From The South
Travelling north from Glasgow on the A82, after you have driven through Tyndrum, you will climb up onto Rannoch Moor and then through the Pass of Glen Coe. When Loch Leven appears on your right you have just under a mile before you turn left into Ballachulish. After the left turn into the village you turn left again into Loanfern, Fern Villa is then just 150 yards on the left hand side.
Travelling north from Oban on the A85 travel for about 5 miles and turn right at Connel (you will see the Connel Bridge crossing the water) onto the A828, continue for about 26 miles until you come to a roundabout (you will have driven under the Ballachulish Bridge). At the roundabout take the first exit. Travel for approximately 2 miles and take the first right into the village and follow the road round to the left, after about 300 yards turn right into Loan Fern by the Laroch Restaurant and Bar. Fern Villa is then just 150 yards on the left hand side.

It is pronounced Ba-la-hoo-lish
It translates as the village by the narrows. It really applies to North Ballachulish which is where Loch Leven meets Loch Linnhe by the Ballachulish Bridge. A narrow stretch of water where until 1975 a turntable ferry operated.
