Right on the water’s edge with an enclosed sun-deck, 4 Dolphins offers a luxurious water’s edge holiday experience with seals, otters and seabirds, so close you can almost touch them! The experience of being so close to the sea is something quite exceptional and you will never tire of the ever-changing views and sounds whilst you sit looking out, either from the sun-deck or the comfort of the glass fronted living room. 4 Dolphins is situated on the coastal outskirts of Connel, 6 miles north of Oban on the shores of Loch Etive, and is the ground level luxury apartment created by the owners who live in the house next door.
With exceptional attention to detail and with the comfort of guests paramount, all rooms are luxuriously decorated with comfort and convenience in mind. Within walking distance of 4 Dolphins are three restaurants and three bars, a convenience store, and a railway station. You are feet away from the beautiful Loch Etive and just 5 minutes from the amazing natural attraction of the Falls of Lora, a tidal race underneath the Connel Bridge. Nearby attractions within a 5-minute drive are Dunstaffnage Castle and the Ocean Explorer Centre in the village of Dunbeg which also has a very popular Garden Centre with a café.
Across the Connel Bridge, a 10-minute drive takes you to the village of Benderloch, with its famous Pink Shop, grocery store, cafés, Tralee Beach, Ben Lora woodland walks and easy access onto national Cycle Route 78 which stretches all the way from Oban to Fort William. Oban, just 10 minutes drive, is a bustling west coast harbour town, and has lots going on for the visitor at any time of the year. Known as the ’Gateway to the Isles’, with ferries leaving daily to many islands, such as Mull, Iona, Staffa and Lismore. In keeping with its reputation as the Seafood Capital of Scotland, there are some excellent restaurants, cafés and pubs.
The area is a paradise for golfers, water sports enthusiasts, mountain bikers, mountain climbers and walkers with all the nearby glens, mountain ranges and coastal paths to explore. Inveraray, the ancient capital of Argyll, with its Castle and Jail, is a fun day out for the family. For any guests with young children, there is pony trekking available in the area. A trip to the Isle of Seil, over the Bridge over the Atlantic and a fast fun boat trip viewing whirlpools and wildlife, is another day out for family fun! Further afield, but within an hour’s drive, visitors can enjoy the scenery of Glencoe, take a trip to Fort William to see Ben Nevis or catch the Harry Potter train.

What a wonderful place to stay. The ever-changing seascape, landscape and the visiting wildlife of seals, otters, seabirds and swans made ever day enjoyable. We even had the experience of 2 RAF Chinooks on exercise for the week at the small airport on the opposite bank. The welcome pack on arrival was beyond exceptional and Letitia was a perfect host. The well-equipped kitchen has everything you could want to make any meal, and the food at the nearby Falls of Lora Hotel is highly recommended.

Definitely 5 star across the board……4 Dolphins is the complete package, outstanding location, spotlessly clean, welcome hamper which was very much appreciated after a long drive and helpful and friendly hosts. Bed was very comfortable and shower was lovely. Nothing to faultOban is only a 10minute drive away and has an abundance of supermarkets As we travelled with our dog, unfortunately we were unable to try out some of the amazing seafood restaurants that had been recommended as they were not dog friendly , but that was our only disappointment Try a day trip to Mull and Iona, West Coast Tours were, again, friendly and helpfulHave already recommended 4 Dolphins to friends
