About this property

Malabar Chalet with Full Length Windows and Spectacular Loch Views

The Malabar is our larger chalet, situated at the head of Loch Caolisport - providing fantastic views from the full length windows which run the length of the living room.
Considerably larger than most chalets now, it provides comfortable living space for up to 4 people. The modern kitchen has a table which pulls out, and a washing machine (ideal for longer stays), the living room features great views, the shower room has just been re-modelled and refurbished, and the bedrooms are very comfortable having had new beds and new carpets last year - one double, and one twin.
The verandah runs along the front of the property, and there are plastic chairs provided for guests use. There is also a picnic bench specifically for The Malabar on the grass just in front of the property. Behind, there is a large grass area - although this is not enclosed, it is ideal for kids playing ball games etc.
It is ideal for a couple, or family of 4 - and much less 'camping' than most chalets advertised!
Ellary is a private estate, situated near Lochgilphead, Argyll - on Scotland's beautiful West Coast. As a guest on the estate, you have unrestricted access to the thousands of acres, just waiting to be explored. There are so many walks right from the doorstep (perfect for your four-legged friend), and if you pop up to the office, we can point you in the direction of our favourite sandy beaches and lookout points.
Ellary is ideal for you if you are looking to escape, and enjoy some time out - with 13 properties spread over 4 miles, there are very few people around.
Fishing is available to those who want - fishing off the rocks for mackerel is free, and we can issue permits for the Lochead Burn and hill lochs, to catch sea trout & brown trout - permits are £20 per rod, per week.
We are well located for bird watching and wildlife spotting, with over 80 species of birds (including golden & sea eagles), as well as otters, seals, deer, red squirrels, pine martins, badgers - the list goes on!
Photographers will enjoy the landscape the West Coast of Scotland is famous for, and can enjoy the frequent sunrises and sunsets that turn the sky pink. Drone enthusiasts will also find some great scenery to photograph, with no neighbours for miles.
There is a small practice golf course on the estate, which you are most welcome to use free of charge (we can even lend you a set of clubs), and there is also a private harbour which you are welcome to make use of if you wish to bring a boat with you. You will find lots of suitable places for launching kayaks around the estate (and the otters might even join you for a paddle if you're lucky!).

Beautiful view and location
Wifi and electric is extra and the property isn’t fully double glazed so heating it was expensive as it was pretty cold most days (probably fine in summer). The wifi package ran out the day before we left so there wasn’t much point paying for another, and there was no mobile phone coverage in the area which made communication difficult. There is a phone but needed coins. We also had to fully clean the property before checkout at 9.30 and while not dirty, I’m not sure it had a deep clean in a while. That being said, the owners were really helpful and friendly, and pointed us in the direction of their private rhododendron woods which led to a pretty beach, and gave us a key to a private road leading to Castle Sween. Communications with them were easy and they had a direct free phone number. The estate itself was very picturesque and it was possible to have our dog off lead in some areas which he really enjoyed. We even saw a seal. Nearest shops were 25 or so minutes away so not as far as we expected.

Quiet getaway
The Chalet was situated on a private estate in a beautiful location there where other chalets nearby but it felt as if we were on our own. I would recommend shopping before you arrive because there are no amenities close by. We had a lovely stay and would recommend the estate and the area. We had fun in, on and around the loch, where captivated by the red squirrels roaming freely and loved the walking.
