Beds and bedrooms were comfortable but had could have done with more shelving for clothes, to a degree we lived from our suitcase which just fitted in the wardrobe. The electrics could do with an overhaul and the shower work-around did not work so it was baths rather than showers. Such a lovely location though; close to the road but our children in upper primary/secondary so not an issue and amazing views across to Mull and the shoreline.

.. despite the rather rough weather all week, we still found rest and relaxation there. It is well-equipped and central with easy access to local shops etc. Our only bugbear would be that we found the double bed mattress somewhat hard... but not totally uncomfortable. Perhaps a thicker one would suit folk of our age? All in all, however, a most enjoyable stay :-)

“Lovely cottage with absolute stunning views out every window.”

It had everything required for a comfortable stay. Double mattress was a bit hard, but that’s my only criticism.

Warm and cosy and equipped with everything you could need from bedding to cooking utensils. Comfy bed and fantastic views. From the window and balcony you could see straight over the sea to Mull. Literaly 2 mins walk to the rocky shoreline. Ardnamurchan was wonderful. Superb unspoilt scenery, quiet roads and breathtaking scenery. Kilchoan a lovely peaceful village. Visited the lighthouse, Loch Sunnard, Sanna Cove and Tobermory. Would definitely come here again. Would recommend this to anyone who appreciates the quiet enjoyment of the best scenery Scotland has to offer. Best holiday we have had !

Views were absolutely amazing and such a peaceful quiet area which was settling for my autistic son. We very quickly met the owner, she was very helpful with enquiries about local wildlife as I do professional photography and was keen to get to some amazing spots quickly. Ferry port was very close, can walk, but we took the car down to the car park and then got on as passengers only, as most of the tours were literally a 10 min walk from Tobermory Ferry Port. First night, we had the pleasure of looking at 3 Golden eagles, thanks to the owner showing us where they are, also lots of Buzzards within 5 minutes.. Hundreds of Deer if your prepared to go out about 5.30am in the summer and the lighthouse is worth a visit.. If catching the Ferry to Tobermory we recommend Sea Life Surveys and definitely recommend Ewan at Nature Scotland We do recommend this Chalet and we have nothing negative to say about it but we would like to put out a few points to anyone hiring it as a precaution, because once your there, its pretty much in the middle of nowhere. Theres a good selection of DVD's, but we recommend you take your own as well, Co-Op Tobermory, sale the latest DVD's from £9.99 I think the only thing that could probably improve it, would be to have wi-fi. ADVISORYS 1. Get your shopping on the way, we were fortunate to buy an electric ice box that plugs into the car and got our Asda shop for the week 4 hours prior to arriving. The nearest supermarket is co-op Tobermory, we didn't visit the local post office as it was old fashioned in the way that Wednesday and Sundays are closed and its a long way just to get some milk. 2. Take a mattress topper if you don't like hard beds.. I get back trouble and appreciate a hard mattress, but found the double bed too hard and unable to sleep, however the bunk beds were fine. 3. Airer, blessing to have a washing machine, but seeing as it rains more than shines there is no airer to dry your clothes. 4. Storage for food.. All the cupboards are completely stocked up with utensils therefore we had to use underneath the breakfast bar to store all tins etc.. 5. How to get there... the map clearly indicates that it is on the junction to the ferry port, this is not true and apparently tourist information get this issue all the time finding it.. go past the junction, carry on down the road and you will see a war memorial on the right hand side after the cafe with the large teapot sign on it..the entrance is right just after the war memorial, generally there is a large red warning cone by the gate. 6. If coming from the South, save your self 4 hours journey and book a Ferry from Oban well in advance...Corran is great to cross, and the views are amazing going that way, but you can save a lot of time with the short cuts through Mull

It took a long while to reach the town as there appears to be only one way in and out. There is a local shop and petrol but this is limited to opening times and expensive. The nearest town is several miles away, I think about 60, so only book this accommodation if you are willing to drive or are looking for a quiet peaceful stay. Having said that, the location is gorgeous with only the sound of birds and sheep. Locals are friendly. The only place to get good is one pub / hotel, the Kilchoan hotel which I would recommend. The chalet itself is equipped with everything needed for self catering and is very comfortable, however, it was not as clean as it could be. It needs a thorough deep clean. It is perfectly adequate however. The bathroom could do with updating, but again, it is adequate. The views each morning from the chalet are stunning.

When the weather was not so good, we were able to sit in the chalet (which was easy to heat) look at the incredible view and watch TV! The area in which the Chalet is situated is really wonderful - great views all round. The easily accessible village shop also made life much easier as other shopping facilities are many miles away. Night time comfort was also good with nice beds / bunks. My only warning to future guests is to beware that hot water in the shower which can be quite vicious!

Mr Jones, June 2018
“We had a very good stay at the chalet and would certainly book through Sykes again in the future.”

Mrs Stewart, May 2018
“Very well appointed accommodation, ecactly how it was described on the website.”

However, the real star of the holiday was the peace and quiet of the stunning location.

“The garden is great for small children but it's not totally enclosed.”

The property

A pleasant wooden lodge in the Highland village of Kilchoan, Ardnamurchan in Scotland.

A small family wanting a relaxing, remote holiday would find this the perfect spot.

The Chalet is situated amongst beautiful countryside on the outskirts of Kilchoan village, with a few steps taking you up to the property.

Immediately you are welcomed with the warming open plan living area with wood-panelled walls giving the place a rustic, homely feel.

The sitting area comes with two comfortable sofas and a TV, there is no better place to sit and let your hair down in this secluded location, with the breath-taking views of the scenery over the Sound of Mull to accompany it.

The kitchen is compact yet surprisingly well-equipped, boasting all of the appliances you will need during your stay.

The bedrooms are cosy and comfortable.

The Chalet comes with an enclosed lawn, when the weather chirps up, sit out on the covered decking and just take in the phenomenal views on show.

The village of Kilchoan is pretty and secluded, offering quiet beaches as well as a village shop, post office, petrol station and local pub.The closest town with a range of amenities and activities is Tobermory, which is 30 minute ferry ride away, a popular choice with a lot of visitors to Kilchoan.

Tobermory, the principal town on the isle of Mull, is a pretty bustling town with a busy pier, museum and aquarium amongst its many attractions.

The Chalet at Ben Hiant is a warming little lodge in a simply amazing location.

About the location

KILCHOAN

Tobermory 7 miles (via ferry).

The pretty village of Kilchoan is the most westerly village in mainland Britain, situated on the stunning Ardnamurchan Peninsula and surrounded by magnificent mountains and breathtaking coastal views. The area close to Kilchoan offers a choice of quiet sandy beaches and an abundance of wildlife with eagles regularly spotted overhead. Until 1900 the village was only accessible by sea, but now access is via a single track road that leads through some of the most beautiful scenery in Scotland. The village has good local services including a shop, pub, restaurant and community centre. From Mingary Pier there is a regular ferry service across the Sound of Mull to Tobermory which gives the opportunity to explore the islands of Mull and Iona. There are wildlife excursions on land and sea and the new Ardnamurchan Distillery and Natural History Centre are added attractions. A short drive away is Ardnamurchan Point complete with its own lighthouse and visitor centre which is well worth a visit, or perhaps you simply want to sit on the glorious Sanna Beach and enjoy the views across the clear blue sea to the islands of Muck, Eigg and Rum?
