croissants, fruit, snack bars) that many found convenient, especially for early starts, but several missed a cooked option and a few were disappointed.

Staying in Oban is challenging - the location of Blair Villa is a benefit and a liability, depending on how you see it - located on the highest road atop the town, it doesn't have any noise or neighbor issues, but you might not want to climb the hill after a evening's merriment. The room was comfortable but small, with breakfast offered in a takeaway bag rather than a buffet, and everything seemed well kept although we didn't get to chat with the owner much.

Quiet little place on top of a hill overlooking Oban. Room was very clean and stylish. Sack breakfast was adequate and good for early morning travel.

Welcoming, clean and perfect for our one night stay. A charming B&B. Would stay again. Breakfast was a takeaway ‘doggy bag’ containing juice, fruit, croissant & muesli bar, which was great for us as we had an early start. It is located up hill from the town centre, so the steep walk will not suit all. On street parking on the road outside.

We had a great stay at the Blair Villa and highly recommend! The hosts were so friendly and helpful, and the home felt like an authentic Scottish experience. It was convenient location - walkable to everything in town. The room was clean and comfy, and the hosts even left snacks/breakfast in the fridge for us each day. 5 stars!

Beautiful home, lovely room with comfortable bed and good shower. Breakfast was disappointing, simply a paper bag with yogurt, croissants, fruit, cheese, granola bars. We still enjoyed our stay very much. The hosts were lovely but didn’t introduce themselves or seem to want to chat.

Attention to detail, is the description I would give. The little things, like a rain shower, plugs equipped with USB, a coffee press, wonderful breakfast takeaway. Would highly recommend!

Absolutely lovely place to stay. My husband and I stayed for just 2 nights before tying the knot in Appin. We arrived early and didn’t expect to be able to check in until the booked time, but they went out of their way to accommodate us early. The room was very nice and clean, and the whole property was gorgeous, beautifully decorated and has amazing character - also with a fantastic view! They also supplied our room with tea, coffee and a mini fridge pre-stocked with some breakfast/snacks! The property is quite close to everything, we were able to walk everywhere we needed to go in Oban from the property! We couldn’t have picked a better place to stay!

Short walk from the center of town. Parking is free but on the side of a hill on a narrow street.

My room was small, but bathroom was very spacious. Owner kept my fridge stocked with breakfast items. Fridge needs to be colder. Wifi could be better. Other wise it was perfect. I liked that is was clean and quite. Old house was very cute. Guests were reading in the upstairs louge. If you have a car, there didnt appear to be any parking. Ower kept to himself a bit, but very friendly. I've been to Scotand 12 times, so I'm very independent. My local tour guide friend stayed nearby at Royal hotel, and his hotel was very hot and noisy (this B&B was close in price and way better than royal hotel).

We had a lovely stay. It was really convenient to walk into town. The breakfast in the fridge was amazing considering we had early starts! And we found parking right outside. The decor is really nice too. You can tell it's a labour of love. Only reason I dock a star is because the mattress wasn't great for 2 people to sleep on. If one person moves around the other one moves too so it was hard to get to sleep. The duvet was also excessively warm for summer even with the fan running. We had to take it out and just use the cover.

Great accommodation. The hosts has put a lot of effort and thought into there bedrooms to ensure you have a great stay. Only down side is the walk up the step hill from the front. But it is only a short walk. But the view is stunning.
