The BEST HOLIDAY LODGE I have ever been to!!! We stayed at…read moreCorran lighthouse lodge for 3 nights and I wished it would have been longer. I left with a very mellow heart. We arrived at Corran Ferry Terminal and waited for the Corran Ferry to come back and pick us up to deliver us to Corran. The lighthouse is located just beside the ferry arrival terminal and the fare is £7.90 by car. Pedestrians go free. There is a gate surrounding the premise that keeps unwelcome visitors out. Well, the occasional animals can still be seen,especially the unwelcome of all: mitchis! Argh :-) The first room we entered was the utility room, also part kitchen. This place is HUGE. There is an ante room, which can be used for kids as a play area with their own Telly; another kitchen with a table that seats 6 and a AGA Hob; adjoining are a dining room that seats 10 and a living room with ample of seating space and electronic appliances. They also have SKY TV and WIFI. There are 4 double bed rooms, but only one with sea view, 1 twin with a walk in shower, and a small children's bedroom with a cod. The bed rooms are on the first and ground floor ensuit each. The housekeeper had prepared this place with love and left us milk, butter, coffee, pretty much all the essentials. Outside is a veranda, which we used every day. One evening we had a BBQ. The grounds are extensive and well shielded from the sea by a stone wall. Its breathtaking to walk along the shore during sunset and the views towards the glens are amazing. You find a small convenience shop within a 20 min walk and the pub just around the corner. Fort William is a 30min car ride and food shopping there is recommended, otherwise there is a Coop in Glencoe. Will I go back? Definitely. And who knows you might too :-)

Reviewing our stay at a working Lighthouse in the Scottish Highlands. The best Holiday Lodge I have…read moreever visited. Located on the the Loch Linnhe and between Oban and Fort William. There are 2 ways to get here - one by road (route Ft William) or taking the Corran Ardgour Ferry. This ferry runs every 15-20 minutes. The Lighthouse is just a short walk from the ferry. Where to start. The Lodge is a big enough place for up to 10 people. Although it may sound like a lot of people, the place has 5 very roomy ensuite rooms. 2 on the ground and 3 up the stairs. The house also has a entry utility room with a massive American fridge freezer. a washing machine and plenty room for all the boots and shoes that gather there. Across from the utility room is the 1st bedroom. Further on there is the landing / children's play area, with TV and DVD, Lazy Boy beanbags and a toy chest. here is the 2nd Bedroom and the only en suite that has a bath. - The beds are big and comfortable. I slept like a log! The breakfast kitchen has got an AGA! Which is wonderful. There is a small fridge and plenty of stuff to cook and eat with. - Here we found a welcome hamper with tea, coffee, cake, a couple of bottles of wine, milk, eggs etc.. Right beside the kitchen is the dining room with a big table and 10 chairs. The annex / living has got 4 big comfortable leather sofas. Sky television and BT wireless hub. Plenty of family games and cards. The big feature here is the wood burner. This has been pre-kindled for convenience. Even though I did suggest to light it at times, as I wanted to experience it, we did not have to use it. Must go back in here in somewhat colder times to get the full experience I guess. The upstairs has got a baby nursery / changing room and 3 further bedrooms. All with showers. One of them is a walk in shower with a waterfall shower head. Bliss. One thing you may wonder; if this is a working lighthouse, will that affect the rooms facing it? No it doesn't. The light is shielded for that end. Outside Space: You can park 2 cars with ease on the gravel driveway. There is a walled off play lawn with a picnic table and nearer the lighthouse there is decking with garden furniture to accommodate all visitors. You'll also find recycling bins and access to the beach/shore. From any angle, the views are fantastic! What is close by? In walking distance there is the 'Inn at Ardgour' which is a village shop / pub and hotel & restaurant. It sits opposite the ferry crossing. The town of Glencoe is close (5 min by car) and they have a decent COOP supermarket. Fort William is a little further and for a short day trip very good to visit. In all we had a brilliant time here and big thanks to the housekeeper Cathy that made our stay as problemless and pleasant as possible. I will certainly recommend this to many people and possibly return soon!

It's a fairly large hotel amongst the many B&Bs outside of Fort William. Our rooms are a little noisy until 10pm or so. We asked for a room with a view and ended up with half of one obscured by the lounge/bar building. Room is compact but serviceable. The common rooms, however, are very relaxing to just sit and enjoy the Loch in the setting/morning sun. Nautical maps abound, and there are a couple of topological maps if you are considering a walk in the nearby Glens the next day (of course, you should *actually* acquire one should you do so). The food is, ah, conventional. We went for venison burgers and vension sausages (sauces a little salty), and enjoyed them without anything worthy of special mention. Except the goat cheese, which turned out quite blue-vein. It's as if the meat itself lack that game taste a venison should ideally have, and they're making up for it with the other ingredients.

Something you should at least do once whenever you're in Oban. You could actually walk up, a little trek but nice. It's not far from the harbor. The walk takes you through the cute little neighborhood before reaching the top. Or, you could drive. Whatever is easiest. Once your you're reach it, there's a small parking lot with some home surrounding. It's a small amphitheater that has one of the best views of the harbor. I'm not quite sure if any events are held here like weddings and sort. But checking it out and seeing what's it's all about is quite nice. The large lookout is quite cool for pictures. There's a grassy knoll inside with a path and some benches. But if you walk through some of archway, you have the million dollar view of the town, harbor and island. We didn't spend much time as it was freezing and the wind sure didn't help....lol... They do have lights that shine out to enhance the tower which is quite nice. A nice stroll or a little break is always nice and to have a view like that, it's beautiful. Just taking the scenery in was spectacular. You don't need to spend a lot of time here but it's worth checking out. The views alone, totally worth it.

The entire staff goes above and beyond to make sure that your needs and desires are met. From the included breakfast every morning to the offering of packed lunches for your daily hikes the team here is a cut above the rest. The rooms are large with beautifully updated, modern washrooms and showers. The tea kettles and assortment of coffee and teas(in room) are brilliant and the perfect touch. The main dining area/restaurant is delicious with terrific daily specials. The bar area/casual dining area is just as great and features traditional, Scottish, live music some nights.

Silly Goose is located in the Lime Tree Inn and it's pure perfection! We were greeted kindly and welcomed into the cozy dining space. Spacious but very romantic. We started with drinks enjoying local gin and whiskey. My husband got to try the Sassenach that he'd been eyeing! For dinner, we got the ribeye and chicken. We were so impressed with how well these were cooked. So soft and moist! We were too full for dessert but they had a nice menu of options.
