MORVERN
Ardtornish estate is in the southerly corner of the beautiful Morvern peninsula, which forms the extreme south-western point of the Highland region.
 
Morvern is approximately 200 square miles, with Ardnamurchan to the north-west, Sunart and Ardgour to the north, and bounded by the Sound of Mull to the south, Loch Linnhe to the east and Loch Sunart to the north.  Morvern is a stunning and dramatic region with a geology and topography that reflect a turbulent volcanic history.  The main settlement in Morvern is Lochaline, which also serves as a ferry terminal to Fishnish on Mull.

Lochaline supports a pier side café, a general store, a post office, a pub, a hotel, a petrol station, a medical centre, a primary school, a church, a craft shop and a social club. There is also a Dive Centre and an award winning restaurant (The White House Restaurant), as well the Lochaline Sand Mine and a community forest nearby.  There is also an anchorage facility at Lochaline Harbour.   


DIRECTIONS
Almost all visitors drive to Ardtornish – either from home, or having taken the overnight sleeper train to Fort William, or flown to Glasgow or Inverness. Unless you are on a walking holiday there really isn’t any other convenient way of getting here.

In all of these circumstances the quickest way to drive to Ardtornish is to take the Corran Ferry across Loch Linnhe just 8 miles south of Fort William. The ferry takes about 5 minutes and saves a good hour’s driving around the top of the Loch. The current cost of a one way trip is £7.30 and there are usually two sailings every hour.
 
The latest Corran Ferry Timetable is at this link: https://www.highland.gov.uk/corranferry

1.As you drive off the Corran Ferry onto the Ardnamurchan Peninsula, turn left onto the A861 and continue straight ahead for 12.5 miles.
2.Turn left off the A861 onto the A884 at the top of Loch Sunart where the turning is signposted to Lochaline and Mull Ferry, continue straight ahead for 15.7 miles.
3.Turn left off the A884 onto the estate road where the turning is signposted Ardtornish. You are now only a few minutes from your destination.

The drive from the Corran Ferry to Ardtornish takes under an hour. If you get to Lochaline village you have gone a bit too far!
 

Super Short Stay

4.5/5 Stars Upfront Reviews - May 2025

Our booking was last minute but we were so happy not to have missed the opportunity to stay at Ardtornish. It has a magical feel and next time we would love the stay not to be brief.

 
Perfect place for my work
4.5/5 Stars Upfront Reviews - May 2025
Staying in Castle Cottage 2 for nearly two weeks afforded me the opportunity not only to photograph the area for my book but to write and organize as well. Hiking around the estate and up the road brought me close to the spirit of the time and place I am documenting in my book. I had been on the estate in summer but enjoyed the winter stay. The cottage was comfortable though a bit cold on the really chilly days. I loved curling up on the couch to read and take naps! My main focus was Ardtornish Castle and I was able to capture some images that will go well in the book. Lovely, peaceful way to spend a couple of weeks and allow my creative side to flourish. I travel alone but never felt lonely or isolated. The staff is great.
