The Mingarry is a “boutique hotel” of 8 rooms where the host, Emma, gives personal service. The entire hotel: entry, room, restaurant, is beautifully decorated. At the entry, there’s a little bookcase gift shop of postcards, journals and other locally-themed and locally-made items.
We stayed in the Mingarry Room. The living room area was huge with a large sofa, coffee table and desk and a tiny balcony that felt very safe. A little table and two chairs were provided and the balcony offered a great view of the highlands and the surrounding fields. Not a dramatic view but a quiet and calm one. The bedroom included nightstands, another desk, and a little bench to sit on to enjoy the view from the window. Skylight in the bathroom which was really nice to let light in but keep the bathroom private. The bathrobes were huge fluffy, so luxurious! The bed was so soft and we slept really well. The living room included a Nespresso machine and tea kettle with teas, instant coffee and cocoa, biscuits. There was also a small fridge with mini-bar with free waters along with liquors and luxury snack items for a fee.
Behind the hotel is a lovely grassy field, ponds and farm ducks. In the field were three, clear geodomes to relax in style! Each “pod” kept the cold and the bugs out. Inside each pod is a heater, love seat and lounge chairs that can seat 4, a coffee table and lights. Mimosas on arrival (can’t beat that!) and Emma will also deliver snacks, desserts or libations.
The attached restaurant—hands down, the best food of our trip! Their Cullen Skink is to die for! The menu changes frequently according to the availability of local produce. There are few tables and there are few restaurants in the area so having a reservation is a good idea. The restaurant includes a bar with a good selection of local whiskies and gins.
There was plenty of parking. A car is needed to get here and to the area attractions. Most of the roads are single lane but the drive is worth it!
Located in Acharacle, Loch Shiel Hotel has a garden and a shared lounge. Featuring a restaurant, the property also has a public bar. The accommodations provides free WiFi.

We rarely hand out a perfect score. Here is why we could not do any other way. The breakfast was excellent. The lady of the house Liz, cooks the breakfast herself at the time you wish. Do not be late, since she takes great care in serving excellent tasting food, with home made jams in the conservatory, with a view of their very green garden.
The house is beautifully decorated with pictures by Innes, the husband of Liz, who has a talent for photography. You can buy the pictures framed for a very fair price. The room is superb; everything is their in the right proportions designed with care and in a British tradition, excellent beds and great shower. The place is so clean.
The friendliness and interest in their guests is what stands out most. Innes drew several special maps for us, so we would not miss the things we wanted to see and experience the best of the Highlands. They are so willing to make your stay the best you can imagine in Scotland. And that is what they did: the best stay!
Brackenbrae Holiday Cottage is located in Acharacle. Guests staying at this holiday home have access to a fully equipped kitchen.Parking is available. The holiday home consists of 3 separate bedrooms....

The village is in a really beautiful place on the edge of a loch.
It has all of the amenities you could wish for- a well stocked shop, a takeaway and a lovely cozy cafe. We really enjoyed our day there.

Acharacle is an ideal central location for exploring Moidart...
Acharacle is an ideal central location for exploring Moidart, Sunart and Ardnamurchan. There are plenty of short walks (up to 5km) within a 30-minute drive as well as more remote mountains, such as Ben Resipol. The driving distances aren't far but the roads are mostly single track so allow more time for courteous and careful driving. There are plenty of Forestry Commission car parks for wildlife hides and nature walks. There are fewer signposted mid-range walks (10-15km) but they do include the superb Silver Walk along the shores of Loch Moidart (starting from Tioram Castle) and the walks around Kentra Bay. The Ardnamurchan peninsula is stunning! The lighthouse guide is incredibly interesting and well-informed and Sanna Bay is beautiful. There's a nice walk there from Portuarik. There are boat trips on Loch Sunart and Loch Shiel. Acharacle is approx. 1 hour drive from Mallaig (ferry terminal) if you also want to visit the small islands (Eigg, Muck, Rum and Canna). It's a great base if you enjoy the outdoors and want to get away from the crowds.

Coille Darach is a first class B&B situated near Strontian in the Ariundle Forest. The house was new, immaculate and comfortable, the breakfasts excellent. Mary and her husband John were friendly, kind and helpful, we really enjoyed our all-too-short stay. The whole of the Ardnamurchan peninsula is wild, beautiful and very interesting geologically. Acharacle village is a few miles from Coille Darach, a pleasant place at the end of Loch Shiel (on which are boat trips) with sandy bays nearish at Kentra Bay and Ardtoe. Also near is Castle Tioram. Cafe Tioram at the end of the village provided a good light meal. Nearly all the roads (and there are very few) are single track so need care and courtesy, but are all part of the delight of the area.

