Great location and dog friendly with easy access to Oban. Had a nice meal at the Barn. Katie was very helpful as usual. Hoping to return later in year.

We stayed here for a few days before heading off to the islands. Great location and very handy having the Barn next door. Very convenient for Oban with some lovely walks from our doorstep. Accommodation was good with everything we needed. Will return

We were due to come in November but the storm hit. So Katie very kindly accommodated us in March. Kindly note the holiday insurance does not cover for national disasters. Speaking of Cologin, it was a very good location , close to ferry terminal, good restaurant, nice for walks, hot shower, iron, ironing board, towels, very comfortable beds. Highly recommend for couples and family. We came with two kids and my oldest loved the play park there. Will come again if I can.

We really enjoyed our recent stay at Cologin in our dog friendly cabin. We had great communication with Katie who made us feel so very welcome from start to finish. Our cabin was immaculate inside and had everything we needed. The decking area to the front was a nice addition too. The Barn had a very warm and welcoming atmosphere and we enjoyed our meal there very much.Would definitely recommend if you’re looking for rustic peace and tranquility within a short drive to the buzz of Oban.

Location is topnotch, service great and cottage comfortable. Barn Bar great!
However the kitchen is below par. Tiny fridge, not a decent knife in the house and a bit dangerous actually is that there are no potholders or places to safely put a hot pan or oven tray, like a metal rack or stone surface. This could all be easily fixed.
Beautiful oak flooring, where oh where to put the dirty wellies and the dog’s water? We ended up using towels to protect the floor. All in all a pleasant stay with minor flaws

We felt so welcomed on our arrival with a special surprise gift for our anniversary and a visit from Katie and one of her lovely dogs to check we had everything we needed.
The property was clean and had everything we needed in terms of cooking utensils etc. The bed and sofas were comfortable and we appreciated the decking outside with table to eat at as it was a lovely sunny weekend.
The TV had all the modern add ones you might want. We used the Freeview but there was also Amazon and Netflix etc if you have an account with them.
The location was perfect. Such a short drive into Oban yet when you are on site it feels very quiet and rural. We loved the walk up to the loch with our dog.
We also felt very welcomed at the Barn bar which is on-site. We had a delicious meal there on our first night and our dog was more than welcome.
We would definitely recommend Cologin to anyone wanting to stay in the countryside but still nearby to amenities and activities and especially those with dogs.

They were very dog friendly. Friendly and fast service and delicious food.

We just spent our first weekend at Cologin Farm Lodges & it was an amazing weekend from start to finish. It was all last minute booked on Thursday but the lovely Katie sorted us out with a great deal within an hour of contact. The lodge was perfect with everything you need including a lovely view, private outside area and it was immaculately clean. The Barn bar & restaurant on site has a great varied menu of fabulous food & a very friendly atmosphere with lovely staff. Julie especially made us feel very welcome. Whether you want a peaceful time at the lodge, to go walking/hiking or go the very short journey to Oban town this is the place to go. We will be back as soon as possible. Thanx again to everyone at Cologin.

Booked Cologin because it was dog friendly, close to Oban and had a restaurant/bar on site which also allowed dogs. Lodge was warm, welcoming and well equipped and both beds were very comfortable. Great walks in the woods close to the site. Less than 10 mins to drive into the centre of Oban.

Absolutely fabulous, The views, the general location are second to none. A peacefull quiet Glen, a bar/restaurant 50 yards away what more would you want? I've lost count of how many times we;ve stayed there over the past 25+ years but we've booked another 2 stays for this year at the same cottage and I ain't easily pleased.

Just returned from a week with my husband and dog, staying at Cologin Lodges. Despite the terrible weather we had a lovely time. The chalet was very clean, well equipped, warm and comfortable. Having The Barn open was a real bonus. We enjoyed the occasional beer there and delicious Sunday roast. The location of the lodges is ideal, very close to Oban for shops and whisky tour at the distillery. We even had a cold dip in the sea at Ganavan! Lovely little walk through the woods on the estate to a pretty lake too. The only slight negative is the phone/internet signal which was poor but understandably so.

It wasn't out 1st time visiting Cologin and won't be our last, we took our rescue Dog Axel as he is very noise reactive and gets frightened very easy, so the tranquility of Cologin and Lerags Glen was a perfect place for him and with the lodge being dog friendly it was great to bring him with us. The lodge had everything we needed for a few days away and having the Barn on site was fantastic, a wonderful place for great food and have a few drinks.

Excellent location, feels very remote whilst being within 10 minute drive of Oban.

When booking I found it wasn't easy to determine what each type of lodge offered. The information is there, but in text. Some icons per lodge type would be a great improvement.

The lodge we stayed in was pleasant enough, but for self catering I'd at least expect some oven gloves and a pizza cutter.

The internet connection is truly poor (as stated on the website). Quite difficult to reliably do basic things (check emails, messages, etc). It would be great if this could be improved. There is also an argument to simply forgo internet connection entirely.

All in all, a pleasant couple of days, but the price is a bit high (for one couple plus infant) to recommend to others

Had a lovely week at Cologin with my son and daughter in law unfortunately it was to hilly for my husband who isn’t that mobile I thought the loch would be okay to get to for fishing but was to far up hill apart from that the location is fine for visiting other places my son is definitely returning in the future and leaving us oldies at home would definitely recommend Cologin beautiful scenery and Oban is really close staff are very friendly and helpful

Great location and great food at the Barn restaurant!
The lodge was fine with an extraordinairy view.
In the kitchen we only missed out on cooking pots that are suited for this stove, especially a frying pan.
And the sitting area (couches) seemed a bit outdated and dusty.
Apart from that we enjoyed our stay very much!
Thank you for tour hospitallity!

