Loch-side House with Stunning Mountain and Loch Views

Dalendrien is a single storey house, sleeping 6, stunningly positioned on its own peninsula on the shoreline of Loch Linnhe. a long sea inlet running from the Isle of Mull inland to the slopes of Ben Nevis, and sits on the quiet north shore of the loch just off the scenic road which runs from Fort William to the remote Ardnamurchan Peninsula. It nestles in three acres of grounds with shoreline and slipway, some 25 miles from Fort William and 8 miles north of the Corran Ferry at Ardgour. The house has deceptively spacious rooms which have magnificent views looking over the loch to the mountains of Glen Coe and Ben Nevis itself. The house is comfortably furnished with loch and mountain views from most rooms. The accommodation consists of 2 double bedrooms, 1 twin bedroom with wash basin, (a cot and extra folding bed for a child are available), spacious living/dining room with open fire, conservatory, and a large kitchen that is very well equipped.

Around the house there is an abundance of wildlife and walks up the glen behind, fishing off our shoreline and some have even braved swimming in the loch, but a wet suit is essential.

Lovely stay at Dalendrian
We had a very lovely stay. The weather was a bit miserable but despite this we had a very comfortable time at the cottage. The view of the loch was wonderful. The wildlife - birds, deer, red squirrel and pine Martin were fabulous to watch. The house was the best stocked holiday cottage I’ve ever stayed in - very well equipped kitchen and great selection of games, books and films.

Everything about this house was outstanding - especially its spacious and cosy rooms, the fantastic views, its location and seclusion. You are far away from the hussle, yet within easy reach of all sorts of entertainment. We wish we could have stayed longer, and we will definitely be back!

A wonderful cottage in a wonderful location.
We all had a fantastic week in this wonderful cottage which was just perfect for us all, We could go fishing from the bottom of the garden, while watching Eagles over the mountains behind the cottage, deer, red squirrels and even a pine Martin in the garden, superb views from all of the windows and very easy to book and all the information given to us by Nikki beforehand, she even sent us a brochure pack before our stay with all the local information on, she also kept in contact before and during our stay to make sure all was OK, Thanks again Nikki.

Well equipped property with fantastic views. We fished on the beach near the old jetty and managed to catch 9 pollock between us. The deer and sheep visited the garden and the peace and quiet was wonderful! The weather was better than we were expecting and we had a great time exploring the wider area. Thank you!

Superb Location
Dalendrien is beautifully quiet and serene. We all enjoyed sitting every morning and evening looking at the views and waiting for the Deer to arrive! The property is extremely well equipped, we've only found one other that is as well equipped and that is in Crete! We were extremely lucky with the weather and had some warm sunny days - all in all - perfect

We loved everything about this property and wished we could have stayed longer. The views are amazing and it was so peaceful. We had lots of fun having bbq's on the beach and paddling in the loch. We even saw a seal swim past one morning! The house had everything we needed and more and Nikki's communication with us was fantastic.

Magical location and beautiful comfortable house
Dalendrien was warm and comfortable. On arrival we found the property to be exceptionally clean. The kitchen had every conceivable gadget. The bathrooms were very modern, towels and linen were very good quality. The conservatory was our favourite seating area with its spectacular views of the loch and mountains.

It was set in the most amazing location so peaceful. You had Red deer and a red squirrel visiting and we watched an otter in the loch. Would definitely recommend and stay here again.

Incomparable Rental and Location
The house and setting are gorgeous, any time that we were sitting inside was spent in the sun room taking in the view of the shore and Loch Linnhe. The house was spotless and Nicky has provided everything you require for a comfortable stay, including written instructions, as required; she is an excellent communicator and caring hostess. Unfortunately, we had abysmal weather (pouring rain) during our week which is not good when the majority of the local activities are outdoors.

The most ‘WOW’ property we’ve stayed at!
Wow, what a stunning place! The location and views are unrivalled, the comfort and warmth of the house will have you never wanting to leave! The house has everything you could possibly need and the beds are unbelievably comfortable, the towels big and fluffy, the showers are hot and powerful. The setting is completely private and you will just stare at the loch and mountains all day. I would wake up super early just to see the view again and head down to the loch. Each night we were visited by Deer in the garden right outside the huge windows, the Pine Marten also visited at the same time each day. So much wildlife! It’s a true fairytale property.

