The Property
Keepers Cottage - The Jewel in the Crown:
 
From its position located high on the hill just outside the Ardtornish garden boundary, Keeper’s cottage commands the most impressive uninterrupted views, down the Loch onwards to the Isle of Mull.
 
The Cottage was once the home of Ardtornish Gamekeeper and as such it is right in the heart of the grounds. There is direct access to trails in the native Woodlands and Ardtornish House Gardens which extend beyond the self-enclosed garden of Keepers’ itself.
 
This cottage is cosy enough for two people and large enough for six and welcomes dogs.

The ground floor also has a sitting room with a multi-fuel stove, two comfy sofas and an armchair. The sitting room features a flat screen TV with Freesat and a DVD player alongside a docking station.

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.

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!
