Iain United Kingdom

This was a superb place to stay. It was clean, comfortable and conveniently located, particularly if you wanted to travel to Mull. There was even a charging point for electric cars! The hosts were helpful and the area is beautiful. Very highly recommended. We'd definitely come again.

Debbie United Kingdom

The flat is beautiful and very well equipped. The views are absolutely stunning. We loved Lochaline, enjoyed the snack bar and the pub/hotel and found the shop really well stocked and the laundry v reasonably priced. We did lovely walks in the local area and swam in the loch, v cold! We also went to Mull twice, very easy and quick on the ferry, and drove to Fort William one day to go white water rafting. The owners are lovely and are really helpful and very responsive to questions. Great area for wildlife lovers.

Rachel United Kingdom

Beautifully decorated and modern, with the most amazing views. Very tranquil and picturesque. Perfect for the ferry to Mull and exploring the completely underrated Morvern peninsula. Great wee shop with all you need. No restaurants open when we were there due to Covid but very reasonable snack bars for lunches. Have a nosey at the mine and walk along to the end of the wee marina for some fossil hunting. Also lovely beach looking across to Mull. We used it as a base and went to Mull twice (and on to Iona and Staffa), Nc’Nean distillery and Ardnamurchan lighthouse and Sanna Bay. Amazing scenery everywhere! Would definitely recommend and stay again. Great responsive and friendly host .

I have lived in Lochaline for forty two years. My daughter and I run the local shop and Post office. I have a passion for gardening and tend four allotments. My self and my partner are both retained firefighters, we bought the old Lochaline Firestation and renovated it. Hence the naming of the apartments into watch’s This is a new venture for us and we welcome surgessions from our guest to help us improve your experience at the Old Firestation Apartments.
Lochaline is a small highland village with a strong close knit community. It has easy access for Mull by ferry and then onwards to Oban. Fort William is an hours drive away across the Corran ferry. The area is popular for walkers and cyclists. There is an abundance of wild life on your door step, including pine martin, otter and deer with numerous different birds to see,