Our stay was as expected, quiet and relaxing.The Lodge was more than adequate for our needs .The woodland area around us was a bonus watching the wild life.
Think the website could do with a bit of an overhaul, not easy to find information required. Would return.

Our second visit to this chalet No. 7 was blighted by some awful weather.
We had problems with Wi-Fi initially but Katie went all out and had this rectified as soon as she could. Similarly with the dvd player which we needed due to weather, once she was informed a new unit was immediately provided.
Full marks for attentiveness.
A great little site and there were no midgies, I don’t think they can fly in the rain, a bonus.

We had a wonderful peaceful stay with our son for a couple of nights before his graduation, The accommodation was easy to find and with our Email instructions sent on the day made finding our lodge very simple

The lodge was very comfortable, well equipped and the walk to the local Loch was a good walk up hill but worth the end result.

If there was any criticism is that the bedrooms only had one double electric socket behind the bed so my wife had to pull the bed out to plug in her hairdryer.

Thanks for a great relaxing break ☺️

A wonderful week at Cologin Farm lodges.
The lodge was comfortable, clean (previous occupants though could have done a better job of washing their dishes) and well furnished. The location is beautiful, relaxing and minutes away from Oban and shops. It was a slick process to book and gain entrance to the lodge but would have liked a personal touch of a greeting/meeting at some point with the owners. I would definitely recommend a stay at Cologin.

The Barn was GREAT! The staff were wonderful; very friendly and welcoming. The food was delicious. The haggis bonbons were a flavour sensation and the venison casserole so, so good.A visit here is a must.

We had a fantastic stay at Cologin. Peaceful surroundings. Beautiful scenery. Lodge was spacious and clean. We received a lovely friendly welcome from Katie. Honestly couldn’t fault any part of our stay and will be booking another there, I’m sure.

The lodge was a great size, bigger than expected and although sited in with another dozen lodges or so felt very private with a lovely outlook. Parking right outside the lodge . Great walks from the site for the dogs . The barn pub was not open when we were there so cannot comment on that but it is a short drive back in to Oban for food. All in a all a very nice place and we would stay there again.

This was our second visit to Cologin. Last year we - 2 adults - stayed in a one bedroom lodge, which was fine, but if up for a week or longer, I would recommend taking a 2 bedroom version, as we did this year.

We were delighted with our lodge, Jura. It was well equipped, clean & warm, with a lovely view from the decking.and the easy walk through the fields to the old Kilbride church is worth doing.

In summary, we will visit Cologin again.

The Barn Bar is a gem. The food is 4* hotel standard …..highly commended.

I found Cologin Farms via my Cheescake Woman @thebigcheesecake_bylt. She posted a lovely tranquil picture of her little dog Bertie, peacefulness, gorgeous scenery and blue skies and I thought I need to go there with the boys. It was coming up to Easter and knew it would be a long shot for availability BUT luckily enough there was because we were going in the middle of the week thankfully.

I tried to book it online but it wouldn’t let me due to numbers. I was booking for myself, my 2 boys who are 4 and my mum and dad. I was look for a 2 bedroom lodge. It wouldn’t let my do it online because max was 4 however I emailed Katie and explained boys were autistic, we co-sleep so only need 1 bed/room and the king bed would be plenty and the other room would be for mum and dad. She emailed me fairly quickly back to say that was not a problem and even provided 2 options for the lodges for one to include just a shower with the king bed or a bath with a smaller bed and an additional bed brought in. Because the booking was ‘bespoke’ Katie did the booking for me and just sent me the link to pay etc. This was really easy. As we were going so soon we had to pay in full. If you are going months later you pay a deposit then pay the rest so many weeks before arrival.

After I paid I received a welcome pack via email which was SUPER COMPREHENSIVE with absolutely everything you could possibly need. Everything from how to get there, what’s on the farm, what you need to know about the lodge including ‘how to work the cooker’, where to eat round and about Oban, what services they can provide in the lodge I.e what they can ‘bring in to for you’, some amazing and interesting facts about the farm and the grounds and useful numbers,

On the day Katie text me to let me know what time I could check in and how that would work etc. When we arrived the lodge was lovely and warm which was great cause it was freezing that day. The lodge was gorgeous! So bright, spotless and had everything we could possibly need. The boys were so excited and called it the ‘holiday house’. The boys are autistic and can be unpredictable in new surroundings and on holiday so having a lodge meant I did not have the stress of them ‘interrupting’ other people’s quiet time as we had our own space. They had 100 times more space than a hotel room too. We were not restricted to breakfast times or dinner too which was a blessing also.

In the bedrooms there was extra bedding, plenty of charging points and this goes throughout the whole house too. There is a hoover and iron board and iron. There is hardwood floor in hall and livingroom and kitchen, tiles in bathroom floor and bedrooms are carpets. There is a heated towel rail in the bathroom and the shower is huge! There is plenty of cupboard space in the kitchen, you just need to take a pizza cutter lol. The tele - this happens apparently- it can just cut out - if this happens the main switch where the plug is is behind the tele on the wall just swivel the tele slightly and you should be able to reach it, switch it on and off and it should work but if that doesn’t work, text Katie. The door is stiff to lock it just pull it really tight (like lean back) and turn the key.

Katie checked in via text as we never got to see her the first day and mum and dad met her round the farm and she came in to fix the tele so was lovely to put a face to the name but I always knew she was just a text away.

The day before Katie will text/email you with a check out time and bits and bobs to be done. These are just simple things that you would or should naturally do, empty bins, brush the floor, open the windows, switch the heaters off, wet towels on the bathroom floor so they know they are dirty. I just hoovered, stripped the beds (there is only 2) and just dropped Katie a text to say when I left and what perishables I left behind and also that I didn’t lock the door but left the key in the door.

