About this property
Skye (Lodge No5), accredited with a Silver Green Tourism Award for sustainable practices and values, offers cosy, dog friendly accommodation for three, in the scenic Lerags Glen on the West Coast.
The rural location ensures peace and privacy but is still less than 3 miles from the vibrant harbour town of Oban, with views across open farmland and walks from the door. Within the same site there is a small children’s play area and The Barn, a rustic pub with plenty of character (seasonal opening hours, please check). A good place to catch up over a drink and tasty local fare following the days adventures. Due to its rural location, you can enjoy some amazing star gazing on a clear night.
Oban, known as the Seafood Capital of Scotland, has a wide range of seafood & fish restaurants and an excellent fish shop if you wish to cook your own. A visit to the Green Seafood Shack on the quayside is a must for those who love their shellfish. The town is otherwise known as the Gateway to the Isles with the Calmac ferry terminal on South Pier giving access by boat to Mull, Colonsay, Tiree, Lismore and Barra. And there’s a handy water taxi across to Oban’s nearest island – Kerrera – from the town’s North Pier.
The town has two impressive cathedrals and an array of independent shops, including the must visit Oban Chocolate Shop and Oban Distillery. There are several supermarkets, cafes, pubs and restaurants, a cinema, golf course, swimming pool and a selection of other land and water-based sports facilities. Not forgetting safe sandy beaches for those looking for a traditional ‘seaside holiday’, numerous historical sites within easy reach including Dunstaffnage and Dunollie Castles and Inveraray Jail and for the horticulturist’s, visits to Inveraray Castle & Gardens and Arduaine Gardens are a must. There really is plenty for all ages to explore.

Wonderful lodges at Cologin. Great location. Close to Oban but very quiet and peaceful. Highly recommended.

The location was ideal for us. It was quiet with spectacular scenery but with good walking for the dog Oban was ten minutes away where you could find plenty of interesting small shops not to mention the multitude of various eating places. Access to the islands via the Cal Mac ferries was there almost like a bus service. I can highly recommend the trip to Iona.

The cottage was well appointed and staff were friendly and responsive. Though the location was a bit of a trip, the amenities more than made up for it. The barn served excellent food!
