    Beautifully set on a embankment of the loch. Nice restaurant on site and a coffee/ gift shop. Lots of walks and great if you like water sports.

    The location was absolutely lovely, and the online photos didn’t really do the place justice. Great sunrises and sunsets, beautiful bay and local wildlife. Nice pub within walking distance. Very helpful hosts.

Neighbourhood information

Ardfern is a scenic coastal village on Scotland's Craignish Peninsula, in the magnificent and dramatic Argyll region. Ardfern is an ancient village with evidence of inhabitants reaching back to 600 AD, with a wrecked church on the Peninsula dating from the 12th century. Today, the village has a pub, a shop, a craft centre, a tearoom, and a marina, all of which are conveniently located for sailing off the west coast. Craobh Haven has a second marina, and the towns of Lochgilphead and Oban are worth a visit.
