Traditional Loch Side Croft Cottage And Garden With Contemporary Extension

Please note we book Saturday to Saturday only. Your arrival and departure day must be a Saturday.

Dalilea Croft is situated on the north west side of Loch Shiel, in an area known as Moidart in the Western Highlands of Scotland. Fort William is 30 miles to the east and the cottage is approximately seven miles from Acharacle, which has a good general store, post office, tea room, bakery and pub. There are several good restaurants in the area. Boat hire on Loch Shiel is available and fishing can generally be arranged. The traditional single storey cottage is integrated with an architect designed extension with glass end-elevation, providing spectacular loch views and surrounded by its own established garden which is well fenced and bounded to the south by a small burn. The garden is completely secluded, no other house is visible, with Ben Resipol to the south and Loch Shiel, a short walk across a field, to the west. When the water in the fresh water loch is low, a sandy beach makes an ideal picnic spot.

Beautiful Cottage and garden
We have stayed in the area many times but first time stay for the Croft, highly recommended and beautiful very secure garden for our 2 dogs, house very well equipped, the only gripe of it is a gripe is a mirror near a socket would be good for us ladies who need to dry our hair, and maybe a wardrobe to store clothes if there is more than 2 adults but there is a rail with hangers on and drawers so we got by. We would definitely return.

Peaceful week
A great place to get away and have a peaceful week. The Croft had everything we needed, was clean, cosy and made a great base for exploring the area. Good walks and plenty of wildlife to be spotted.

Third visit
What can I say we love this place. Lots of lush beaches and walks. The loch at the bottom of the garden for a swim or paddle board is fab. Weather not a friend this time be but always interesting🤣sunshine and torrential rain. The only thing you need to bring is a hairdryer and extension to reach a mirror. Lots of deers about this time of year too❤️

Perfect hideaway
Beautifully located and very well equipped and is obviously a much loved family holiday home. Due to drainage work and disruption to parts of the garden, Steven very generously gave us a discount. There are good local facilities within a few miles so a car is an absolute must. Stunning scenery was only slightly marred by some very wet weather and all the local people we met were friendly and very helpful. A great week!

Summer holiday week at Dalilea Croft
We had a great time in this lovely house and garden in a beautiful location, with walks from the cottage along the loch and into the hills. Drivable to amazing beaches. Good size kitchen with everything you need, and great quality shower. Very nice to have two different living spaces, both with woodburning stoves, and one with large windows facing onto the garden towards the loch. We saw buzzards, bats, and a pine marten from the garden. Steven responded very quickly to address a temporary problem with the house when raised.

Great
We had a great time here, weather not too bad at all for a good few days. Easy distance to some sightseeing destinations (Sanna bay,lighthouse, Tioram(?) castle). Even up to Traigh to play golf and glenfinnan to see the train. House well enough equipped (a microwave would be a huge plus point though). Internet a bit on & off at times, but we knew that beforehand, so not a complaint. Large garden, enclosed, perfect for the dog - try as she did, but she didn't find a weak spot to escape! All in all, we very much enjoyed it and would recommend. Thanks

Wonderful extended Croft in Stunning Area
Utterly peaceful stay in perfect surroundings. Abundance of wildlife, white sand beaches, mountain ranges and lochs very close by. The Croft has everything needed for a comfortable stay - the summer room being the icing on the cake. Intermittent Wi-Fi not a problem for me… the blissful escape I expect from the western highlands! Will definitely revisit.