Finally, there is a Barn on the grounds which is a restaurant and bar which also has a pool table. The food is apparently AMAZING but because my boys wouldn’t go near it we weren’t able to experience it. The weather wasn’t the best so we only got to the play area once which was good. Hoping next time the sun has its hat on and we get to play in the play area and head to the barn for food and some drinks now the boys are familiar with their new ‘holiday house’ surroundings.

Only 2 hours from us and feels like a proper holiday and just the peace, tranquility and space we needed to relax. Thank you for creating this space for us and giving the boys their ‘holiday house’ and safe space to come.

We can’t wait to come back.

Fabulous time, chalet great, if you need it it’s there if not give them a shout, so helpful. Such a peaceful time, my dog Skye was probably the noisies, but is getting better, we spend a lot of time on site and at Ganavan Sands, If you like walking there’s plenty walks around, so many places you can go to. Can’t wait for our next break away.

What can I say! We used to visit here about 20 years ago and I booked this for my mums 60th birthday so she could reminisce. The chalets 20 years ago were quite basic but my goodness what a difference now. They are so modern, clean, cosy and filled with everything you need. Not to mention the scenery around you is just as gorgeous as it always was. Everything was perfect, customer service was faultless and we had the best stay. Cannot wait to come back. Warning, you are in the countryside so the phone signal is sketchy and the tv signal is hit and miss but if that’s what you’re going away for then you’ve probably picked the wrong place!

Katie and the staff at the Barn restaurant were fantastic, friendly and very welcoming. We had a great stay in No 17 lodge, clean, comfortable and ideal for our short break away, max our dog had a fabulous time with Toby and Benji, Katie’s dogs, weather was fabulous and lodge was well situated with great views and was a wee sun trap. We will definitely be back. Food was lovely at the Barn Restaurant too.

Lodge is situated a short drive from Oban and have stunning views of the countryside. Four adults shared the lodge and there was plenty of space for us all. The lodge was very comfortable, cosy and had plentiful modern facilities. We dealt with Katie for booking and check in and she was most accommodating, the lodge was ready earlier than expected and we were welcome to arrive earlier than stated.

We ate on the first night of our stay at the Barn and we all enjoyed our meals, in fact, if it had been open the other two night too we would have eaten there! Special shout out to the lady that runs the Barn she was very friendly, customer focussed and was willing to change some meals to suit our needs

We enjoyed our stay here again - it suits us very well with having a dog and being able to walk up to the dog-friendly pub for excellent food and good company. We had a little problem with the electric heating in our bedroom but think it was more me than the actual heater!!
Would have liked to have stayed for another night but not possible this time.

Very comfortable lodge, well furnished, with all amenities provided. Peaceful location only 10 minutes from Oban. We were on a relaxed schedule but there are plenty activities available locally. If tv access really matters to you, take your own Sky card. EV destination charger on site and rapids at Tesco. Best to book for The Barn, it's justifiably popular. Currently closed Tues/Wed.

In an excellent location for hill walking and visiting local attractions. Very peaceful and welcoming. Lodges are a bit basic but the beds are comfy and the cleanliness is 5*.
Some of the lodges had gates on their decking so you could open up the patio doors and not worry about dogs escaping. Unfortunately ours didn’t so that was a bit of a problem but ok for the few days we were there.
The site manager was really friendly and helpful, nothing was too much trouble. Thank you for the bbq and extra doggie throws.
The Barn was wonderful, food great and staff friendly.
All in all a really good place to stay for a few days with the dogs.

A lovely place but a power cut over two days meant no electricity: therefore no shower, no cooking, unable to use phone (no mobile signal either) and cooker stopped working as it needed a reset. This really impacted on our stay as we had been up a Munro the day before and really needed a lazy day on site.
Obviously not their fault BUT communication over this was very poor and apparently it happens quite frequently (the weather was mild during our stay). I think there should be some compensation to guests and much better information on what is happening. Perhaps they need to have a generator if this is a common occurrence, and supply a meal for those who have been out all day and can’t cook when they get back.

These lodges could be excellent but the owners have cut corners to save money in the following ways: there were 2 couples in our lodge for 3 nights and we were provided with only 1 hand towel between us. We had only 2 rolls of the flimsiest toilet roll between us, inadequate kitchen roll in the kitchen and no hairdryer. We didn't know where reception was to complain. The only member of staff we saw during 3 days was a young man making a very poor job of strimming the grass. We ate in one night and found the kitchen to be poorly provided with dishes, cutlery, place mats and glasses which were mismatched. It was very dangerous taking things out the oven without an oven glove. Water in taps was scaldingly hot. The access road which is a mile long is very narrow with some pot holes. The roads within the complex are narrow and poorly sign posted. We were in a dead end with no turning circle making ingress and egress difficult. Wi- fi was extremely patchy.

Linda Battison replied more than 1 year ago
I am sorry you found your lodges did not provide what you were expecting. Your booking only detailed 3 guests with another couple in the lodge next door. However, as the lodge has two good sized double bedrooms that should not have been a problem. Our website clearly details what we provide and although we don’t provide hairdryers we are happy to lend one to guests who have forgotten to bring their own. We keep spares and extra kitchen equipment to replace breakages as they occur and as detailed on our website and in guest communication we reduced the ‘batterie de cuisine’ to cope with the extra demands of Covid compliance. As we gain confidence that the pandemic is over we will return our lodge inventory to normal. We provide a starter pack of loo rolls for our self catering properties - there are ‘emergency’ spares if needed and the digital welcome folder provides information on where to find them. Thank you for your feedback regarding the quality of the kitchen roll and the need for oven gloves in your kitchen. We will look at these issues. I am afraid we can do nothing about our rural location and single track roads. I do hope you managed to explore the beautiful countryside, our lovely walks and easy access to Oban and it’s shops and attractions.

