ENTRY: The main entrance is to the right of the house as you drive in over the gravel parking area. This leads in to a spacious hallway/utility room and also a separate room with toilet, washbasin and shower. The sun-room, to the left of the house, should not be used as your main entry. If there is no-one there to welcome you then the main door will be unlocked for your arrival.

On first arriving and exploring Dallachulish Lodge – please be aware that some of the upstairs rooms have an area with a sloping ceiling.

HEATING:  The control panel is in the hallway opposite the bathroom; press ‘1 hour ‘ to extend the heating and +/- button to adjust the temperature if required. Control is set for constant hot water, so no need to adjust. If you fill more than one bath then you may have to wait for hot water to get back up to temperature again.

FRIDGE/FREEZER: Built in fridge under the microwave and a tall fridge/freezer in the utility room (do not switch off).

RECYCLING: See chart below (small bins in utility room can be mixed with the items listed below and then all put together in the main blue recycling bin at the end of outhouse). Plastic bottles and Tetrapacks and cartons, after rinsing, can be squashed flat to save space. Please bag all other ‘general waste’ and place in green dustbins. Separate bins are at the end of the outhouse (long stone barn) for glass only. Please do not mix glass with other waste bins as it is dangerous.  Thank you.

DISHWASHER INSTRUCTIONS: On drawer unit in the utility room, the ‘P’ setting for programmes is easy to follow on the machine itself.

WASHING MACHINE: Settings are manual for temperature and spin speed. Quick wash takes approx. 60 mins, using the ‘mixed load’ setting on the left hand side of the control panel. Gel pods go in the back of the empty drum, before adding your washing and powder (if used) goes in the drawer section marked ’11’ fabric softener (if you use it) goes in centre with flower symbol. (Section marked ‘1’ is pre-wash only so seldom needed).

COFFEE MAKER: Please see the following instructions for the coffee maker: Download here 

SAFETY FIRST: Remember to unplug all phone/laptop/i-pod chargers/hair straighteners/curling wands when you are not in the room (these appliances have been known to overheat and can cause a fire) and extinguish any candles or naked flames.  Kettle, toaster and coffee maker can be switched off at the wall socket after use.

GROCERIES: There is a well stocked Community Store (Premier) at Port Appin which is 10 minutes drive – north over the bridge – and a small supermarket in Benderloch, 6 miles south. Oban with it’s many stores is 12 miles away.

ELECTRIC VEHICLE CHARGING:
There are no facilities to charge electric vehicles at Dallachulish Lodge. There are charge points in Oban.
In the event that you need an emergency charge, please contact Ross, the owner first. 

ON DEPARTURE DAY:   Please leave all towels to dry off over the bath or shower door and ensure that the extractor fans have removed any shower steam. Leave a window open on it’s latch, if in doubt. Clear out both fridge & freezer and discard any unwanted items and empty the coffee machine and teapot and put the waste in the general waste bin, also empty the wastepaper baskets in the bedrooms. Both rubbish and recycling can then be placed in the larger bins at the end of the stone barn.  If you have any breakfast dishes to clear up, place  them in the dishwasher and leave it to run on a normal cycle. 

PLEASE DON’T FORGET TO LEAVE THE DOOR KEY.
