About this property

Dalendrien is a single storey house, sleeping 6, stunningly positioned on its own peninsula on the shoreline of Loch Linnhe. a long sea inlet running from the Isle of Mull inland to the slopes of Ben Nevis, and sits on the quiet north shore of the loch just off the scenic road which runs from Fort William to the remote Ardnamurchan Peninsula. It nestles in three acres of grounds with shoreline and slipway, some 25 miles from Fort William and 8 miles north of the Corran Ferry at Ardgour. The house has deceptively spacious rooms which have magnificent views looking over the loch to the mountains of Glen Coe and Ben Nevis itself. The house is comfortably furnished with loch and mountain views from most rooms. The accommodation consists of 2 double bedrooms, 1 twin bedroom with wash basin, (a cot and extra folding bed for a child are available), spacious living/dining room with open fire, conservatory, and a large kitchen that is very well equipped.

Around the house there is an abundance of wildlife and walks up the glen behind, fishing off our shoreline and some have even braved swimming in the loch, but a wet suit is essential.

Soul Recharging Paradise

We had the absolute privilege of staying at Dalendrien, and it’s safe to say it was an experience we’ll cherish forever. From the moment we arrived, it was clear that this property is not just a holiday home but a labour of love. Nestled in the heart of God’s land, Dalendrien offers a perfect sanctuary for anyone seeking peace, beauty, and a connection to nature that’s truly unparalleled.Every detail of the property has been carefully considered, from the immaculate cleanliness to the breathtaking views that greet you at every window. The warmth and care in the design and upkeep reflect a level of methodical attention that is simply remarkable. As a family, we found everything we could possibly need to make our stay comfortable, from the well-stocked kitchen to the cosy living spaces that made every evening feel like a dream.The surrounding area is nothing short of divine – a testament to the grandeur of nature and the wonder of Scotland’s wild beauty. Whether it was exploring the rugged landscapes or simply sitting back and soaking in the serene views, we felt deeply connected to the soul of this place.To Nicki: thank you for sharing this gem with us and for your unwavering dedication to creating a haven that is both welcoming and awe-inspiring. Your attention to detail is second to none, and it made all the difference in turning a lovely stay into an unforgettable one. We left with full hearts and a longing to return.

Peaceful, relaxing, great location & Nevis view

For my sixth time over the past ten years I planned a week of outdoor adventure travelling up from Leicestershire to Fort William. This year, we decided on a change of accommodation from our usual chalet approach in nearby Blaich. Dalendrien proofed a welcome change! In particular we found the place to have a surprising amount of open space once settled in & winding down to relax. The living room and kitchen diner is a cosy set up with wonderful views out to Loch Eil to the front and Ben Nevis and its mountain range to the side. We felt as a group of two Brothers, a Father and Uncle - that we all had ample space to wind down, relax, find our own space, at the same time as enjoying a spacious communal area at the end of a long day's outdoor activity! The hour is wonderfully kitted-out with all you might need to cook and make the place your own for the week. From everything needed in a functioning kitchen, to a very interesting range of books and games, in some cases dating back a good few decades - which adds a certain character & feel of longevity to the place. Bathrooms are particularly nicely done, modern, and bedrooms are very spacious and comfortable, with plenty of thoughtful touches and pleasant décor to complete. Don't forget the cows! The Highland Cows! haha And plenty of bird life for the avid birdwatcher. Annoyingly, vrbo have limited characters for my review :-/ So I guess, I must leave saying, "we had a great time, thank you!"

Excellent property

Well equipped property with fantastic views. We fished on the beach near the old jetty and managed to catch 9 pollock between us. The deer and sheep visited the garden and the peace and quiet was wonderful! The weather was better than we were expecting and we had a great time exploring the wider area. Thank you!

Lovely stay at Dalendrian

We had a very lovely stay. The weather was a bit miserable but despite this we had a very comfortable time at the cottage. The view of the loch was wonderful. The wildlife - birds, deer, red squirrel and pine Martin were fabulous to watch. The house was the best stocked holiday cottage I’ve ever stayed in - very well equipped kitchen and great selection of games, books and films.

The most ‘WOW’ property we’ve stayed at!