Have stayed at Cologin Farm Lodges many times before and always had a great time at a well run business. The surrounding area is perfect for walking with or without a dog. This was our first visit for five years and improvements and updates have been made to make the stay even more enjoyable.

Great place and friendly staff. Very good food

Returning to Cologin, we were impressed to find newly renovated comfortable lodges picture windows looking out on stunning views making this a memorable break and an ideal place from which to explore and relax. The Barn Bar had been a highlight of our previous trip. It was closed on this occasion so we asked 8 of our friends to join us and had a very happy time. Can’t wait to book again!

Our chalet was spotlessly clean and in a beautiful location. Unfortunately we had a few issues. Our bedding was threadbare and in some places had gone into holes. Being with an older age group we found the lounge seating so low it was very difficult to get out of. I know this would not apply to everyone but I think it would be worth noting for future guests. Bathroom was lovely if it wasn’t for unfinished paint work on doors etc. Zipped together single beds were very uncomfortable.
We understand that COVID is playing a large part of service but when people were arriving on days the bar etc was closed they had no idea where to go to their booked chalets which didn’t give a very good impression. Other guests had to help them out

We eventually got a booking for a meal. Popping in for a drink, we were given the impression that they only wanted diners

We really enjoyed our stay at Cologin and fully intend to book again for early next year. Having 3 dogs it is very difficult to find accommodations that will let us stay. We take a great deal of pride in leaving the places that we stay as clean as we find them despite having three dogs. The cottage was very clean and comfortable with all the required amenities.
I noted that some other cottages had gates on the decked areas which would prevent dogs from wandering and would have preferred that to have been standard.
Little or no information about local walks or attractions.

We recently returned form a week at No.7 at Cologin, we were delighted from the moment we walked through the front door. The Lodge was spotlessly clean and looked amazing. We had been a little apprehensive as reading previous reviews some were non too flattering, highlighting worn furniture and carpets, we found everything to be fine, granted there were a few marks and splashes on some of the paintwork but with a high turnover of occupants this cannot be helped unless the walls are painted after every few visits. Sofas ding table and chairs were all in good condition, One of the beds did have a rogue spring which was a bit noisy rather than uncomfortable.
A Sky tv system was provided but only for freeview channels, remember to take your viewing card if you want a bigger selection.
As with previous reviews and also highlighted by the owners the wifi system might have been installed by Bonnie Prince Charlie as it was fairly ineffective, careful planning for time of use is essential, but we were on holiday and any thoughts of work related emails should be put on the back burner for a week
Everything we required was readily available, decent hob oven and microwave the fridge was a little small but there again we were not feeding the 5000 and with judicious arrangement of contents proved satisfactory.
Initially we were two towels short and for obscure culinary purposes we needed a whisk, a quick call to the owners and towels and their personal whisk appeared at our door within 10 minutes. service with a smile.
I stupidly left some items behind when we left and Katie posted these on immediately and I received them the following day. So a big thanks for such personal service.
We would happily return to Cologin and would highly recommend it, it is very pet friendly and our dog thoroughly her stay too.

This was our second visit to Cologin Farm Lodges. The chalet was comfortable and very clean and the area is lovely and quiet.
We had 2 double beds which were zip link so had a hard section down the middle - this made them a bit uncomfortable after a couple of days. Bed linen and towels provided were good quality.
The location and proximity to Oban is ideal - close enough to access shops etc and also close to the surrounding fantastic scenery of the West Highlands so a great location for exploring.
TV reception is limited to several standard channels and wi-fi and internet struggled at busy times and whilst understandable being in the Highlands was annoying at times.
Good value for money, a relaxing stay and we will certainly consider returning.

The staff at the Barn Bar are very pleasant, friendly and helpful. Speed of service was good. However having visited last year we felt that the quality of food was not as good as last year.

We had a great week thank you. We are returning guests and love to come to get away from it all.
The location is stunning and so peaceful, there's things to do closeby or wander around the hills whatever you want.
I loved the addition of the terrace and table.

Thank you

3rd time staying here, love the place so peaceful and relaxing spent week with my husband and dog, dogs are so welcome. Woke up to be met with deer right outside the cabin. We stayed in a newly refurbished cabin and it was lovely. It is so near to Oban just 10 minute drive to shops but to eat the barn bar and restaurant has great home cooked food.

We stayed for two nights with our 2 year old. I loved the contact through whatsapp if we needed anything and Katie was very quick in replying!

We loved the location and all the visits from sheep and deer, my little boy was very happy!!

The lodge was very clean and had everything we needed, my only point was that the lounge seating wasn’t very comfy. I do understand that everyone’s comfort is different and most people would be out enjoying the scenery to notice and it certainly didn’t affect our visit!

We paid for our stay through itison but would happily full price, if we visit again will hopefully be able to enjoy the food and drinks onsite!

Thanks again.

