About this property

Bracken Lodge

Welcome to Bracken Lodge

Your forest escape on the shores of Loch Awe. 

Set in Dalavich Forest Park, Bracken Lodge is a warm and inviting two-bedroom timber cabin designed for slowing down, recharging, and reconnecting. Spend quiet mornings looking out to the trees, head out for a woodland walk to the loch, or settle in for a cosy evening by the fire after a day outdoors.

Bracken Lodge is ideal for well-being breaks, family getaways, and dog-friendly stays. Whether you are planning a weekend reset or a longer escape, it offers a comfortable base with the calm of the forest right outside your door.
