Out and About

Explore

Ardnamurchan, Scotland’s most westerly peninsula, is home to iconic landmarks and stunning scenery. Visit the Ardnamurchan Lighthouse for panoramic views of the Atlantic, explore the tidal ruins of Castle Tioram, or take a stroll to the Ardnamurchan Distillery, and sample their whiskies.

Discover

A boat trip to Staffa and Fingal’s Cave is a must—see puffins in summer and marvel at the island's basalt columns and Fingal’s Cave, renowned for its sea-sculpted formations. Hop over to Tobermory on the Isle of Mull, where you can explore charming shops, cafes, the aquarium, and a local distillery. For a day trip, a scenic drive east brings you to the Glenfinnan Monument and Viaduct, where the iconic Jacobite Steam Train crosses stunning Highland landscapes.

Unwind

Ardnamurchan boasts many stunning beaches. Bay MacNeil is a secluded cove with dramatic cliffs and views of the lighthouse, and it's an easy walk to Portuairk, a small hamlet with beaches and rock pools. Sanna Bay offers vast white sands and turquoise waters, framed by an extinct volcano. Camas nan Geal, with views of Ben Hiant, features ancient crofting remains and a Bronze Age burial site. The Singing Sands are accessible only by boat or a long walk through woodlands. Ardtoe, ideal for families, has shallow waters, rock pools, and views of the Small Isles.

Adventure

For adventure seekers, Ardnamurchan offers many exciting experiences. Paddle through crystal-clear waters on a guided kayaking expedition, try paddleboarding, or embark on a snorkelling trek through kelp forests. Charter a boat to spot wildlife or enjoy the many fishing opportunities around the peninsula. On land, hike up Ben Hiant and Ben Resipole for great views, hire a bike for a scenic cycle, join a guided tour, or enjoy a pony trekking adventure. For something truly unique, try a leather-crafting workshop, where you’ll create a bespoke leather item to take home, or a wilderness weaving experience, crafting a tapestry inspired by Ardnamurchan's landscape.

Day Trips

We are very much looking forward to re-opening Aspen Lodge on 10 July. We would like to thank all of our guests for working with us, and being so understanding in these difficult and uncertain times.

We would like to reassure you that we have tailored our response to the pandemic with the safety of our guests and housekeeping team being our main priority. In particular:

  1. Our property managers have undertaken specific contamination training to ensure that their cleaning products and techniques are as thorough and advanced as possible, and specifically tailored for eradicating germs.
  2. In accordance with the government cleaning advice for non-healthcare environments and the industry guidance for self-catering accommodation, hard surfaces within the house will be thoroughly cleaned and disinfected, and all linen is laundered appropriately.
  3. Our house brochure and welcome letter are provided in electronic format only – which guests may download and read at their leisure.
  4. We have always provided handwash for our guests at the lodge, and we have now added hand sanitiser and gloves. We would ask guests to bring their own masks please.
  5. We have been deemed Good to Go by Visit Britain, which indicates that we are following government and industry guidelines, and have a process in place to maintain cleanliness and comply with government guidelines.
