The vacation rental
Maolachy is an 18th century laird’s house with its old farm courtyard, and Garden Cottage – sleeping two - was converted from the byre that once housed Highland cattle. Now the ground floor is a comfortably furnished kitchen/living room; upstairs is a bedroom with coombe ceilings and double/twin beds with duvets/blankets.
All heat, light, linen and towels are included in the rent. VisitScotland 3 Stars. |

The surrounding area
Lochavich is an isolated but accessible glen high on a plateau between the coast at Kilmelford and Loch Awe, and the whole of Lochavich and most of Loch Awe are Areas of Local Landscape Importance. Loch Avich itself is some 4 miles long by ¼ mile wide, and excellent brown trout fishing is available here and locally. The scenery is a complete mixture of moor & loch, of hills, forest and ancient oakwoods, of sky and long-distance views.
Local shops provide the basics with supermarkets (and petrol) in Oban - 40 minutes away. Ferries go to the islands of Mull, Coll, Tiree, Colonsay and Lismore, all possible for a day’s excursion. Cruises, watersports and good riding are available a few miles away.
