Inchree's convenient location makes it an excellent base for those touring the Scottish Western Highlands by car or those who are enjoying the region’s superb walking. The lodge is exactly midway between the Glencoe and the Ben Nevis mountain ranges, with each being around 7 miles (11 km) away. The mountain ranges are iconic and are also renowned areas for hill-walking or climbing. There are walks of all kinds to enjoy locally, ranging from short, low-level walks, to more strenuous, full-day mountain walks. Several picturesque forest, waterfall, hill and beach walks can be done directly from the accommodation.
The Corran car ferry, which crosses Loch Linnhe, is just 500 metres from Inchree, and provides access to the beautiful Morven and Ardnamurchan Peninsulas. The ferry is also free to pedestrians and cyclists.
The town of Fort William is just 7 miles (11 km) from Inchree, and offers everything you would expect of a popular tourism centre.
With the lodge as a comfortable and relaxing base, you can also easily enjoy day trips to the Isles of Mull and Skye. The thriving town of Oban, with its picturesque harbour, is just a one-hour drive away.
There are many castles, both ruined and restored in the local area, as well as many ancient monuments and historic sites which are open to the public to visit.
Please note that your hosts are available to offer all guests the benefit of their extensive knowledge of the area and will be happy to provide recommendations regarding the best walks and attractions to enjoy whilst staying at Inchree.
