Ians Lodge is a comfortable wooden house set high on the hillside behind the crofting village of Kilchoan. It has wonderful sea views over to the Isle of Mull and provides a great location for walking, fishing, and boat and wildlife tours. It backs straight on to the open hills and there is a convenient stile just behind the property. The comfortable and charming furnishings create a lovely country cottage feel and the accommodation would suit families looking for a break away from the strains of everyday life. It is a great spot for star gazers, as there is no light pollution and on a clear night the Milky Way always provides a stunning treat. Conveniently situated for all the local amenities as well as walking and exploring, and just a fifteen minute walk from the ferry to Tobermory, Isle of Mull.

Hi the only niggle was the shower - this was very very poor in fact i got wetter walking in Tobermoray , not good if you are coming in from the hills and need a warm shower
We had an enjoyable holiday at Ian's Lodge however this was due to the fantastic location of the lodge which is set in a beautiful part of the country.
We arrived in darkness and the lodge was quite difficult to find. Unfortunately the bed wasn't made up and there were no linens left for us to do it ourselves despite requesting this at the time of booking. To be fair this was rectified the next day when we were handed sheets to make the bed up ourselves but had to tumble dry them for a while due to dampness.
The lodge itself was not cleaned prior to our arrival and again I had to do this myself as my partner really, really, did not want to stay there. It took some persuasion on my part which kind of put a dampener on our stay, it's not something you envision having to do when you go for a break!
There was an overpowering smell in the kitchen which was difficult to identify, we suspect something may have died behind one of the kickboards in the kitchen, we didn't investigate because that would have been the end of our holiday!
The TV didn't work and the shower had no water pressure but thankfully there was a bath.
The location was fantastic and we saw some amazing wildlife during our trip which made up for the disappointment of the accommodation - just!
The house overall needs better cleaned as we found it all quite dirty, I thought it could also be in need of a freshen up . We spent 4 nights at £400.00 which is perhaps a bit overpriced for the time of the season and the standard of the accommodation. We have stayed at other lodges namely Comraich which is of a better standard.
It was such a lovely weekend and the accommodation was great. A wonderful place to go for a weekend and catch up with old friends.
