West Ferlochan is a well appointed 4 star cottage in Benderloch. Our cottage, near Oban, is in a tranquil location close to Loch Creran. It is situated by the A828 Oban/Fort William road and therefore provides excellent access to the best of the West Highlands and a whole range of recreational facilities. Just a 20 minute drive to Oban - " the Gateway to the Isles" or a 50 minute drive to Fort William - described as "the outdoor capital of the UK".
The cottage is situated on our 220 acre grass and woodland farm. It is the home to our Highland Cattle, namely Sguir Mor Fold and our Galloway cattle namely, Ashfield Pedigree Galloways. Willie MacLean, our Farm Manager, will be pleased to show you both the farm and the cattle upon request.
On the first floor there are two main bedrooms, each with 6ft beds (which can be divided into twins if required) with views overlooking the farm and onto the two small lawns to the front and rear of the cottage. Both rooms have Smart HD Ready LED TV's on the wall as well as vanity dressing tables. The first floor bathroom has a bath with a shower unit, hand basin and WC.
Downstairs there is a small children's bedroom with twin 2'6" beds (which can be made into a double bed if required). There is a bathroom with a shower cubicle, hand wash basin and WC.
The kitchen/diner is fully equipped with utensils, pots and pans, filter coffee machine, electric oven and hob, microwave, sink, dishwasher, fridge and freezer. There is a docking station for iPod/iPhone. The dining table seats 6 comfortably.

Guests have the sole use of the two small lawns to the front and rear of the cottage. We have outside table and chairs and an egg chair for our guests.
There are many walks to be had on the farm from almost sea level up to the top of Sguir Mor - the owner's Mount Everest! From here you will have spectacular views of Loch Creran, Mull and mountain views towards Ben Nevis.
