Switch off, unwind, leave the city lights behind - and head to Dalavich, near Oban, west Scotland.
The Old School is a brand new self catering accommodation development - and it's also the perfect place for you to retreat, relax and recharge. This exciting refurbishment of the old village school provides four bright and spacious self-contained luxury apartments, each with one, two or three bedrooms.
Set in the heart of nature, surrounded by stunning scenery and amazing wildlife, the village of Dalavich is certainly "off the main road". On the shores of Loch Awe along a 14-mile single-track road, it's just a couple of hours' drive from Glasgow, but it's a different world. Yet there’s plenty to do to help you recharge your batteries. You’ll find numerous lochside and forest walks, including the Dalavich Oakwood Trail, and a number of attractive cycle routes. Keep your eyes peeled for wildlife and you might even spot an otter, a wildcat or an eagle en route. And if you’re more interested on the wildlife on the end of your fishing line, some of the largest brown trout fishing in Europe are waiting to be caught in Loch Awe. You're sure to catch trout scotland in Loch Avich - just 10 minutes' drive away - and fishing permits are available locally. Boats are also available for hire in the village. First-time visitors should take advantage of a free fly fishing taster available exclusively to our guests in the fishing season!
You can also use Dalavich oban hostels as a base to explore the spectacular scenery nearby – head north to Glen Coe, south to Crinan, or west to Oban and the isles. |
