About this property

An Cala - sleeps 6 guests in 3 bedrooms

An incredibly special property, An Cala is located in Connel, a remarkable ribbon of the West Coast of Scotland.

Situated only yards from the Sea taking in the picturesque views and sunsets of Loch Etive this cottage oozes a home from home feel.
The majestic Connel Bridge with its magnificent “Falls of Lora” rapids – where the tidal sea meets with fresh Loch water creating a kayaker's playground, can all be viewed from your very own lounge window, just sit back and watch the world go by.
Argyll is renowned for it's abundance of wildlife on land and Sea with porpoises, golden eagles, otters and even bottlenose dolphins recently spotted under the Connel Bridge.
This contemporary cosy cottage completely refurnished in Autumn 2019 to comfortably sleep six guests across two double bedrooms and one twin; a double and bathroom on the ground floor with another double, family bathroom and twin on the first floor.
The living area features a large wood-burning stove with comfortable seating to compliment this sociable spot with its large open windows to look out at the vast views – making it ideal for guests to gather and share their stories of the day's activities. The open plan dining area is perfect for enjoying a meal while still taking in the sunset views.
The fully equipped kitchen to the back of the cottage boasts an additional conservatory dining area – perfect to sit and chat surrounded by beautiful views as your food cooks. The private garden, which you can access from the kitchen is ideal for BBQs. Alternatively, there is an excellent gastro pub and restaurant within walking distance.
Al Cala is situated in Connel, 4 miles from Oban “Gateway to the Isles” with great public transport links to Oban, Fortwilliam and Glasgow from the bus stop nearby; or for those who feel like a good hike, Beinn Lora is a mere 3 miles away. Walk the path to the top and you'll be rewarded with panoramic views across Mull, down to Jura and across to Ben Cruachan. Alternatively, for a more relaxed walk, you also have Tralee Beach in the same location.
An Cala is a perfect base for thrill-seekers, wildlife watchers, Munro baggers, foodies and those who just want to sit back and enjoy the view.

A great cottage with a fantastic view!
A lovely dog friendly cottage, with a fantastic view! The garden was big enough for the dog to run about in, to wear him out before bed time, though most days he didn't need it! The size was great for the 4 of us and the dog, we had enough space and privacy. The location was very good next to the Loch, though the road was quite busy, but the bedrooms are at the back so you hardly hear it at night. Nice to have blackout blinds in bedroom too , especially in June! We had a great time here for a week with our friends, our only criticism would be the lack of large pans for pasta etc. If you had 6 people( even if 2 were kids) you would need at least one large saucepan.

Great location
This is a comfortable house in a stunning location with a private sheltered garden. The living room faces the Loch, so has wonderful views. The owners were very helpful and responded quickly when we couldn’t get the coffee machine to work (our own fault). It would have benefited from a more modern and smart television, but otherwise we were very comfortable.

Fantastic house, views amazing.
Our first time visiting Scotland and the house was first class. Wonderful location with the most amazing views from the living room window. Great garden for our dog fully enclosed and safe. Lovely decor and very comfortable beds, spotless clean, the conservatory overlooking the garden a great place to eat our meals and nice to sit in when it rained. 10 minute drive to Oban, 2 minute drive to Falls of Lora hotel, good lunches and dinner. 10 minute drive to Lochnell Arms hotel, good lunch and views. Oyster Inn next door, good dinner and views. Communication with West Coast cottages was very good, overall we had an amazing time in this lovely house.

The views are breathtaking
We all loved our stay here. My mum normally gets homesick and she did not here. It was extremely well equipped. Providing dishwasher tablets and washing tablets. The garden was secure enough for our terrier, though I did stay out with her as she would find the smallest of holes. The beds were comfy and the showers had enough pressure and were hot. The sofas didn’t feel as comfy as we would have liked..but that is a totally minor issue. I couldn’t stop staring at the view from the living room window and my camera roll may be full from all the stunning sunsets. I would definitely come again and use west coast cottages again. Also highly recommend the stay

Great location!
House itself could use some improvements but location is excellent and a very well stocked kitchen for self catering holidays.