We have stayed in Lodge No 17 twice now. It is spacious, comfortable and warm with lovely views from all of the windows to front and side and a sunny seating area in front. The management has plans to update the lodge and that can only improve what is already great value for money. We cook quite a lot in the lodges when on holiday and the kitchen was fine and will be even better when updated. The Barn (pub and restaurant) on the same site is just a 3 minute stroll away and serves good standard food. Of course whilst Covid restricts seating and access, booking is essential but the Barn will do take away meals. The walking in the nearby forest and lanes is great and Oban is just a 10 minute drive away. As a base for exploring the West Highlands or Argyll coast, Cologin is ideal. We especially like Seil (The Oyster Pub in Easdale is well worth a lunch time meal) and Luing islands (the history of the Scottish slate industry is all there), the Crinan Canal, Lochgilphead (Smiddy restaurant is a must), Arduaine Garden (NT for Scotland) and the fact that using Corran Ferry and driving through Morvern leads to Arisaig, Mallaig and ferries to other islands (adventure). Fort William and Glen Coe are also well within and worthy of a day's outing. If going to Fort William a trip up the cable car in Nevis Range for the views on a clear day (or mountain biking and skiing if adventurous enough) is also highly recommended.

We had a takeaway meal on the evening of arrival. The Mussels and steaks were delicious. We booked two other evening meals and these were equally good.

A week on the west coast of Scotland is always an adventure, Cologin provided a perfect haven on return each day from wet walks or island explorations - hint when you hear barking from the shore, don't cycle on past the playing otters on Lismore. The lodge was clean and comfortable with a few issues sorted out easily through the excellent customer service. The return to normality was hard at the end of the week, the lodge had offered a fantastic respite during this strange year.

Our lodge was well prepared for our arrival and we were reassured by the high standard of cleaning. The two bedroom lodge we stayed in was bright, clean and comfortably furnished and the heating was efficient. The kitchen provided all that we needed to cook simple meals and the cooker, microwave, etc worked well. The fridge was adequate for two but might be rather small if catering for four. The WiFi and phone signal, as in many rural areas, was poor at best and during our stay was mainly unobtainable but its absence only added to the sense of peace and calm which was just what we needed from our break.

The setting is very rural and quiet but the facilities of Oban are close by. The scenery is beautiful and there are pleasant walks around the site. We really appreciated being able to dine on site and the the Barn provided a warm and friendly hub. Oban is a lovely, highland town with lots of eating places and there is no shortage of Interesting places to visit in the surrounding area.

Tasty, well-cooked food at reasonable prices. Service was friendly and efficient and social distancing measures were adhered to.

During these difficult times it was great to get away for a week's holiday at Cologin. We have stayed there several times over the years and it was great to have a holiday in Scotland and to support local business.

Yes, we had a drink and food in the barn on a number of occasions and found the beer to be excellent and the food to be very good. Glen and the team were very welcoming.

The location of the accommodation was fantastic - the lodges inside just seemed a little tired and dated - dated carpets, curtains, bedding and so on. Even the mugs were a little dated and tired looking. We were not able to access Wifi in our lodge - we were only able to access it from the road in front of our lodge. The location is excellent - the site is very safe and welcoming too.

We had a lovely two day break at Cologin with an itison deal. The owners were very welcoming and helpful. The lodge was lovely and warm when we entered. It was spotlessly clean. All the bedding and towels were immaculate. The only small negative I could say was that the bathroom was a bit tired. We also had a lovely meal at the barn on our second night. Would really recommend it.

We really enjoyed our stay in Cologin we were really looking for a place that was near enough to town but far enough to be in the peace and quiet of the country. Cologin really fits the bill and we did not miss having a care as it is only 3 miles from Cologin and Argyll Taxi were so reliable when booked and came and time to bring us to the ferry for any trips etc. The cottage were lovely (they do need a coat of paint on the exterior) we had a two bed cottage very cosy and heating if you needed it we had to put it on just one night for a bit. Lots hot water and cleaning products supplied. The laundry was very handy on site as we were travelling further a field from Cologin. The Barn pub is lovely and the staff really friendly the only gripe we had was how early it closed once meals were served and people leaving we were told last orders at 9.15 and 9.30 and two evenings. So if we had a long day out in Cologin you knew you could not go back and have a late drink in the pub meant we stayed in Oban a bit longer for food and drinks if we wanted them. This was from mid-August so really did not expect for the pub to close so early. Also the way it is laid out it felt more like a diner than a pub if they had a nice cosy room with a fire where you could relax would be nice and really add to the ambience. A small shop with just essentials would be very useful out here too.

The stay at cologin was 8/10. The lodge had everything you’d need to allow for a week of travelling and walking up the west coast of Scotland. Everything was in good condition and looked after. Would definitely recommend, highlight to the accommodation we got to sit and watch red deer in the field outside on 3 separate occasions.

Lovely lodge ,short drive from Oban. Clean and well equipped. Very comfortable beds. Wi-fi only available on the decking which is fine when the weather is good and the patio doors are open but not so good when it's raining and you have to stand outside to get your emails. Barn bar where you can get meals or takeaways and dogs are welcome everywhere.

First time at Cologin and we would return, lodge was comfortable and clean. On arrival we called at Barn Bar and were met with a helpful welcome from staff who directed us to our lodge. There was a detailed description of all appliances and their operation. Site was clean and tidy, a pair of deers visited most days.

Visited Barn Bar for Sunday Carvery, I had roast beef and turkey with vegetables which was very good as was the pate starter, my wife had pate, macaroni cheese and dessert which she really enjoyed. Because of a mix up our ordered drinks took a while to arrive, cost was taken of bill and apology received from helpful waitress

Family stayed over 3 nights covering New Year in lodges 17 & 18. Lodges were well appointed, heating had been on for arrival and were toasty warm. Everything one needed was in each lodge. Nice sitting areas , kitchen and dining tables. Lodge 17 had comfortable double beds in each bedroom whereas 18 one double and twin beds. Along with family dogs we all had a great time.

