For small-group, bespoke adventures across west Lochaber’s wildest nooks, Otter Adventures in Strontian has you covered, from gentle canoe or kayak tasters around Loch Sunart to multi-day wild-camping expeditions around Ardnamurchan and beyond. They’ll match the journey to your vibe, whether you're after sea, forest paths, bikes or boots –sharing stories, wildlife, and epic views along the way.

With views of Loch Linnhe, and nestled in the Morvern mountains we can safely say that the setting of Airds Hotel is more than idyllic. After a day's walk, settle down by the open fireplace before dining on honest, stomach-warming food. There is a reason this is labelled the jewel in Port Appin's crown. 

Crowning its own tidal island in Loch Moidart, Castle Tioram is straight-up atmospheric. Once the stronghold of Clan Ranald, it’s seen sieges, battles, and centuries of Highland drama, before being abandoned in the 18th century. Meander across the causeway at low tide and you’re treated to epic views of the loch, rugged hills, and nearby Eilean Shona.

Incredibly remote, and all the better for it, Borradill takes its name from a legendary Viking warrior. The House sleeps up to six with Scandinavian-Hebridean style, oak floors, huge windows, and a master bedroom that’s difficult to leave (wake to Loch Sunart, and the isles of Mull and Morvern). Tucked higher up the hill, the Cottage sleeps four and has a wood-burning stove, monsoon shower, and a deck with more of those dreamy loch views. Outside, 25 acres of woodland (where some of Europe’s most intact tracts of Atlantic rainforest still sprawl), streams and ponds are full of owls, pine martens, eagles, wild blueberries, chanterelles, and secret forest camps for kids – or grown-ups who want to play, too.
