Historic Dalilea House is a classic Scottish turreted house, parts of which date from the 16th century. It is situated within a working farm.

This beautiful area is perfect for people wanting to get away from it all, whether that means walking our ruggedly beautiful mountains, fishing in Loch Shiel or the many hill lochs, relaxing on our sublime beaches or visiting our many local historic sites.

Dalilea House has five bedrooms, four of which are ensuite, and all our bedrooms have tea and coffee-making facilities.

We aim to provide a warm, friendly and comfortable base from which to explore this remote and wonderful corner of the West Highlands. Family-run and attractively-furnished, Dalilea has an informal, relaxed atmosphere which guarantees you will return home refreshed and with very fond memories.

In earlier times, boats were the easy way of moving around the area and Dalilea House, situated on the main waterway through the centre of Moidart, is steeped in history.

In 1745, Prince Charles Edward Stuart (Bonnie Prince Charlie) sheltered here before he was rowed along Loch Shiel in Clanranald's galley to a gathering at Glenaladale, immediately before raising his standard at Glenfinnan to raise the clans against the British Government.

The huge oak tree standing alongside the house was planted in the 18th century by Alasdair MacMaighsteir Alasdair, the renowned Gaelic poet.

The active visitor will find much to see and do in Moidart and Ardnamurchan. Dalilea sits on the banks of Loch Shiel, an area which encompasses many hill-lochans, all of which are renowned for salmon and sea trout fishing.

In Loch Shiel is the ancient, possibly pre-Christian, burial island of St. Finan, also known as the Green Isle.

Boats can be hired for fishing or just exploring the loch, and the MV Sileas does regular cruises on the loch, often with a Ceilidh band on board.

Wildlife in this unpolluted region is prolific: red deer abound and golden eagles and other rare birds are regularly seen at Dalilea. The local flora is breathtaking, especially in May and June when the hills are smothered in orchids, and rarities such as the Chequered Skipper butterfly are found only in this locality.
