Enjoying a peaceful and idyllic situation close to the shores of Loch Etive, these luxurious lodges and lochside studio with relaxing hot tubs offer the perfect retreat for water and wildlife enthusiasts, use of a private jetty and slipway ideal for trailable boats, paddleboards and kayaks, making an excellent holiday base for exploring Argyll.
What to do and see
We overlook the beautiful Loch Etive and are close to many very picturesque places as well as little villages and the busy, bustling port town of Oban.
Lochs, glens, hills, sea – we have it all!
Lovely accommodation and great location. Perfect spot to relax and explore.
Had a fantastic week at Dundonald Landing. The accommodation was spotless and very well equipped. The hot tub was fantastic for unwinding a the end of the day and the location is great for exploring. Loch Etive is absolutely stunning and i am sure we will be returning. Geoff and Lorna made us feel very welcome and the jetty is great if you have a boat or want to do some paddle boarding etc.
My family and I enjoyed a wonderful week at Dundonald Landings. The accommodation was comfortable and well equipped. Thank you so much for a fabulous holiday. Hopefully we will return one day in the future.

We are confused! The lady said the studio was nothing like advertised. Our web-site shows the place exactly as it is! The only ‘hut’ is beside the studio for keeping luggage, bikes or extra gear. Unfortunately, the evening they came it was raining and misty, whereas this morning, I am looking out over the loch at magnificent views and beautiful hills in glorious sunshine.The studio is right on the shore of the sea-loch and there is driftwood and seaweed naturally on the shore – adding to the ambience of the site.Regarding the ‘foosty’ smell – they don’t seem to know the difference between a fresh polish smell and ‘foosty’!!!Shipyard!!?? We, the owners, keep our boat at the far side of the property!Car Parking – there is a private car park for the use of all the chalets at Dundonald Landing. The distance to walk to the Lochside Studio is barely 25 yards!!! The road to cross is a quiet, single-track road.Lastly, re no activities nearby - I think they would have been better booking a bed & breakfast in the middle of Oban rather than a quiet, secluded studio (as advertised) on the beautiful banks of Loch Etive. See previous reviews…. 
Lovely lodge in a quiet setting.
The hot tub is a real bonus!
A shame about the weather, but thank you for a lovely time.

Excellent location right on the waters edge. Magnificent views across the loch. Very peaceful fully equipped cabin. The afternoon hot tub/spa were great. Must do. Short drive to Oban. Highly recommended.

Thanks for your review John, so glad you enjoyed your stay and we’d love to welcome you back in the futureBest regards Lorna & Geoff 
The Chalet is a cosy size perfect for solo travel. I would have loved to spend more time here but was traveling for work but it felt like a holiday in this location. It's just stunning scenery and so quiet with a warm welcome and very straightforward.

Thanks for your comments Andrew - we’re glad you enjoyed your stay and we’d love to welcome you back in the future- best regards Lorna & Geoff 
My husband and I stayed at the Lochside Chalet of Dundonald Landing and we were very pleased. The chalet was equipped with everything we needed. It was very clean, very cosy and peaceful. The view is spectacular!!! The welcome surprise and being checked on to make sure we had everything we needed showed how much they value their customers.

Hi Christina, many thanks for your comments- we’re glad you enjoyed your stay - hope you’ll come back for another visit in the future - best regards Lorna & Geoff 
We just stayed for five days in Palms 2 and had a great time.
The 'cabin' is very modern and comfortable.
There are two bedrooms each with their own luxurious bathroom and rainfall shower.
The entire cabin is a lovely place to base yourself for a week in the Highlands. The hot tub is perfect for relaxation after a busy day.
Unfortunately we had terrible weather so we couldn't avail ourselves of the jetty or BBQ but if you have better weather they make as nice addition.
The accommodation is isolated, down a long track (lots of passing places) there is a small Premier shop about 3 miles up the road and all the supermarkets in Oban itself.
Geoff came to introduce himself and welcome us which was a nice touch as was the Prosecco, chocolates and tea/coffee/milk.
We'd definitely stay again if we're in the area.
Recommended.
FYI:
There is no parking directly outside the cabins but it may be possible to reverse your car outside for luggage unloading/loading. There is a car park at the bottom of the drive.
We had quite a storm one night and the canopy and struts at the front of the cabin were quite noisy in the high winds.

Hi Alan thanks for your review - we’re glad you enjoyed your stay and we take on board your comments - hope you’ll come back again in the future, best regards Lorna & Geoff 
Quiet and beautiful location. Hosts are wonderful with attention to all the details. Accommodations are modern and spotless. The loch is stunning and Oban is close by. Easy access to boat trips to the Islands, Glen Coe, and more.
I stayed at the beautiful chalets at Dundonald Landing during my two visits to Scotland. The area and loch are lovely and peaceful, the hosts and the chalets offer all you need for a great stay.
As an avid bird watcher and nature lover, the area is full of everything you want to see. Close enough to Oban, you can visit a small lively town with friendly stores, cafes and restaurants.
From Oban, we took a wonderful day trip to the island, visiting Mull, Iona and Staffa to visit the beautiful puffins.
The chalets are very comfortable, with all the amenities you need for a great and relaxing holiday; with your hot tub and private patios to spend the afternoon enjoying the lovely views of the loch, I will be sure to be there back again!

I stayed at Dundonald Landing July 2018 and July 2022, this destination is wonderful, close to nature and so relaxing. Only 8 miles from the town of Oban, Dundonald Landing is in North Connell on the banks of Loch Etive.
The location is amazing as a base to explore the west coast of Scotland. We did road trips to Glen Etive (Skyfall Drive) which takes you through Glen Coe first, drove to Ft William to board the Harry Potter express to Mallaig which takes you over the Glenfinnan viaduct and so close to Oban for a choice of shopping, bars and restaurants.
Oban is also the gateway to the Islands. On our trip in 2018 we took a tour from Oban to Mull and then over the the islands of Iona and Staffa. We checked out Fingal's Cave and the highlight was hanging out with the Puffins on Staffa.
Our chalet was luxurious, fully fitted, modern kitchen, well appointed bathroom and bedrooms. The living area had warmth and home comforts. But best of all is your private hot tub where we enjoyed a glass of wine and reminisced about our adventurous day.
Tips: If you visit in the Summer months, it does not get dark until about 10.30pm/11pm. It is lovely to sit waterfront and enjoy watching the colours over the loch change as the sun sets.
Also, I think if you had your own small boat, you can use the dock and slip to launch onto the loch.
