White House Lodge Features in National TV Ad!

We were delighted to be asked by Nordan Windows to feature images of White House Lodge's windows in their upcoming TV ad campaign. Nordan feel that our windows are a perfect example of how their hi-spec windows can fit into a very traditional property on the exterior, yet fit in with a stunning modern interior - we're just happy to see our property on TV!

2016 Season Starts!

The 2016 season has finally started with our first guests of the year enjoying a break of great weather, deserted beaches and some great food in the Isle of Coll Hotel.
We’ve made some improvements to the property this year, Coll has also had some exciting developments including Vodafone 4G, the amendments to the ferry timetable including better ferry predictions on sailings and cancellations. The An Cridhe Community Centre has also some exciting new amenities and Events for the coming year.
In the property we have now added Netflix, purchased four more dining chairs to avoid having to use bar stools when it is a full house. We've replaced the temperamental dishwasher, added a washing line and even managed to do a full clean of the chandelier – we had to buy scaffolding to achieve this but the result is spectacular!

Winter Ferry Timetable Amends

We are delighted that there is now a Monday ferry throughout the year. Previously there was some strange anomaly which meant that for a few weeks every winter the island was without a Monday ferry. This caused inconvenience for our guests since it meant Winter bookings has to be carefully made to ensure that there actually was a ferry on the day they wished to arrive.

New review- Absolutely Perfect!

Taken from Tripadvisor :

White House Lodge and the Island of Coll were perfect from start to finish. The house is amazing and big enough to accommodate, Four teenagers and three adults without us bumping in to each other. The house was very clean and everything you could need was there. White House Lodge was a very luxurious place to stay. You won't be disappointed at the quality of everything in the house.
The waves were amazing for body boarding and we highly recommend going to see Carole in the town to hire Kayaks or purchase some of the unusual items she sells.
The community centre was great for any rainy days as you can hire part of the hall for a couple of hours, to play table tennis, short tennis or basket ball. We were lucky that a Ceilidh took place while we were there and that was just such a good night. I thought four teenagers might get bored on a small Island with limited things to do, but they had a ball and they all said they would love to go back. And so would I

Pizza on the Beach!

We are delighted to see that an enterprising local will be cooking fresh pizzas every Friday (from 22nd May!). This is hugely exciting since it gives our guests an opportunity to have a break from langustine and Coll Hotel meals. Orders are taken by email to Coll_the_chef@hotmail.com up to 4 pm or 01879 230000 after that - just remember they don't deliver and only serve between 5 pm and 8 pm!

Surf board rack installed in garage for guest use

Having purchased a couple of surf boards for the use of guests at White House Lodge, we thought that we’d ensure that they get kept in a perfect condition. Off the floor, nice and dry and on view – perfect!

The top board is a pro board, so best avoided (unless you are a pro surfer – in which case, help yourself!)

Shed now has an easy access door

We love our guests using the shed to keep their toys and bikes safe and their wetsuits dry.

Their feedback was, however, that the big double doors were unwieldy and easily caught the wind.

We have therefore just added a pedestrian door to the shed to allow much easier access.

Enjoy the door.
