Finding us
Kentallen Pier, on the A828
The lodges and beach houses sit on the shore at Kentallen Pier, right on the A828, about four miles south of the Ballachulish bridge. From the north, cross the bridge and follow the coast road. From the south, the A828 brings you up from Oban through Appin and past Castle Stalker.
Reception is at the Holly Tree Hotel on the same site, and parking is free at every property. Glenachulish Bay and Wildwood are a short drive from the pier, and full directions to your own property come with your booking confirmation.

The questions we get most
What time can we check in?
Check in is from 4pm and check out is by 10am. Keys for the lodges and the beach houses are collected from reception at the Holly Tree Hotel. Glenachulish Bay and Wildwood have a lock box, and we send you the code before you arrive. If you arrive early you are welcome to use the swimming pool, the bar and the restaurant, and if you are going to be very late, give us a ring on 01631 740 292.
Do all the properties have a hot tub?
Yes. Every lodge, beach house and cottage has its own private hot tub, included in the rate and never shared.
Can we use the swimming pool?
Yes, free of charge as a self-catering guest. The indoor heated pool and hot tub spa at the Holly Tree Hotel are open 9am till 10pm daily and no booking is needed.
Is there anywhere to eat nearby?
The Captain's Bar and the seafood restaurant at the Holly Tree Hotel serve lunch and dinner. They are on site if you are staying at the lodges or the beach houses, and a five minute drive from Glenachulish Bay and Wildwood. Booking is worth it in season: email stay@hollytreehotel.co.uk or ring 01631 740 292.
Can we bring the dog?
Yes, to any of our properties, at £15 per dog per night. There is more on where they can go on our dog-friendly page.
Is there a shop nearby?
The nearest shops are in Ballachulish, with the bigger supermarkets in Fort William. It is worth arriving with the first night's food, especially in winter.
