On summer days take advantage of the large decking area with outdoor furniture which overlooks the large private garden, fields and loch. The lodge is ideally situated 250 metres from the loch. Iona Lodge is approximately a five minutes walk from the village of Dalavich which has a shop, cafe and post office where you can enjoy a morning coffee, light lunch and stock up with groceries. Take-away meals are also available from the cafe. Mountain bikes are available for hire, by the day or week. A social club is also situated at the end of the cabin site which is owned by the village but guests from the cabins are warmly welcomed. The restaurant, bar and kitchens have had a complete refurbishment. The bar is open 7 nights a week (April to October) and 4 nights a week (November to March). The restaurant is now open for evening meals on Thursday to Sunday and is called The Lochview Grill. A coin-operated laundrette is also available on site. Explore There are many beautiful forest walks in the area, including The Oakwood Trail, The Avich Falls Trail and Duncan’s Walk, all of which meander through ancient oak and pine forests. Pine marten, fox, wild cats red deer, roe deer, otter and red squirrels can often be seen. There are also regular sightings of eagles and ospreys. Apart from the signed trails, there is up to 100 miles of forest tracks and roads in the area, suitable for the serious walker or mountain biker. Loch Awe itself is beautiful, far away from the hustle and bustle of modern life and as of now, still under-developed with no noisy water sports to shatter the peace. It has many islands worth visiting, including Innis Chonnel Castle, the first stronghold of the Campbells. The remains of Crannogs; pre historic island hut settlements, can still be seen when the loch is low, at different points along the lochside. The fishing is legendary with monster trout up to 30lb (\~14Kg), salmon, sea trout, pike, perch, char etc, depending on the season. A wonderful base to explore the boundless historical and scenic attractions that are on offer in this beautiful region. Explore further afield to Inveraray and historic Kilmartin Glen, it's also an easy day trip to Oban, one of the seafood capitals of Scotland.

Accès wifi facile. Joli cadre avec un shop qui fait aussi de la restauration simple mais de qualité. Accès au logement très enclavé, a bien plus que 30min d'Oban comme stipulé dans l'annonce (50min minimum en réalité).Cuisine très sommaire : pas de cafetière (même à piston), pas de saladier ni d'égouttoir, une seule poêle en très mauvais état et petite pour 4 personnes, pas de barbecue alors qu'il est annoncé, suface du logement bien inférieure aux 80m2 annoncés (50m2 tout au plus), un canapé en fin de vie avec plaid pas très net.Communication avec le propritaire uniquement au téléphone et en anglais. Il ne repond pas aux messages écrits. De plus il ne prend pas en compte nos demandes. Il y a une camera sur la terrasse ??? Et dans la cuisine un compteur (en Livres) on ne sait pas exactement de quoi... ##### Christine S. Stayed 6 nights in Aug 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Françoise J. 5 Jun 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, listing accuracy #### Bel endroit mais enclavé Le lieu est très cocooning, le chalet agréable donne sur une très belle vue. Les accessoires de cuisine nécessiteraient un suivi. Quid de cet appareil avec compteur branché dans la cuisine dont nous n’avons pas obtenu la fonction auprès du propriétaire. Une caméra sur la terrasse.... Le point le plus gênant est l’enclavement du lieu qui nécessite de faire déjà 30’ de voiture sur une très belle mais très petite route avant de rejoindre un grand axe. ##### Françoise J. Stayed 6 nights in May 2024 This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent 15 Aug 2023 #### Sehr schöne Unterkunft in abgeschiedene Idylle. Das Ferienhaus verfügt über alle Annehmlichkeiten, die einen Aufenthalt zu einem Erholungserlebnis machen können. Als Base für weitere Ausflüge sehr geeignet. Der Platz verfügt über einen Kiosk mit Mittagstisch und ein Lokal mit kleiner, aber ausreichender Speisekarte. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Moffat Manor Holiday Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Moffat-Hotels-Moffat-Manor-Country-Park.h17709438.Hotel-Information) > > [Ardoe House Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Aberdeen-Hotels-Ardoe-House-Hotel-Spa.h23180.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree by Hilton Edinburgh - Queensferry Crossing](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dunfermline-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-Edinburgh-Queensferry-Crossing.h1152983.Hotel-Information) > > [Cromlix](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dunblane-Hotels-Cromlix.h1580309.Hotel-Information) > > [Glenisle Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Isle-Of-Arran-Hotels-Glenisle-Hotel.h2810774.Hotel-Information) > > [Loch Melfort Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Oban-Hotels-Loch-Melfort-Hotel.h520255.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Glasgow East Kilbride by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Glasgow-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Glasgow-East-Kilbride.h520428.Hotel-Information) > > [Queen of the Loch, Balloch by Marston's Inns](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Alexandria-Hotels-Queen-Of-The-Loch-By-Marstons-Inns.h33716771.Hotel-Information) > > [Auchrannie Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Isle-Of-Arran-Hotels-Auchrannie-Resort.h4140916.Hotel-Information) > > [The Fenwick Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kilmarnock-Hotels-The-Fenwick-Hotel.h80930.Hotel-Information) > > [Glasgow Westerwood Spa & Golf Resort ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Glasgow-Hotels-Glasgow-Westerwood-Spa-Golf-Resort.h893990.Hotel-Information) > > [The Kenmore Club](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Aberfeldy-Hotels-The-Kenmore-Club.h9234110.Hotel-Information) > > [Lochside House Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cumnock-Hotels-Lochside-House-Hotel-Spa.h900570.Hotel-Information) > > [The Whispering Pine Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Spean-Bridge-Hotels-The-Whispering-Pine-Lodge.h11119972.Hotel-Information) > > [Macdonald Crutherland House and Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Glasgow-Hotels-Macdonald-Crutherland-House-And-Spa.h569463.Hotel-Information) > > [Gleddoch Golf & Spa Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Port-Glasgow-Hotels-Gleddoch-Hotel-Spa-Golf.h1502522.Hotel-Information) > > [Dalmahoy Hotel & Country Club](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Dalmahoy-Hotel-Country-Club.h21999.Hotel-Information) > > [Parklands Hotel & Country Club](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Glasgow-Hotels-Parklands-Hotel-Country-Club.h14766742.Hotel-Information) > > [Duck Bay Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Alexandria-Hotels-Duck-Bay-Hotel.h30097341.Hotel-Information) > > [The Portpatrick Hotel by Compass Hospitality](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stranraer-Hotels-Portpatrick-Hotel.h13430754.Hotel-Information) > > [Leonardo Boutique Huntingtower Perth](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Perth-Hotels-Leonardo-Boutique-Huntingtower-Perth.h859382.Hotel-Information) > > [The Busby Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Glasgow-Hotels-The-Busby-Hotel.h10004759.Hotel-Information) > > [Coylumbridge Resort Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Aviemore-Hotels-Coylumbridge-Resort-Hotel.h520458.Hotel-Information) > > [The Tarbet Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Arrochar-Hotels-The-Tarbet-Hotel.h13407451.Hotel-Information) > > [Portavadie](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tighnabruaich-Hotels-Portavadie.h11974275.Hotel-Information) > > [Onich Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Fort-William-Hotels-Onich-Hotel.h48439952.Hotel-Information) > > [Seamill Hydro Hotel & Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/West-Kilbride-Hotels-Seamill-Hydro-Hotel-Resort.h1818213.Hotel-Information) > > [Bowfield Hotel and Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Johnstone-Hotels-Bowfield-Hotel-Country-Club.h1796965.Hotel-Information)
