Family-run self-catering chalets and lodges in Lerags Glen, 3 miles from Oban
Amenities
On-site the Barn Bar & Restaurant offers food and drinks, with free WiFi available during opening hours. The property has a fishing loch for guests, a children's play area, and outdoor BBQ facilities with a picnic area. Electric vehicle charging stations and accessible parking are provided, and the site is family-run with a designated smoking area and non-smoking rooms.
Accommodations
Cologin offers self-catering chalets, lodges, and private houses, all with fully-fitted kitchens, dining areas, and living rooms with flat-screen smart TVs with Freeview. The five-bedroom farmhouse supplies towels and bed linen, while chalets and lodges provide bed linen; the farmhouse is the only property with a private hot tub. Each unit has a private bathroom with shower or bath, and the lodges feature enclosed gardens for dogs.
Location
The site sits in the green hills of picturesque Lerags Glen, less than 3 miles from Oban on Scotland's west coast. Oban is known as Scotland's seafood capital, with many restaurants, cafés, coffee shops, and craft stores, plus ferry crossings to the Isle of Mull. Local walks start from the doorstep, including a forest trail to a loch, and the area offers hiking, golf course access, and walking tours.
Dining
The on-site Barn Bar & Restaurant serves meals and drinks, with opening hours typically from Friday to Monday (check in advance for exact days). Guests can bring laptops into the bar during opening hours to use the free WiFi. For self-catering, each property has a fully-fitted kitchen, and Oban's restaurants and seafood eateries are a short drive away.
Pet-Friendly Accommodations
Cologin is dog-friendly, with pet bowls provided and an outdoor shower for washing dogs after walks. The property has a forest walk to a loch within walking distance, and many lodges offer enclosed gardens for safe off-lead time. The Barn Bar welcomes dogs, and the site allows pets in designated rooms, with a nearby network of trails for daily exercise.
