Craig Lora

4 Star Cottage, 4 star location.

Craig Lora - the cosy cottage on the river - is a delightful refurbished 19th century detached stone cottage on the bank of the River Orchy about half a mile from the village of Dalmally set amidst beautiful countryside. Ideal for hillwalking with Ben Cruachan mountain range, delightful woodland walks, fishing on the Orchy, Strae and Lochy - rich in trout and salmon - wildlife with golden eagles, otters and red deer, castles - including the romantic ruins of Kilchurn Castle on Loch Awe, boat hire, golf (9-hole at Dalmally) and fascinating pre-history in Kilmartin Glen all set in beautiful tranquil countryside; visit the 'Hollow Mountain' water power station deep in Ben Cruachan (where you can take a bus inside) or there is the exhilirating walk to the dam high above where the vista alone is worth the climb - stunning views and fresh air - or, if all this is too much, just sit, relax by the river and enjoy Craig Lora - the cottage on the river.

Craig Lora cottage is perfectly located to access Scotland's most outstanding scenery of the western and central highlands; to the west is Loch Awe, Loch Etive, Lorne and Appin; to the north - Glencoe and Fort William; to the south - Loch Lomond, Loch Fyne, Kintyre and Cowal. From Oban (22 miles), you can take a ferry to the Western Isles of Mull, Iona and Colonsay or visit some of the 20 notable gardens Argyll has to offer all within driving distance. Dalmally itself is served by the Glasgow/Oban train and the West Highland Line can be joined at Tyndrum or Bridge of Orchy. Historic Inveraray is just 15 miles where you may wish to visit Inveraray Castle, the beautiful home and gardens of the Duke of Argyll.

Excellent 4-star accommodation includes log/coal fire, private south facing terrace and garden which leads down to the river - the perfect place to sit, relax and unwind - take in the scenery and the sunset and hopefully the weather is kind. Excellent bar food/restaurant within walking distance. Linen, logs and coal included - sorry, we are unable to take pets and small children.