Cologin lodges is approximately 5 minutes drive from Oban and is accessed by a single track road with passing places.When you arrive you certainly get the feeling of "getting away from it all", as all around you are rolling hills .pathways and farms; no road traffic, just peace and quiet. There are only a few lodges/chalets at Cologin so even when full ,I believe you would not feel crowded.The Cabin was clean, comfortable and had all the equipment needed for a self catering lodge.I would recommend Cologin country chalets and lodges for a relaxing holiday.

My wife and I enjoyed a meal and some drinks each night of our short break.The Barn Bar has a welcoming atmosphere with a great selection of wines,spirits and the real ales. The menu is utilises fresh local produce and the meals were well presented and very tasty. The servings were huge and priced very reasonably.We have a Labrador retriever (16 months) and dogs are made very welcome, and he was given water and dog biscuits and friendly welcome on arrival. Great staff, friendly,attentive and the locals are very friendly too.I would thoroughly recommend the Barn Bar for both a meal and a drink.

This was my fourth visit to Cologin. I love the location, the venue and the staff. Everyone is so friendly and helpful and my two dogs have made a lifelong pal in Bennie. The Barn food is great and they know how to keep a good pint. Although about 3 miles from Oban, I find it a good base from which to explore. I am looking forward to my next visit already!

Excellent location. and great view. The lodge was very well equipped and in great condition. It was relaxing and very quiet as we could not get a phone signal and therefore no WiFi. The owners were extremely helpful as the TV signal was only intermittent. Hopefully that will be resolved soon. The food at the Barn Bat was excellent and the staff very friendly. We would certainly recommend it and hope to treturn in the future

The cleanliness was atrocious and the decor of the lodges is very dated and need a refurb. If it weren’t for the company I was with, I would not have stayed at Cologin. I will certainly not be retuning or recommending to to a friend. The lodges are not central located and you require a car/taxi to Oban. Overall, I was very disappointed & I could have stayed in nicer, cleaner accommodation for the money we paid. Also the WIFI connection was not great!

My daughter and I really enjoy going to cologin lodges and the barn. My dog enjoys going into Oban and out to Gavana Beach and going to the barn with us at night where she is spoiled rotten. All you need for a relaxing time either eating in or out. The only wee niggle we had this time was wifi was poorer in this chalet than usual but didn't spoil our time there. The staff are always so friendly.

We stayed here in March for the weekend in a 2 bedroom lodge. We have been before so knew what to expect. The location of these lodges is amazing, we were sitting on Saturday morning watching a couple of deer less than 10 feet from our front door. The lodge itself was nice but there wasn't a lot of equipment/utensils in the kitchen and as it is self catering I feel there should have been more. However, we didn't ask for anything else and I'm sure if we did it would have been provided. The Barn bar and restaurant is lovely, with a relaxed atmosphere and great food. Staff were very nice and helpful. We will definitely stay here again as we love Oban and wouldn't even think about staying elsewhere.

Myself and 2 friends booked Cologin for 2 nights with a discount voucher from itison. We had a brilliant stay! No fuss when we arrived, we were directed to our lodge which had been heated prior to our arrival. It was super cosy, and had all the amenities we required for a couple of nights. Oban is only a few minutes drive away and we were spoilt with the weather and scenery. Would happily book again!

When I first checked out the Cologin website I was rather perplexed that it states on the front page, that these are not 'luxurious' cabins. What it does say they offer is comfort, space and a great location. Well we could confirm great location straight away as after a long drive and busy first day house hunting, we were all absolutely relieved to find we found Cologin with no hassle and as I mention, it is located so very close to the town it really couldn't be any better. Space was the primary reason we looked into a lodge instead of a hotel and the Cologin cabins have plenty of it. The kitchen / diner is open plan with the living room but both spaces are a good size so everyone can fit in comfortably while dinner is being prepared in the kitchen which features all mod cons.

Comfort for us was interrupted by both kids not wanting to sleep great because of a new environment but when we did sleep the beds were comfy and what I always find most important when staying somewhere else, the cabin was spotless! Towels and linen are provided with spare which is always handy. Whilst the decor of the Lodges might not been described as luxurious (I think someone years ago made a killing selling every hotel and self catering in the UK those ghastly muted brown floral bed throws that are everywhere!) it was not half bad at all. The kitchen is modern and the furniture all functions perfectly. What makes the Lodges stand out is their location, the stunning valley they lie in and the fact you can open your patio windows and eat breakfast on your very own picnic bench on your own private decking area.

An added bonus to staying at Cologin was that it is also where you will find the award winning restaurant The Barn. We did go for dinner there one evening and whilst it was a personal family with kids nightmare just due to lack of sleep with the kids, the food was good (absolutely huge portions! Must remember to just get one kids one next time) the staff were helpful, and there was a relaxed child friendly atmosphere at 6pm. You can also visit The Barn if you aren't staying in the accommodation and I know it is popular with locals across the hills and host music nights which I imagine would be great in that setting.

We did go for an evening meal and although initially there was a mix up with the meals the staff worked very quickly to rectify it and were very friendly. The food was tasty and the portion sizes huge. The atmosphere in The Barn was also lovely.

Had a great stay, the lodges were very comfortable and had everything you need in them. Our children enjoyed playing in the park. The location was great just a couple of minutes drive from Oban. We would definitely recommend it and look forward to our next visit.

The location is very peaceful and there are beautiful walks on the doorstep.

The chalets are ideal for a family break and the site has a fenced playpark for children.

You are only a few minutes drive from Oban yet the site is in the countryside, and feels like it.

A great place to eat and have a drink. Close, but not so close, to the chalets to be intrusive. The extensive menu caters for all tastes, including children. Good choice of draught beers.

