Dalilea Croft is situated on the north west side of Loch Shiel, in an area known as Moidart in the Western Highlands of Scotland. Fort William is 30 miles to the east and the cottage is approximately seven miles from Acharacle, which has a good general store, post office, tea room, bakery and pub. There are several good restaurants in the area. Boat hire on Loch Shiel is available and fishing can generally be arranged. The traditional single storey cottage is integrated with an architect designed extension with glass end-elevation, providing spectacular loch views and surrounded by its own established garden which is well fenced and bounded to the south by a small burn. The garden is completely secluded, no other house is visible, with Ben Resipol to the south and Loch Shiel, a short walk across a field, to the west. When the water in the fresh water loch is low, a sandy beach makes an ideal picnic spot.
During your stay at this cottage, you're just a quick walk from Lochaber Geopark. Enjoy your stay with amenities like free WiFi and a kitchen in the cottage.

Outstanding property and location
Peaceful and quiet location for winding down and relaxing in a beautiful clean, cosy, comfortable cottage. We we're blessed with sunshine for the week to enjoy the stunning view's from the croft and plenty to do in the Moidart area, boat hire available at the farm just down the bottom of the road to enjoy a day on Loch Shiel this is a much loved and looked after property by the owner, we wouldn't hesitate to come back again, thanks for a wonderful holiday 😊❤️

Dalelia Croft
Very nice property. Directions could have included some mileage from landmarks. Looking for a road sign at dusk on a long road was more challenging than need be. Transporting all linens from the U.S. was something of a chore.

A great place to get away and have a peaceful week. The Croft had everything we needed, was clean, cosy and made a great base for exploring the area. Good walks and plenty of wildlife to be spotted.

Third visit
What can I say we love this place. Lots of lush beaches and walks. The loch at the bottom of the garden for a swim or paddle board is fab. Weather not a friend this time be but always interesting🤣sunshine and torrential rain. The only thing you need to bring is a hairdryer and extension to reach a mirror. Lots of deers about this time of year too❤️

Perfect hideaway
Beautifully located and very well equipped and is obviously a much loved family holiday home. Due to drainage work and disruption to parts of the garden, Steven very generously gave us a discount. There are good local facilities within a few miles so a car is an absolute must. Stunning scenery was only slightly marred by some very wet weather and all the local people we met were friendly and very helpful. A great week!

Summer holiday week at Dalilea Croft
We had a great time in this lovely house and garden in a beautiful location, with walks from the cottage along the loch and into the hills. Drivable to amazing beaches. Good size kitchen with everything you need, and great quality shower. Very nice to have two different living spaces, both with woodburning stoves, and one with large windows facing onto the garden towards the loch. We saw buzzards, bats, and a pine marten from the garden. Steven responded very quickly to address a temporary problem with the house when raised.

Great
We had a great time here, weather not too bad at all for a good few days. Easy distance to some sightseeing destinations (Sanna bay,lighthouse, Tioram(?) castle). Even up to Traigh to play golf and glenfinnan to see the train. House well enough equipped (a microwave would be a huge plus point though). Internet a bit on & off at times, but we knew that beforehand, so not a complaint. Large garden, enclosed, perfect for the dog - try as she did, but she didn't find a weak spot to escape! All in all, we very much enjoyed it and would recommend. Thanks

Wonderful extended Croft in Stunning Area
Utterly peaceful stay in perfect surroundings. Abundance of wildlife, white sand beaches, mountain ranges and lochs very close by. The Croft has everything needed for a comfortable stay - the summer room being the icing on the cake. Intermittent Wi-Fi not a problem for me… the blissful escape I expect from the western highlands! Will definitely revisit.

Far from the crowd
Great location and lovely cottage. The cows at the end of the garden were a bit of a worry with our reactive dog but he loved playing outside and it was so quiet we even got him on the beach by the pier. Maybe some specific handy info about walks from the door - like the fact you can walk through the gates on the lane and near the pier? Only issue for us was the kettle didnt work. Hope to return. Will recommend.

Beautiful Cottage and garden
We have stayed in the area many times but first time stay for the Croft, highly recommended and beautiful very secure garden for our 2 dogs, house very well equipped, the only gripe of it is a gripe is a mirror near a socket would be good for us ladies who need to dry our hair, and maybe a wardrobe to store clothes if there is more than 2 adults but there is a rail with hangers on and drawers so we got by. We would definitely return.

Peace and quiet in a wonderful setting
This was our 4th visit to Dalilea and as ever it didn’t disappoint, it’s a trip and destination wee look forward to all year. We both love the outdoors and wildlife spotting and this area has the latter in abundance and Dalilea is the perfect base. We love the contrast between the old Croft with the main bedroom (with on suite), Kitchen and Dining room with its log burner. And the modern extension with second bedroom, bathroom and the lounge area with its views across Loch Shiel and a second log burner much of our evenings are spent in here drinking wine, reading or watching out for passing Red Dear or one of the White Tailed Eagles. Can’t wait to come back