Wow, what a stunning place! The location and views are unrivalled, the comfort and warmth of the house will have you never wanting to leave! The house has everything you could possibly need and the beds are unbelievably comfortable, the towels big and fluffy, the showers are hot and powerful. The setting is completely private and you will just stare at the loch and mountains all day. I would wake up super early just to see the view again and head down to the loch. Each night we were visited by Deer in the garden right outside the huge windows, the Pine Marten also visited at the same time each day. So much wildlife! It’s a true fairytale property.

It was set in the most amazing location so peaceful. You had Red deer and a red squirrel visiting and we watched an otter in the loch. Would definitely recommend and stay here again.

Outstanding Property

Dalendrien is an absolutely fabulous place. The views from the property are stunning and totally relaxing just to sit and look at the Loch or Ben Nevis. We saw plenty of wildlife including lots of Finches on the bird feeders, we also saw Red Squirrel, Porpoises and seals in the Loch but the highlight was a Royal Stag that run through the garden (thanks Nicki on the info on how to tell what stag is what) I can't rate this property highly enough, I would give 10 stars if I could. Nicki is a first class host and was quick to answer any questions. We will definitely be back.

A wonderful cottage in a wonderful location.

We all had a fantastic week in this wonderful cottage which was just perfect for us all, We could go fishing from the bottom of the garden, while watching Eagles over the mountains behind the cottage, deer, red squirrels and even a pine Martin in the garden, superb views from all of the windows and very easy to book and all the information given to us by Nikki beforehand, she even sent us a brochure pack before our stay with all the local information on, she also kept in contact before and during our stay to make sure all was OK, Thanks again Nikki.

Magical location and beautiful comfortable house

Dalendrien was warm and comfortable. On arrival we found the property to be exceptionally clean. The kitchen had every conceivable gadget. The bathrooms were very modern, towels and linen were very good quality. The conservatory was our favourite seating area with its spectacular views of the loch and mountains.

Dalendrien is beautifully quiet and serene. We all enjoyed sitting every morning and evening looking at the views and waiting for the Deer to arrive! The property is extremely well equipped, we've only found one other that is as well equipped and that is in Crete!

Fix an idea in the mind of where to relax, find peace and tranquility, then Dalendrien is that fix.

Instant karma is the feeling you get when you first walk through the door of this amazing home. Yes, it is a home, comfortable, relaxing, peaceful and all of the conveniences anyone could ever need. My family and I could quite easily have spent the two weeks of our holiday there without setting foot out of the home and the land belonging to the property. There are however many great adventures in the nearby areas to take advantage of. Magnificent scenery, historical castles and monuments, wildlife in abundance, walks galore for both the unfit and those with bags of fitness energy. Did we manage to do all that we wanted to, no. So it looks like we shall have to return at some, hopefully sooner, later date.

Beautiful location with a great deal of thought behind giving a high quality to the stay

Despite it being a fair hike around the Loch to the house after Fort William it is fair to say that it is worth the extra 35 mins The silence hits you straight away and it is a great place to relax away the stresses of life. Stunning views down the Loch and across to Ben Nevis combined with the private beach make for a great location. The house is very well stocked with a great kitchen and plenty of comfy chairs etc. As it is Scotland deploy the midge spray before you get out of the car as they can be a handful at times, however you almost get used to them after a while. Plenty of things to do but consider Wild West tours and Seaxplorer rib rides out of Glencoe. Also Rockhopper do a fabulous couple of hours on the water in kayaks

About the host

Hosted by Nicki Makris

About the owner: I live in the south of England and love visiting my family's "Scottish family home" especially as I now have grandchildren who enjoy the freedom, openness of it and mucking about in the water, as my children did when they were little! We all love the house very much and enjoy sharing it with anyone who stays in the house, we hope you feel that it is a home from home.

Why they chose this property

My parents bought the house to escape the pressures of work, have family visiting, enjoy the peace of its remoteness, the scenery and to use a boat on the loch. My grandmother was Scottish so my father felt he was returning to his roots. It is surrounded by water and mountains, remote, but not so remote that you are away from all that the area offers.

What makes this property unique

A warm, cosy family house that offers a vast array of activities and wildlife on the doorstep come rain or shine and snow! We want you to feel it is a home from home experience.
