The Inn at Ardgour

The Inn at Ardgour is a splendid small hotel on the shores of Loch Linnhe in the Scottish Highlands, just outside Fort William. After driving a few miles south of the town a short crossing on the Corran Ferry will take you more or less to the front door. Travel on the ferry is free for foot passengers, but there is a charge for vehicles. Ardgour is directly accessible by road from Fort William, but it is a very long drive and when dark it is not for the faint-hearted.

The hotel has twelve en-suite bedrooms and a family suite, each of them enjoying a breathtaking view of Loch Linnhe. It describes itself as a "pet-friendly establishment", but the caveat is that yours should be friendly pets. No dangerous breeds of dog are permitted, nor any other dog that is considered likely to frighten the kids. Petless visitors should be aware however that the hotel management is very mindful of the comfort of all guests. Rooms are cleaned meticulously and some are kept permanently pet-free, whilst inside the hotel pets are kept very much under control.

Many visitors use The Inn as a convenient base when climbing Ben Nevis, the UK's tallest mountain, or en route to Skye or other islands. However it should not be overlooked as a holiday destination in its own right - Ardgour and the area around Glencoe and Loch Linnhe is quite beautiful, and the hotel is very clean, friendly and well-run, with spacious rooms, pleasant dining area in which excellent food is served, and a well-stocked and very comfortable bar.

As well as a website The Inn at Ardgour also now has its own Facebook page. All contact details are given, but we recommend booking some time in advance to avoid disappointment.