We have stayed in Lodge 17 twice before. We enjoyed our stay and I have no hesitation in recommending Cologin as a holiday destination. The setting is beautiful, handy for Oban centre, and the site is clean and tidy. We always find the management and staff to be friendly and helpful. Mary Macleod's food at the Barn is lovely and the Barn keeps a good pint. What more could one ask for?

Great value for money break for three friends and I. Chalet clean and cosy. Comfy bed. Good powerful shower. And the tv/dvd was easy to work so I was very pleased with the place especially it is in such a lovely location. Unique selling point is of course "The Barn" pub. We ate there 3 times. Food was fabulous and very reasonably priced. Live music on two nights was such a bonus. Loved the atmosphere and the banter. Hope to be back one day.

Brilliant location - but having lived in the area for 18 years before moving away 12 years ago - we knew it would be.
chalets were clean but the one we stayed in was very tired. Money had been spent on the rear windows but the side one was very old a nd did not close. Not an issue for us knowing the area and how safe it is but a city dweller may have been concerned.
Price excellent an food in the Barn very good.
don't expect excellent wi fi but OK to check things out. Poor phone signal if this is anot important item on your agenda but it has not been good for may years and obviously has not improved. You can get a signal from some points but need to look for.

The location is lovely, a nice little pub on site with good food, about 10 mins drive from centre of Oban. Not very clean on arrival, lots of dead flies lying around ( which wasn't great especially when we had a little one with us). We had to buy our own cleaning products etc. Toilet set broken, lots of storage cupboard that could be put to better use somehow?

This is the second time we have stayed here. The lodges are comfy and clean with decking so you can sit out on a good day. The staff are great, so helpful. There is also the benefit of having the Pub/ restaurant in the grounds which serves good food and means that you do not need to have worry about having to drive just stroll a few yards back to your lodge.

We are going back again in September with other friends and would not hesitate to recommend them and they are dog friendly so you do not need to worry about having to find boarding kennels. Nothing bad to say at all.

Beautiful location - chalet in need of upgrade - a bit dated and in need of a make-over. Henry hoover was very smelly and only used it once because of that. Back room heater didn't work at all and had to use the oil filled radiator as a backup (cost more in electricity) The outside bins were full when we arrived. Couldn't find the torch which should have been available.

On a positive note we had a Tesco Delivery arrive before we did and the contents were put in the fridge and cupboards for us. Very nice touch.

No Wi-Fi connection available.

When we booked, we recieved clear instructions as to find Cologin, which was handy - as the hotel and chalets are nicely secluded (allow the Barn bar is well known locally!).
On arrival we were shown the way to our chalet, which was nicely warmed. A slight issue with parking - our neighbours had parked the wrong side, causing us to have to park some distance away. Not a problem for us, but easily avoided by better signage. The chalet had an end of season "lived in" feel about it, but with two teenagers and a large dog - this was better than freshly decorated and pristine!
The Barn bar, the location and the locals make this place, it's wonderfully unfussy. Our best new year for years.

On the plus side the lodges/chalets are set in a beautiful location and the barn bar is a major asset. On the down side the chalet we stayed in no 7 needs upgrading. crockery ,pots, placemats ,mugs all need replaced ,they are all mismatched and some plates and mugs had chips and cracks, also there was 1 pot lid that didn't fit any of the 3 pots provided. We also had problems with the shower .

Linda Battison replied more than 1 year ago
Thank you for your comments and I am glad you enjoyed our beautiful location. My apologies for the mismatched crockery - we have a corporate booking for this property (along with several other adjacent lodges) throughout the winter from Monday to Friday and I am aware that the men often eat together in one of the lodges - no doubt one of their group of lodges has crockery from several lodges crammed into its kitchen! We will replace the crockery and pans etc as usual at the start of next season - but thank you for your feedback which will I pass on to our housekeeper so our Christmas and New Year guests are not struggling to find matched crockery for their festive meals.

brilliant!

Had to pay for the electricity so I was abit worried at first, but for the 4 days it was only £12.30 and I had the electric heating and all the lights on pretty much continuously. Staff were amazing, soo dog friendly . Fantastic bar and food! ! We didn't want to leave, and we will be back.

This was our 6th visit to Cologin Cottages and we still enjoyed every minute. The lodge had been upgraded with a new patio and because it faces west received lots of afternoon sun. If you are looking for somewhere to get away from the outside world, without getting too far away, I can recommend Cologin more.

My family spent a wonderful weekend at Cologin Lodges recently, despite poor Scottish weather!

Dinner at The Barn on the first night allowed us to rest and relax after our long drive in a cosy, friendly atmosphere. Food was tasty with plenty of dishes to choose from, a great kids menu and some drawing materials kept the wee ones happy. The location of the lodges was also great, just 10 mins drive from Oban.

Unfortunately the kids couldn't make the most of the play park or the duck pond on site due to the rain, but we have every intention of returning in the summer for a much longer stay. I couldn't recommend Cologin highly enough, perfect for a family break.

My family and I had a super wee break at Cologin Lodges. The lodge was more than adequate for us although my partner and I found the double bed to be rather hard to sleep on. That is just preference tho'. The kids had a great time especially my son. He was roaming around the site and exploring. Freedom. We hope we can return some time in the future.

Once again the cabin was very clean and well equipped.
The patio doors and decking are a very welcome improvement, perhaps a wee gate could be put on the decking to stop dogschildren escaping when its warm enough to sit outside.
Wifi being limited to 2 hours makes for a refreshing tech free stay.
Had 2 amazing meals at the Barn bar, and the music on the Sunday night created a lovely relaxed atmosphere. I just wish I lived closer to stay more often.
Thank you!

