We had a wonderful stay near Oban. The house was clean and comfortable! It had a kitchen that was fully stocked and we were able to cook in. The views were amazing! The owner was right next door and able to quickly answer any questions we had. We would highly recommend this property.
The house is so clean with wonderful views of the loch and moutians. Well equipped and well located for numerous trips out. Host friendly and very hospital making it the best cottage we have ever stayed in.
Well equipped, comfortable and clean. We used the home as a hub for our Highland site-seeing excursions. While it was centrally located, driving was slow. Watching the lambs frolicking in the front pasture was great!

Beautiful house with amazing views. Ross welcomed us upon arrival, and both him and his mum are super friendly. The house is lovely and very clean and there is a lot of space for all to do different things without disturbing each other. The views are stunning.
Our stay at Dallachulish Lodge exceeded all expectations. Dorothy and Ross were friendly, responsive and eager to help. I can't come up with the words to describe how beautiful the setting along the lake was. We spent a week here using the house as a base to explore the Highlands. The location was great for accessing a lot of different areas, and was a very quiet refuge to return to in the evening.
We would highly recommend this for anyone looking for a unique place to stay on your next Scottish adventure.
Ideally situated for trips to Oban, Fort William and further afield. Excellent for local walks .Accommodation is first class and the owner is very friendly and helpful, would highly recommend this holiday rental, hence our second visit there.
Very beautiful house with all the necessary amenities.The owners are very kind and helpful.The cleanliness is incredible.The view is beautiful and the location is perfect for visiting Oban or Fort William.The only slight downside is the view of the camper van area from some rooms in the house, but it's a minor detail.
Ross the owner is really a friendly person he has managed the property excellently. the location is so beautiful that no word to explain. i shall come back soon.
The owner is very warm and welcoming. He was ready to help in any way we needed. The house is well appointed, very comforable and has an incredible view.
I highly recommend it.
Terrific place in ideal location for Highlands exploration
The view from the house is terrific for early morning and late evening moments taking in the vistas.
The location was ideal for us to explore Oban, Mull, Ft William, Ft Augustus, and Glencoe within one week.
The house itself is cozy and roomy for family to enjoy their time together. Great sized kitchen area and great to have access to washer/dryer.
Excellent getaway, beautiful quiet location, with easy drive to Oban and Fort William.

We had a wonderful stay in this beautiful house with exceptional views. Excellent host and hope to come back again, will highly recommend the house to family and friends also. Thank you
Grandiose Lage, mitten in den Westhighlands.
Der Blick auf Loch Ceran ist einfach unbeschreiblich schön!!!
Im Haus ist alles was man braucht! Sehr gute Ausstattung der Küche.
Huge house, chefs kitchen, with 3 ovens 8 burners 2 living rooms, two sitting rooms 4 full baths (one with shower instead of tub). Delightful fireplace and absolutely epic views of Loch Creran. It’s close to plentiful hiking, biking and wonderful restaurants. Also not far from Oban, Glencoe, or even Fort William. There are tons of hiking opportunities, distilleries, and great restaurants nearby. And the ferry from Appin to Lismore is only 15 minutes away and it is only a 5 minute ride with some stunning views from the hike. We saw eagles, otters, butterflies, seals, and more plus relaxing with a whiskey overlooking the loch, doesn’t get better. Very responsive and friendly owner Ross, and a delightful friend to everyone Moss.