Outstanding Property
Dalendrien is an absolutely fabulous place. The views from the property are stunning and totally relaxing just to sit and look at the Loch or Ben Nevis. We saw plenty of wildlife including lots of Finches on the bird feeders, we also saw Red Squirrel, Porpoises and seals in the Loch but the highlight was a Royal Stag that run through the garden (thanks Nicki on the info on how to tell what stag is what) I can't rate this property highly enough, I would give 10 stars if I could. Nicki is a first class host and was quick to answer any questions. We will definitely be back.

Peaceful, relaxing, great location & Nevis view
For my sixth time over the past ten years I planned a week of outdoor adventure travelling up from Leicestershire to Fort William. This year, we decided on a change of accommodation from our usual chalet approach in nearby Blaich. Dalendrien proofed a welcome change! In particular we found the place to have a surprising amount of open space once settled in & winding down to relax. The living room and kitchen diner is a cosy set up with wonderful views out to Loch Eil to the front and Ben Nevis and its mountain range to the side. We felt as a group of two Brothers, a Father and Uncle - that we all had ample space to wind down, relax, find our own space, at the same time as enjoying a spacious communal area at the end of a long day's outdoor activity! The hour is wonderfully kitted-out with all you might need to cook and make the place your own for the week. From everything needed in a functioning kitchen, to a very interesting range of books and games, in some cases dating back a good few decades - which adds a certain character & feel of longevity to the place. Bathrooms are particularly nicely done, modern, and bedrooms are very spacious and comfortable, with plenty of thoughtful touches and pleasant décor to complete. Don't forget the cows! The Highland Cows! haha And plenty of bird life for the avid birdwatcher. Annoyingly, vrbo have limited characters for my review :-/ So I guess, I must leave saying, "we had a great time, thank you!"

Ein liebevoll eingerichtetes Haus in perfekter Lage zum Entspannen
Dieses wirklich großzügige Ferienobjekt bietet alles, was man braucht, um sich für eine Weile zurückzuziehen und zu entspannen. Wir haben besonderen Wert auf Abgeschiedenheit gelegt und genau das bekommen. Dennoch wird es nicht langweilig, denn das Haus bietet ständig wechselnde, immer spannende Ausblicke auf Loch Linnhe und die dahinter liegende Bergkette um Ben Nevis. Das große, gut gepflegte Grundstück hat einen eigenen Zugang zum Loch, wo man am Steinstrand schlendern oder abends am Feuer sitzen kann. Die abgeschiedene Lage lockt einheimische Wildtiere wie Hirsche auf das Grundstück. Im Glen hinter dem Haus kann man wandern und Pilze suchen. Fort William und Glencoe sind gut zu erreichen; Fort William z. B. über eine Fußgänger- und Radfahrerfähre. Mit dem Auto dauert es etwa 30 bis 45 min bis Fort William oder Glencoe (mit Autofähre). Die Ausstattung lässt nichts zu wünschen übrig und entspricht vollkommen der Beschreibung: 2 wunderschön eingerichtete, große Schlafzimmer und ein drittes kleineres bieten 6 Personen bequem Platz. Die beiden Bäder (Eckbadewanne+Dusche+WC bzw. Dusche+WC) sind hochwertig eingerichtet. Küche und Essbereich sind mit allem bestückt, was Selbstversorger brauchen. Zeitvertreib bei schlechtem Wetter bieten TVs, Radio, Bücher, DVDs und Spiele. An- und Abreise sind dank Schlüsselsafe ganz einfach und der Kontakt mit der Vermieterin ist sehr herzlich mit prompter Antwort auf jede Frage.

Grosszügiges Haus mit viel Umschwung mitten in der Natur
Wir haben die Woche in Nikkis Familien-Anwesen sehr genossen. Vor allem die Abgeschiedenheit, die exklusive Lage am Loch Linnhe und der grosszügige Platz im und um das Haus herum haben uns sehr gefallen. Im etwas kleinen aber sehr gemütlichen Wintergarten beobachteten wir bei einem Glas Wein reichlich Wetter- und Wildlife-Sightseeing.
