This B&B is close to the centre of Oban. You can get to the centre on foot (10 minutes), using a shortcut taking you past some shops and parking lots, avoiding the main road. This was very helpful as we wanted to leave the car on the B&B’s private parking lot and make a day trip to the Isles of... More

I was staying at the Ulva Villa Guest House last weekend with 3 of my girlfriends (all in our early 30's). On arrival the female proprietor was unbelievably rude. When we went to check in she advised us in a very aggressive tone "I've just finished cleaning the rooms!" - clearly mad that we wanted to access them - all... More

Stayed at the Ulva Villa Guest House for one night with three friends and can honestly say that I've never felt more unwelcome in a 'guest house'. We arrived at two and were snappily told by the female proprietor that she'd 'just finished cleaning the rooms'. Good. We hoped so. Don't know if she wanted them to sit empty for... More

Six of us stayed in various rooms following a stay in the Outer Hebrides. We arrived back at Oban at 7.30 pm and Martha and John welcomed us warmly and settled us into our rooms. The cleanest room we have ever stayed in. In the morning we all had different breakfast choices and they were all fantastic, can highly recommend... More

We booked Ulva Villa at short notice on a holiday weekend and were very pleased with the accommodation. We frequently stay in Oban and have stayed in a wide variety of accommodation there. We would certainly recommend Ulva Villa for simple comfort and value. It is a traditional B&B with very small but comfortable rooms and a good breakfast. Rooms... More

Though we stayed for only one night the B&B was very comfortable and clean. This was out 4th B&B on this trip and the second that was run more like a hotel than a true B&B. There really wasn't a common area to gather and talk with one another at night and though the hostess and host were nice we... More

Excellent choice of breakfast including smoked salmon and scrambled eggs & fresh fruit selection which was delicious. Off street parking and close to supermarkets - Lidl,Aldi,Coop and Tesco. Knowledgeable host - room a bit on the small side as is ensuite but very clean.
