Dalavich is in beautiful Argyll, on the shores of Loch Awe. The Old School with its delightful apartments is the ideal place to rest, relax and recharge. If your looking for a peaceful break away from it all, then Carol & Peta have a warm welcome waiting for you, whether you have two feet or four paws.
Contact us to find out more about Dalavich Old School, and the facilities available to make your holiday special.
Carol & Peta moved from Buckinghamshire in 2012. They were both successful managers, with high powered and intense jobs but always dreamed of living closer to the hills and away from the madding crowds. Buying the Old School in Dalavich, certainly gave them the space and connection with nature, they both craved. They now have plenty of space to welcome friends and family, which is useful as they already have 14 direct descendants, including 4 great-grandchildren.
They both love the outdoors, are members of the RSPB and the Scottish National Trust. In theory, they came here to semi-retire, but somehow, they didn't quite manage that! Carol is on the board of various community led charities and they are both Directors of the Community Owned Run of River Hydroelectric scheme. They love talking about Awesome Energy and its achievements: why not ask for a tour of the scheme. They both love the hills and will happily advise on places to visit, good walks, and great places to eat. If you want their help, they will chat happily, if you want peace and quiet, they will leave you to your own devices. They welcome anyone and everyone seeking to slow down a little and recharge and love guests to bring their pets.
Carol and Peta met in 1972, and are soon to celebrate 50 years of married life together. They still enjoy meeting new people, love chatting and exploring, and firmly believe that life is a journey to be travelled well.

We enjoyed days out in Oban and Fort William as well as exploring nearby on foot and bikes. Made to feel very welcome too. Plenty of space for us in the apartment and a garden area out the back to relax in. Last question from our boys as we were leaving 'when are we coming back?'

Carol and her husband went far out of their way to help me, I took my wife's Ashes back to Loch Awe to put her to rest, and was so kind in helping me find a very special place to put her to rest.
You could not ask for a better host, very helpful and you need only ask if you ever need directions or anything else.
