Vacation Rental Description
One bedroom chalets, two bedroom lodges and a luxury five bedroom traditional Scottish farmhouse offer a range of accommodation options on our tranquil park in scenic Lerags Glen. Our country pub - The Barn - means you don't even need to self cater - but all our properties are fully equipped if you do want to cook for yourself and your family.
Pets are welcome in most properties but we keep some pet free for those with allergies. We also have assisted wheelchair access lodges and different bedroom layouts are possible using zip and link beds. Cologin is a rural site but less than 3 miles from Oban - with its varied visitor attractions. Onsite we offer free fishing and waymarked forest walks. Nearby there is a boat launching slip at Ardoran marine into Sealoch Feochan with access to the beautiful sailing waters of the West Coast. Family owned and managed, Cologin has been welcoming holidaymakers for many years and some of our customers are now 2nd and 3rd generation visitors. Enjoy wildlife, stunning scenery, friendly locals and easy access to Argyll from a comfortable and well equipped holiday home - your own 'haven in the hills'.

Water Sports
Sea fishing for giant hake is a popular activity. Also no trip is complete without a boat trip to see the seals, whales and dolphins. The local distillery produces Oban Malt and a dram is a must. A trip to Mull, Iona or any one of the many Inner Hebridean islands that populate the coastline should not be missed. Head for the hills and Ben Nevis (Britain's highest mountain) at nearby Fortwilliam or head into the mountains at Cruachan Hydrostation for a visitor attraction with a difference. Visits Castles at Dunstaffnage, Dunollie and nearby Inveraray or view the glorious gardens of Argyll - famed worldwide for rhododendrons. Historic attractions abound - Argll is the birthplace of modern christianity and of Scotland. Trace the country's origins at Dunnad and see how the Coastline of the Gael influenced Scottish history. There's plenty to see and do for kids too - the Sealife Centre, Atlantis Leisure and the Ice Factor are all good to go.
Owner Location Comment
Lerags Glen in the historic parish of Kilbride is less than 3 miles from the bustling town centre of Oban - 'Gateway to the Isles' yet it feels as if you are in the heart of the countryside. The rolling hills protect Cologin from the Argyll weather and provide lovely tranquil scenic views from all our properties. Oban is also steeped in history - it has been welcoming visitors for over 200 years but can trace its origins back to mesolithic times.
