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.

5/5 Upfront Reviews - July 2023
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.

LochAweside lodges is one of the most beautiful locations we have ever stayed in. The area was larger than we thought, with beautiful walks. The scenery was just breath taking. The lodges are well set out with good privacy.
