Craiglinnhe House

Craiglinnhe is a small, intimate guest house situated close to the shores of Loch Linnhe, near Ballachulish in Argyll.

The mountain ranges at Glencoe are on the doorstep, while the Nevis Range at Fort William [to the North] and the ferry port of Oban [to the south] are within easy reach.

The accommodation has been awarded a 5 Diamond rating from the AA and the Scottish Tourist Board have graded Craiglinnhe as a 4 Star Guest House.

Hosts David and Beverly Hughes create an atmosphere of warm hospitality and aim to provide every comfort to make your stay a memorable one.

The charming Victorian villa, built in 1885 from local Kentallen granite, is set in attractive gardens overlooking the loch and surrounded by spectacular mountain scenery.

There is a comfortable sitting room where guests are welcome to read the many books and magazines, enjoy a drink or simply admire the view.

The relaxed atmosphere, together with good food and wine, offer you the perfect opportunity to unwind, whilst those feeling more energetic can enjoy a wide range of leisure activities in the area.

The bedrooms are all of a different size and shape - befitting the age, style and character of the house.

With either a double or twin beds, they have full en-suite facilities (shower, toilet and wash basin).

All bedrooms are well equipped and have:

• Colour television and video
• CD hi-fi system
• Hairdryer
• Tea and coffee making facilities

All bedrooms are on the first floor of the house and most enjoy magnificent loch and mountain views.

Meals are served in the attractive dining room.  In addition to a traditional Scottish breakfast, lighter alternatives are also available.

Dinner is optional and consists of a three-course set menu which changes daily.  To complement the food Craiglinnhe offers a selection of wines, beers, malt whiskies, liqueurs and soft drinks.

Packed or picnic lunches can be prepared for guests.
