Druimneil House

Situated 20 miles north of Oban, this is an ideal base for touring the jagged coastline of Western Scotland and the surrounding mountain ranges.

Druimneil House, a grand Victorian property built in 1850, overlooks the lovely Sound of Shuna and Loch Linnhe.

The rooms downstairs are spacious and elegant with antique family furniture, pictures and porcelain, creating the intimate atmosphere of a country house.

The beautiful mature garden, a blaze of colour in early summer, is open to the public under the Scottish Gardens Scheme between Easter and October.

There are also two self-catering properties to rent, in the grounds of the house.

Upstairs are the well appointed double bedrooms, each with their own bathroom.

Facilities in each B&B room include a colour television and a radio.

Tea and coffee making facilities are provided, and a hairdryer is available on request.

Meals are served in the dining room, with the emphasis on local produce wherever possible. Generally, everything at the house is home-made.

The traditional country house fare includes vegetables and fruit from the kitchen garden, along with locally-caught fish and shellfish.

Druimneil House and its picturesque grounds provide a wonderful setting for a wedding.

Both the wedding ceremony and reception can be arranged - please ask for details.

Buffets and parties of all kinds can also be accommodated.
