Getting here
Weβre only a 40 minute drive from Fort William and 1 hour from Oban

Buses also go from here to Glasgow/Edinburgh or North through the Highlands to Inverness β a couple of hours either way. Thereβs up to eight a day in summer and a few less in winter so good for getting away on your days off.
The legendary Kingshouse hospitality is your first clue that it might β just might β be possible.
Our crackling fires thaw the coldest of bones β with a little help from locally sourced food, beers and single malts. All served with views to tempt even the weariest to proclaim themselves ready to do it all again the next day.