This makes a superb base to explore the stunning Ardnamurchan Peninsula, especially trips to the lighthouse ( = furthest westerly tip of mainland UK), Mallaig and Glenfinnan Viaduct.
I would like to have stayed longer, so I could use the short ferry to the island of Islay.
The road to the lighthouse is a bit like being on the big dipper as it winds through the breathtaking countryside.
There was v little traffic when we went in late May - so it was an utter delight - but this would be v unpleasant, arduous and even dangerous if it was v busy.
The lighthouse itself is a superb attraction with an extraordinarily well stocked cafe considering the barren, remote location.
Mallaig is quite a nice town, and excellent for sea food, which, as a vegetarian was not for me, alas!
There's also Glenfinnan Viaduct which is certainly spectacular. There are also the beautiful and unspoilt golden sand beaches of Arkaig.
There are other attractions too, all wrapped up in the most glorious scenery and welcoming Scottish hospitality.
But think on:
Scotland is practically litter free, of which the Scottish and visitors can be truly proud.
KEEP IT THAT WAY OR STAY AWAY!

The village is in a very pretty area and within easy reach of beaches, a castle, and pleasant country walks.
Can recommend Ardnamurchan generally but remember WiFi signal is very patchy and it rains a lot! Also you definitely have to know how to drive safely on very small single track roads. Not for the faint hearted!
The location in beautiful and quiet Acharacle was ideal. Our hosts were warm and welcoming and made sure we had the right parking space. The breakfast was made to order and they were flexible with some changes we requested. Delicious! We loved the little chats with the hosts after breakfast and their dogs added to the charm (though they were in the garden and we didn't go into the garden). They even booked us for dinner at the neighbouring pub on the evening we were checking in. Overall, a lovely stay, thank you!
This luxury pod is superb in every way. It was perfect for one and would be excellent for a couple - similar to staying in a roomy boat or caravan. Despite being just off the main road, it was wonderfully quiet and dark. There are good places to eat in Mingarry and Acharacle. There is also a well-stocked shop in the latter. It provided the perfect base to explore Ardnamurchan - an hour to the lighthouse through spectacular scenery. Getting there is much easier, now the Corran Ferry has reopened for cars.
The hotel is quite remote and in a beautiful location. There is a small store directly opposite and some lovely country walks all around. The scenery is breathtaking. Breakfast has good choices and is tasty. The evening meal is extra but the chef is good. Other options are a fair distance away. The room was comfortable, and the shower was good. The staff were generally good and helpful. It is not overly expensive either.
You could not fault this lovely house. It may not be the most beautiful property to look at but it has the best views and it was absolutely immaculate. The location is brilliant , remote but Loch Shiel hotel nearby for a drink and a meal and dog friendly! There is nothing you need in this property it is all there . So much to do in the area and such a great place to have as home for the week !
Liz and Innes were great hosts, very friendly and kind. The location was excellent. They made us feel very welcomed and did not mind what time/when we went out or came back. Breakfast was fantastic, as they say, they will give you a great breakfast to set you up for the day. Room was big and very comfortable, would highly recommend staying there if you were visiting Acharacle/ Highlands.
GORGEOUS hotel and I can't even begin with how amazing the food is. Portions are huge and by the end of the meal you are struggling to finish your plate- just because it's so good you don't want it to go to waste. The size of the room was perfect for us, and they left everything we could've needed in there.
The location is ideal - right in the centre of the village of Acharacle, next to the store. The caravan was clean, decently-equipped and good value for money. Off-road parking.
The Cafe Tioram, a couple of minutes' walk along the road, is a great place for breakfast or lunch.
Excellent room - really spacious with a comfy king bed and armchairs. The ensuite was big and immaculately clean. There was a lovely view over the garden to the back and hills to the front. We also really enjoyed the breakfast. Excellent value compared to a lot of hotels.
The location was ideal for our road trip around Scotland. The staff were welcoming, friendly and helpful we enjoyed the singing chef(a very happy chap). Great value and popular with locals and passing visitors to the area. Breakfast was included and really tasty.
Lovely host, beautiful room with a great shower, lots of extra touches that made it very comfortable. Brilliant location with walks from the door. Delicious breakfast and a great small hotel in the village that does good food.
this is a family run hotel and it has a lovely warm feeling about it. nothing is too much trouble and everyone is so friendly. we felt like we’d dropped into a community.
Such a lovely location to explore the area. We spent time in Kilchoan area and Sunna beach area. Lovely and peaceful! Silver Way is nearby for more beautiful walking.
