Loch-side House with Stunning Mountain and Loch Views

We stayed at Dalendrien to celebrate a 50th birthday, and wow – what an incredible place! From the moment we arrived, we felt so welcomed. The champagne and birthday card were such thoughtful touches and set the tone for a truly special stay.The house itself is amazing – beautifully kept with fantastic attention to detail, and those views! Every window offered a stunning panorama, making wildlife watching an absolute joy. We were treated to nightly visits from a pine marten, three majestic stags in the garden, numerous deer, and even a barn owl flying overhead. We also spotted an otter in the loch and were lucky enough to see a white-tailed eagle soaring above it – unforgettable!It was the perfect break in every way. Peaceful, scenic, and full of wildlife – we didn’t want to leave. A huge thank you to Nicki for making our stay so memorable. We’ll definitely be back!

Superb!!! Marvelous house with an unbelievable insane beautiful view from the great and big windows looking at the loch, sky, mountains and the big garden next to the beach of the loch! Fantastic beds and good equipment in the kitchen, 2 ovens and magnetron & easy cooking on induction. One big bathroom with shower & WC and one shower & WC. Enormous bath towels very comfortable & some small.Comfortable sitting room and a nice conservatory in front of the house. And every day the sheep visited and in evening time the deer!!It’s worth to drive the single track road of approx. 8 miles (from the ferry to the house). Lots to see & discover a couple of walking trails.We were sorry to leave!!

We had the absolute privilege of staying at Dalendrien, and it’s safe to say it was an experience we’ll cherish forever. From the moment we arrived, it was clear that this property is not just a holiday home but a labour of love. Nestled in the heart of God’s land, Dalendrien offers a perfect sanctuary for anyone seeking peace, beauty, and a connection to nature that’s truly unparalleled.Every detail of the property has been carefully considered, from the immaculate cleanliness to the breathtaking views that greet you at every window. The warmth and care in the design and upkeep reflect a level of methodical attention that is simply remarkable. As a family, we found everything we could possibly need to make our stay comfortable, from the well-stocked kitchen to the cosy living spaces that made every evening feel like a dream.The surrounding area is nothing short of divine – a testament to the grandeur of nature and the wonder of Scotland’s wild beauty. Whether it was exploring the rugged landscapes or simply sitting back and soaking in the serene views, we felt deeply connected to the soul of this place.To Nicki: thank you for sharing this gem with us and for your unwavering dedication to creating a haven that is both welcoming and awe-inspiring. Your attention to detail is second to none, and it made all the difference in turning a lovely stay into an unforgettable one. We left with full hearts and a longing to return.

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!

Very comfortable and well equipped house. Beautiful and relaxing environment with a lot of possibilities to walk and interesting activities. Really enjoyed the (evening) visits of the deer and sheep.

Very comfortable house in a large garden right on the shore of loch Linnhe! We stayed a week in July and had a wonderful time. We want to come back again!

We have stayed at this property before and have come back for Hogmanay. We have had an amazing time. It is so peaceful and quiet and the wildlife is stupendous. The cottage is so warm and welcoming especially with the open fire. We love it and will be back.

By far the best holiday accommodation we have ever stayed in. You felt you were at home. The views are spectacular. Peaceful and quiet. Lovely to see so much wildlife, including the stag that made his nightly appearance. Highly recommend this property. Nicki the owner is wonderful.

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!

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.
