Scottish Island Hotels have a special charm and romance of their own and you'll get a tingle of excitement when you cross the ferry to Ardnamurchan. An unspoilt Highland idyll on the most western peninsula in Britain and gateway to a myriad of wonderful Islands and Highlands. Kilcamb Lodge Hotel stands proudly on the shores of Loch Sunart on the outskirts of the village of Strontian and from here you can sample the delights of the area including the islands of Mull, Eigg, Rum, Muck, Staffa, Coll and Tiree as well as the delightful Moydart Morvern and Ardnamurchan Peninsula fondly described as "almost an island" because it is surrounded by water on three sides. All the small isles are an easy drive or day trip away. There is so much to do and see, you'll want to return time and time again.
