Rose Cottage – Romantic Retreat on the banks of the River Aline
Nestled beside the tranquil River Aline with breathtaking views over the Castle Pool towards Kinlochaline Castle, Rose Cottage is a romantic and inspiring retreat on the stunning West Coast of Scotland.

Set apart in peaceful seclusion, Rose Cottage is framed by fragrant climbing roses and the gentle sounds of the river. It’s a place to unwind, reconnect, and enjoy the simple pleasures of Highland life.

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.
