Dundonald Landing - Palm 2 Ardchattan

This is Dundonald Landing - Palm 2. It's a lodge near Ardchattan, right by Loch Etive. It's detached and sits on its own plot.

It sleeps four. Two bedrooms and two bathrooms, both ensuite. It's got a 5 Star rating, which means it's well-equipped and finished to a high spec.

The main thing is the location. It's about 30 yards from the shore of the loch. There's a private deck with a hot tub and a barbecue. The lodge faces south so you get the sun on the deck. There's a private jetty you can use if you want to fish, swim, or keep a kayak handy.

Inside, it's open plan. There's a gas stove that looks like a wood burner, a large TV, and doors that open right out onto the deck. Both bedrooms have TVs. The stairs inside are a typical lodge style, not steep.

The road in is a single track that runs along the loch side. It's good for a quiet walk or a bike ride. Ardchattan Priory gardens are along that road. The nearest places for a shop or a pub are Connel or North Connel. It's about an hour's walk, or a few minutes in the car. Connel has the Falls of Lora under the bridge, which is worth seeing.

Oban is about seven miles away. That's where you go for bigger shops, lots of places to eat, and the ferries to the islands like Mull.

For things to do nearby, within about half an hour you've got Dunstaffnage Castle, the Ocean Explorer Centre at Dunbeg, and Tralee Beach for sand. The cycle path from Oban to Fort William goes past nearby. For wider planning, National Trust for Scotland Argyll and Wildlife Argyll have good information.

Facilities: it has parking, WiFi, a dishwasher, washing machine, and all bedding and towels are included. No pets.