What a stunning setting! The view from our front window alone was amazing. Comfortable lodge with everything we needed and the staff were just brilliant. The chef made a special meal for my daughter as she is vegan which was absolutely delicious.
Wouldn't hesitate to return although only with groupon as think it's bit pricey otherwise.
One teeny fault I forgot to report was toilet door jammed in every use so kids had to leave door open after one scary rescue! Also....paid for wifi for my daughter only to find we couldn't get service so waste of money.
But overall....we loved Cologin :-)

I am sorry you struggled with the wi-fi - I have checked the network servers and I can see that you logged in successfully several times on the Cologin network - but you also paid for an account on the Barn Bar network. The two are both exclusive which is why you were not able to log in from the chalet using the Barn's network. This information is in the welcome folder, however, as we now offer FREE wi-fi access in chuncks of 2 hours on both networks it really is not necessary to pay for an account unless you are staying for a week or two. Thank you for your note the the bathroom door - I have just tried it and you are quite right it is sticking and we will get the striking plate re postioned before someone does get locked in! Don't forget as a return customer you will get a 10% discount - obviously not as generous as your Groupon deal but our prices are geared to encouraging one week stays. Even at peak season the weekly rate works out at just over £20 pppn which we feel is excellent value for money so we do hope you will return. I am delighted that you 'loved Cologin' and thank you for your feedback. I have also passed your comments on to the kitchen and I glad you enjoyed your vegan meal.

food and drink was a little overpriced but considering the location this is to be expected, the food was excellent though.

Ideal location for a relaxing holiday. Had the weather been better, we would have been able to explore much more. Surroundings are beautiful, the lodge was lovely and provided exactly what we needed for our holiday.

Beautiful location and a lovely chalet! Had a fantastic short break at cologin with our 2 young boys, plenty to do and ideally located for getting about Oban and local area. Chalet was ideal, and had everything you would need for some time away. We will be back to visit again

A very welcome and relaxed setting, we all enjoyed our long weekend at Cologin. The location is ideal for those who really lkke to get away from it all but would still like the convenience of the big town just ten minutes from your front door. Highly recommended.

We had a wonderful stay in Cologin chalets. As ever, the chalets were warm and clean when we arrived. The food and drink and general atmosphere in the Barn was fantastic. The local walks in the area around the chalets were lovely, and we saw lots of birdlife. I have been coming to stay at Cologin chalets for 20 years and have never been disappointed. I love the atmosphere. The chalets have been thoughtfully upgraded over the years and are really very comfortable. My only suggestion, and it is minor, would be to provide more robust seating in the lounge area - as the chairs and sofa do not provide great support for someone with a dodgy back!

Always a great experience - good food, warm stove, local craft beer, lovely atmosphere. Super for families.

Great location, welcoming staff and very well looked after. We had a very enjoyable stay and would recommend it highly. Beautiful setting and very relaxing atmosphere. We had family staying in the farm house which was amazing with so much room and amenities. Our chalet was ideal for couples or families and had everything you could need or want and the icing on the cake were the views all around!

Didn't eat or drink there but had a look and it looked very welcoming especially the toasty log fire!

Full of character, tucked away but close to the action, in almost all respects a great base to explore Oban and surrounds. We only stayed a few nights but would have been delighted to have stayed for a week to get the chance to roam the coast more widely, visit nearby islands, castles, lochs, etc., and enjoy the town and area to the max.

I enjoyed my second visit to Coloring. The service and food at the Barn Bar/Restaurant wad excellent and the standard of accommodation very good. The rural location is superb, yet within easy reach of Oban town. I absolutely recommend Coloring to anyone.

Great location, Friendly staff. Stayed at Cologin with my wife and teenage son and daughter in August 2014. The location is excellent with all chalets having great views of the hlls and accompanying wildlife. We ate and drank in the on site barn bar on several occasions and found the food and service to be good. We would recomend walking to the loch and taking out the rowing boat but make sure you take your wellies.

Overall a great location within 30 mins drive of many superb locations we would recomend Seafari (wildlife trip) and Stromash outdoor centre. We would definately stay here again.

Chalet was excellent. Very we'll appointed kitchen everything you could possibly need. Mattress great had a great nights sleep. Staff very friendly great having bar and restaurant in situ. Although did not eat there every spoke very highly of it. Only down side was I could not get the hang of the micro wave (but think that was me) and our shower did not work (although it was new) but no problem getting someone down to look at it. I would definitely return as it is a lovely location and very dog friendly.

I have booked 7 Chalets for my group(total 40 including kids). all families with kids. We were thrilled after seeing the location and all were absolutely happy with the place. I can say it was over our expectation, the kitchen and living room were good for a chalet. The staff(not met many) whoever we spoke were really helpful and was solved whatever we need. They made sure that the BBQ equipment they provided were clean and tidy, I forgot to ask that Gentleman's name. We really enjoy the place and nobody wants to go out. Kids really enjoyed the small park and the grass surface and they played the whole day on saturday..

In short, I can say that our group thoroughly enjoyed and I have got big appreciation from all of them. I will surely recommend this to everyone.

We enjoyed a great weekend break. Started off with drinks in front of the wood-burning fire with friends.
Next day a walk into Oban, lots of seafood and sightseeing, before returning for a nightcap, again sitting out round the fire.
Wish we could have stayed for the jam session on Sunday - a recommendation from over the Atlantic by the curator of the Seil Island museum!

Number 17 has a few flaws, but nothing that deters from the enjoyment of a great weekend with friends. Have been going to Cologin for over 20 years and it has kept the charm of a peaceful retreat with the most beautiful scenery and friendly management and staff. Will be back again very soon.
