Wonderful Stay

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

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.

Incredible week in the Highlands!

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.

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.

This beautiful house is fully decked out.

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.
