Garden Cottage For Two, Close To The Sea And With Views Of Ben Nevis and Parking

At the beginning of the Ardnamurchan Peninsular and in the centre of Lochaber,
this is one of the most unspoilt areas of the West Coast of Scotland. The mountains are so close you can almost touch them, and the sea is but a stone's throw away.

The Garden Studio is set within an eight acre plantsmans garden with an important collection of Rhododendrons, Acers and Sorbus as well as viewpoints and garden benches for far reaching views towards Ben Nevis and Glencoe. Off the beaten track of the main tourist attractions of Fort William, Glencoe and the Nevis Range you are still within each reach, with a twenty minute drive to find them all. The flowering season for the garden is April and May and we also have amazing Autumn colour during September and October. For Garden Lovers these are the months to visit.

Catch a ferry for a short five minute crossing and enter another world of peace and quiet away from the A82.

Walk for five minutes to a sandy beach with footpaths to the shipping way mark in the middle of Loch Linnhe and look south towards the isle of Lismore and beyond to the Firth of Lorn. Watch the seals on the rocky outcrops in the loch, reachable at low tide or go out at dusk to try and spot an otter returning from its evening feed.
Walk along the old drove road in Glen Gour between the hills towards Strontian where you might see and eagle, Golden or White tailed. There are several Corbetts within walking distance of the house so you can even spend a day climbing a hill without using your car.

Parking is for one car and there is access to a locked carpark if required.
With a self contained garden, this cottage is dog friendly for a maximum of two for a fee.
