Summary: 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.

Summary: 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.
John E. May 29, 2024 09:43:47 PM
Summary: 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!
Bardon H. Sep 20, 2023 11:16:39 PM
Summary: 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.

Summary: 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.
