We are very lucky with our neighbours at White House Lodge. My brother Alex, his wife Seonaid and their three kids live just down the road. They refurbished the White House at Grishipol at a similar time to us at White House Lodge.
Over the past couple of seasons Seonaid has mastered the home cooked ready meal, made from meat reared on their farm.
This is a brilliant idea for so many reasons - White House Lodge is surrounded by farmland, so you can see the quality of the raw ingredients. You don't have to cook every night when you are on holiday. And the best part - order in advance, and your meals with be delivered straight into The White House Lodge freezer - ready for your arrival!
There is an extensive range of dishes available. We loved the Moroccan Style Lamb Tagine and the Beef in Ale with Onions.
A full menu can be found here >>> Just email or phone your order.
Just remember, only those staying at White House Lodge can have meals delivered directly to their freezer!
On our most recent trip to White House Lodge we were lucky enough to attend a ceilidh at An Cridhe - Coll's brilliant new community centre in Arinagour, Coll's only village. One of the the local teenager's was fundraising to go on her gap year with Project Trust, the volunteering educational charity based on the island.
What a beautiful building, with great facilities. We spent most of the time chatting to some of the locals at the bar but there was a great atmosphere in the main hall where much dancing was taking place!
An Cridhe is definitely a great asset for all- particularly for those staying at White House Lodge. There are a wide list of activities taking place throughout the day, evening and weekends. A diary is available here. We love the fact that there is plenty of wet weather activities (it does rain now and again) but also good opportunities to mix and mingle with the very welcoming locals.
Table tennis, indoor hockey, kids football coaching, coffee mornings, parent and toddler groups, badminton. All activities that you are welcome to join. You can also hire the main hall to run your own activity.
What's the catch? Oh yes, you need to be on Coll to enjoy An Cridhe. Come to White House Lodge and the Isle of Coll. You'll LOVE it!
