BOATING
Ardanaiseig has its own fishing boats, which can be used for rowing but also are equipped with a 4HP outboard engine. Why not rent one of the boats to cut across the loch and visit the ruins of Kilchurn Castle, the ancient burial ground on Inishail Island or one of many other smaller islands.

Ben Cruachan
Overlooking Ardanaiseig is Ben Cruachan; a 1126m mountain that is the highest point in Argyll and Bute. One of the Highlands’ finest Munros, it is the highest of a grand range of sharp peaks between Loch Awe and Loch Etive and is fantastic for hiking enthusiasts. It also gives its name to the Cruachan Dam, a pumped-storage hydroelectric power station lying deep within the mountain.

Oban
A 40 minute drive from Ardanaiseig is the resort town of Oban, located within the Argyll and Bute area. Despite its small size, it is the largest town between Helensburgh and Fort William. Oban is perfect for a day out by the sea, where visitors can enjoy boat trips, sea life watching or even whisky tasting at the Oban Distillery.

Cruachan Reservoir
The Ben Cruachan gives its name to the Cruachan Dam, one of the country’s most amazing engineering achievements; a pumped-storage hydroelectric power station lying deep within the mountain. Located only 45 minutes from Ardanaiseig by car.

Inveraray
Inveraray is a town on the western shore of Loch Fyne – roughly an hour’s drive from the hotel – and is home to Inveraray Castle, the ancestral home to the Duke of Argyll, chief of Clan Campbell. One of the most iconic castles in Scotland, it features recently opened gardens, a woodland walk and a traditional tearoom.

Taynuilt Golf Club
Founded in 1987, this is a challenging 9-hole parkland course located close to the base of Ben Cruachan and with stunning views of Loch Etive.

Dunnstaffnage Castle
40 minutes from Ardanaiseig is the partially ruined Dunnstaffnage Castle. Built before 1275 on a huge rock overlooking the Firth of Lorn, Dunstaffnage was the stronghold of the MacDougalls. It can now be enjoyed for its fantastic views across boats, woodlands and the bridge over the Falls of Lora.

Bonawe Iron Furnace
Founded in 1753, Bonawe is the most complete charcoal-fuelled ironworks in Britain and is located at the head of Loch Etive under half an hour by car from Ardanaiseig. The Furnace now features displays which bring to life the industrial heritage of the area and illustrate how pig iron was made.
