Getting Here, By The Way

As we're located directly on the West Highland Way a great number of our guests arrive here under their own steam - and usually with tired feet! But we're not here just for weary Wayfarers, we're also an excellent location for all types of outdoor activities - or just a peaceful break from the rat-race.

There's a number of ways to get to us, including:

• Road - we're at the important "Highland crossroads" where the north-south Fort William and Glasgow route (A82) meets with the east-west Perth to Oban route (A85). We're far enough from the busy road to be peaceful, but close enough to be conveniently located.
  
  
• Rail - We are located just a few yards (literally) from Tyndrum Lower Station. This is the line which goes from Oban to Crianlarich, and continues onwards to Glasgow Queen Street, with a fabulous, picturesque journey beside Loch Lomond. For example, you can leave London Euston in the evening via the Caledonian Sleeper and be at our site mid-morning, changing only at Glasgow!
  
  
• Bus - we're on a main bus route, with various journey options available. Practically all the scheduled bus services coming along this important part of the road network will stop in Tyndrum.
  
  
• Ferry - yes, ferry! We're only 35 miles from Oban, with very frequent services to Mull, Colonsay, Coll, Tiree, Kerrera and other islands. We're also on the same railway line as the Oban service, with trains terminating right beside the Oban ferry terminal.
