The Lodge
Dalavich
Dalavich (Dail Abhaich) is a small village in Argyll and Bute, Scotland. It lies on the western bank of Loch Awe. "Dalavich" is Gaelic in origin and means "meadows or valley of the River Avich". The village was established by the Forestry Commission in 1952. Some villagers still earn their living directly from forestry work in the surrounding Inverliever Forest where forest walks and cycle routes are maintained by the Forestry Commission.
There is a Community Hall with bar and restaurant and the Wild Rowan Cafe (now licenced) with post office and general store.
Popular forest walks include the Dalavich Oakwood (SSSI) Trail and the Avich Falls; there are many more nature trails, e.g. to Otter Point.
Loch Awe is less than a minute's walk from Burnside Lodge and guests have fishing rights there. Boats and bikes can be hired in the village.
​
Add Burnside Lodge is a log cabin set in a 0.5 acre plot of mixed woodland, giving a great privacy and a sense of adventure. Built by the Forestry Commission, it is "dual-skinned" with a fully electrical heating system and insulated roof; therefore suitable for occupation at all times of year.
There are 2 bedrooms (one double and one containing 3 bunks) and a mezzanine sleeping area over the open-plan living room/kitchen. There is also a sofa bed which sleeps 2.
Accessible from the living room is the south-facing balcony overlooking the picturesque burn which is part of the grounds.
The Lodge is furnished and equipped simply but practically for your comfort and convenience while experiencing something a little bit different.
