Ians Lodge, Kilchoan - Self Catering

This is a pleasant chalet set in a peaceful location . It is comfortably furnished but basic. Other chalets seemed to have more 'finishing touches' such as seating in the verandah, tubs of flowers at the entrance etc. Although the kitchen, bedroom and bathroom were very clean, there were lots of cobwebs on ceilings and down the sides of some pieces of furniture. We reported a jammed sink plug in the bathroom at the beginning of the week and it still wasn't fixed by the end of our stay. However, the manager was very friendly and helpful. Altogether a reasonably priced place to say especially with children, but I would have expected a little more luxury for the price really.

Lovely position. However the cabin was shabby and dusty and had seen better days. The shower was poor and the kitchen equipment, glasses and cutlery were insufficient for a full house but adequate for our needs.

Location is great and we had a good holiday but the property needs some TLC. Rugs and flooring are worn. Windows dirty, cobwebs, garden partly overgrown. New bedding needed.

I would describe this property as shabby chic but acceptable. It is beginning to show its age. It could have been cleaner around the edges, especially in the bathroom. The area is fantastic for exploring and relaxing.

We had a glorious few days weather wise which meant we didn't spend that much time in the lodge. We had a great walk up Ben Hiant, walked down to the ferry over to Tobermoray and visited the lighthouse and Sanna Bay. Enjoyed having a pub within walking distance too. The lodge was well appointed with plenty of puzzles and books for indoor days, not that we had any! The views are stunning - out back there's a hill and some friendly sheep, whilst at the front there's a great view down to the sea. I would say the lodge could be a bit cleaner, but apart from that, all good.
