What to do and Where to go.............
| Fishing is free to all our guests including the use of the boat. Fishing is for brown trout, sea trout and salmon. Bring your own gear but we are always pleased to advise the best places to fish. The boat is down on the lochside and it is a beautiful spot to have a picnic while resting after the fishing activities!

Pony Trekking. There is a centre that is run by Alison MacLeod at Achnalarig Riding Stable, near Oban. (01631 562745) and treks are organised according to your experiences across the hills behind Oban.
Glencruitten Golf Club in Oban is an exciting and hilly 18 hole course with a modern Club House. Flora and fauna abound on the course and in the spring and early summer it's a splash of colour with the pale-blue iridescence of the harebells and the violent patches of yellow of the whins. Among the fauna, Buzzards are a regular sighting, as are Pheasants, Heron and Deer. Although not visible, there is the remains of a vitrified Roman fort, on top of the hill on the 4th hole , which is a listed ancient monument. 01631 562868 www.obangolf.com |

Eating out: Local hotels and restaurants have proved to be very satisfactory in the past and include:
The Oyster Brewery at Easdale is highly recommended by us and during high season we suggest you should book (01852 300121). They brew their own beers and my husband reports that they are excellent! www.oysterbrewery.com
