The villages of Duror and Kentallen are not far from the Argyll Coastal Route from Balluchulish in the north and Oban in the south. Located close to the shores of the breathtaking Loch Linnhe, this property offers guests the chance to take part in a number of activities, such as kayaking, fishing and sailing. The area's wildlife, such as seals, porpoises and golden eagles, in addition to its magnificent scenery and sunsets makes it popular with photographers.

The Kentallen to Ballachulish cycle path, which is part of the National Cycle Network, is great if you're keen cyclists, or if you're looking for something more leisurely, the pebble beach of Cuil Bay is only a short stroll away (1.2 miles) and the views of the mountains are spectacular. To see more of the sea loch, you can take a cruise and enjoy the commentary. Castle Stalker (6.5 miles), a 15th century keep standing proud on its tidal islet in Loch Linnhe, is perfect for a touch of history and beauty, but visits are limited and should be pre-booked.

If you become enamoured with gorgeous Glencoe, make your way to the Highlands Titles Nature Reserve (1.5 miles) to become a Laird, Lord or Lady of Glencoe by bagging yourself a small piece of land as a souvenir and helping to preserve this special place which is home to lots of wildlife from deer to pine martens.

A delightful apartment for our October week. Well furnished, well equipped and cosy. A lovely venue for coast and hill walking in the immediate vicinity and for visits to Oban, Colonsay (a morning sail there and back) and Lismore. Good restaurants within easy distance.

Great location for exploring the area, fantastic for dogs as there is a great forest walk just across the road. Not really any suitable area in the property to keep wet dogs as fully carpeted from the door in beige colour??? Bed very uncomfortable with very thin duvet and pillows

As accommodation it was lovely, brilliant location and superb grounds, but you should really check ahead of time all the rules around bringing pets. It is not made clear beforehand that dogs aren't allowed on furniture or need their own bed, luckily we brought ours, but it is difficult to untrain pets used to going on furniture. Also not being ableRead more to leave the dog on its own meant we had to significantly change plans and this is quite difficult when you have a dog that isn't very active. Hide

We loved this apartment and its location. If you enjoy fresh air and adventure this destination is a must for you!

We had a wonderful week in Linnhe Cottage. It is the perfect home base for exploring the beautiful area around Ballachulish. Easy driving distance to Fortwilliam, Skye and Oban and very close to the stunning mountains and scenery of Glencoe. The cottage itself is very clean, comfortable and was the perfect size for me, my wife and our wee dog ArchiRead moree. There are endless things to do in the area if you enjoy walking, climbing, cycling, water sports, snow sports (winter), etc. Hide
