This highest-rated Highland inn is bursting with personality

This welcoming old Highland hostelry lies at the mouth of the Great Glen on the shores of Loch Linnhe near Fort William. The oldest part of the inn, now the Ardgour Bar, began life as cottages for the Corran ferrymen after... More About Inn at Ardgour Hanoverian troopers burned their homes to the ground following the 1746 rebellion. Today, every one of the cosy bedrooms is at the front of the inn to catch the spectacular mountain-framed view of the loch. In the foreground the ferry plies back and forth across the loch as it has done for many hundreds of years; after all, this is the original 'Road to the Isles'!

This is also the beginning of the Caledonian Canal, so many visiting yachts and fishing boats and even Scotland's last working paddle steamer, Waverley, can be spied. When you can finally bear to tear yourself away from this captivating view, the Western Highlands offer outdoor diversions from hiking and wildlife watching (otters, seals, golden eagle, red deer and wild goats) to day trips to the Hebridean islands of Mull, Iona and Skye. For duller days, relax in the comfortable Residents Lounge or enjoy the craich (chat) in the Ardgour Bar where the whiskies are plentiful.
