Local activities and attractions

Choose to do a lot, or just a little when you stay with us at one of our cottages. We’ll provide the roof over your head and you can decide the rest. To get your adventure started, we’ve cherry-picked the best local attractions and things to do on your visit to the Ardnamurchan Peninsula.

Cut through the calm waters of Loch Sunart on your kayak or canoe and explore Ardnamurchan from a different point of view.

Kayaking and canoeing

Take a trip around the peninsula on a chartered boat to spot whales, dolphins, porpoises and basking sharks in the deep waters off our shores.

Whale watching

Try your hand at river and loch fishing and catch salmon and trout, or venture out to sea with an expert at the helm, and see if you can bring back the catch of the day!

Fishing

Pull on your walking boots, grab your route map and take a casual stroll along the coast, or a more challenging trek in the mountains.

Walking

The crags along the peninsula vary in difficulty, so cater to novice climbers through to experts. But what they all share are sensational views.

Rock climbing

Fresh seafood from the lochs, locally-farmed lamb and beef from the hills and organic vegetables from local salad farms are used in local cafes and restaurants at every opportunity.

Places to eat

Hire a bike when you arrive, or bring your own from home, then get out and explore the local trails and paths on two wheels.

Cycling

Take a tour, or just keep a look-out as you explore, and you’ll spot dolphins and whales, rare deer and mink and maybe even a golden eagle overhead.

Wildlife

Ardnamurchan wasn’t always so peaceful. The area is scattered with the memories of ancient volcanoes, Viking warfare, Medieval barons and Scottish kings.

History

The temperatures may not be tropical, but secluded white-sand beaches with sweeping costal views and pristine sands are here on your doorstep.

Beaches

The peninsula is a paradise for photographers and painters. Bring your camera or easel and create your own art, or visit the loch-side art gallery and appreciate others’.
