The Lodges and cabins are situated alongside the beautiful Loch Awe, one of Scotland's largest & most picturesque freshwater lochs. Renowned for its wild fishing for both trout and salmon. The Lodges are located near the village of Dalavich, on the western shores of Loch Awe in Argyllshire, Scotland. Set amid the peace and tranquility of the magnificent Inverliever Forest, with beautiful forest walks, fishing, trail biking, bird and wildlife watching close at hand, the location is excellent for both a restful and relaxing break. An ideal location for touring the many interesting places to visit in the Western Highlands.

There are many beautiful forest walks in the area, including The Oakwood Trail, The Avich Falls Trail and Duncan's Walk, all of which meander through ancient oak and pine forests. Pine marten, fox, wild cats red deer, roe deer, otter and red squirrels can often be seen. There are also regular sightings of eagles and ospreys. Apart from the signed trails, there is up to 100 miles of forest tracks and roads in the area, suitable for the serious walker or mountain biker.

Loch Awe itself is beautiful, far away from the hustle and bustle of modern life, and as of now, still under-developed with no noisy watersports to shatter the peace. It has many islands worth visiting, including Innis Chonnel Castle, the first stronghold of the Campbells. The fishing is legendary with monster trout up to 30lb (~14Kg), salmon, sea trout, pike, perch, char etc, depending on the season.
