Craigrowan is
a mid-Victorian house,modernised and upgraded but still retaining
many of its original features.It is set in 15acres of croftland on
the edge of the peaceful village of Strontian at the head of beautiful
Loch Sunart.
We have just two guest bedrooms, one double with en-suite shower room,
and a twin with private bathroom. Both are attractive, warm and comfortable,
with tea/coffee making facilities, and a TV. A cot and high chair
are available. |
 |
Craigrowan is
ideally situated for exploring the peninsulas of Ardnamurchan and
Morvern, and is within easy reach of the ferry from Lochaline to the
Isle of Mull.
Ardnamurchan is famous for its variety of wildlife, and the patient
visitor may be rewarded by the sight of otters, deer, Golden and Sea
Eagles and many other native species. We are very close to the shores
of Loch Sunart,and there is a recently built slipway at the jetty
from which to launch dinghys and larger craft to explore the sheltered
waters of this spectacular loch.
Strontian is also an easy drive from Fort William, and of course Ben
Nevis, GlenCoe, and the West Highland rail-line (of Harry
Potter fame!) |

Our croft is a mixture of rough hill and deciduous woods, and borders
a beautiful forest walk.We are part of the Rural Stewardship Scheme,
and graze Highland cattle to encourage the growth of
indigenous wild flowers, which in turn support large numbers
of birds, butterflies etc. Our hens are truly free-range, laying
delicious eggs for your breakfast, and our delightful pig Bertha
will appreciate your attention (preferably accompanied by food).You
are welcome to wander over the croft (bring your wellies!) Stalking
can be arranged in season.
There are many local walks, as easy or strenuous as you wish, and
we offer drying facilities just in case it rains.There is plenty
of off-road parking and bikes can be kept under cover.There is also
room to park a dinghy.
We are happy to accept well-behaved dogs,we just
request that they are not left,unattended,
in the rooms and are put in the car during breakfast.

Although we are happy
to be members of the Ardnamurchan
Tourist Association we do not subscribe to any quality assurance
scheme.
We know we offer high quality accommodation and a great breakfast
in a slightly unusual setting, but we would definitely lose points
on our
mis-matched furniture and total lack of trouser press! However,
none of our guests, so far,has been too worried at less than
immaculate jeans, but we do have a very good iron if necessary! |
