General Info |
|
| |
The house is in a stunning elevated position, very central within the woodland in the village of Inverie and enjoy the peace and quiet that comes with the privacy of our woodland. There are few houses that are set back off from the estate road yet close enough to the the pier, post office and village pub The Old Forge, when you want them! The house is South facing, so it enjoys hours of sunshine all year round. The house is made up of floor to ceiling glass, so you share your views with only the deer, golden eagle and abundant birdlife while watching dolphin, porpoise, seal and otter in the loch. |

Details on the area surrounding the property/accommodation |
|
| |
Watch otters at play and deer in the woods from the house decking in an ideal elevated position looking directly across the loch and out to the small isles.
Catch the Jacobite Steam train made famous by the car chase with the little wizard of Hogwart from Mallaig for the day. Take a day trip on one of our many fast water taxis to the small isles of Eigg Rum and Canna and visit Rum Castle. Go whale and dolphin watching, climb one of the three munros, organise a days stalking / shooting on the Knoydart Estate. Look for sea-eagles, book a rangers guided walk, go crabbing on the shores of loch Nevis, fungi foraging in the woods beside the house or curl up with a book after a long soak in the hottub under the stars. End your day with a nightcap in the local award winning hostelry, The Old Forge, mainland Britain`s remotest pub. |

Getting There:
| Knoydart offers a unique hideaway experience being remote, with boat access only and Google maps would have us believe you could drive in- but you can’t! There are a number of excellent connections that can take you here directly. All trains to Fort William and Mallaig go via Glasgow train station. By car, follow the famous A830 “Road to the Isles” from Fort William. Best to allow yourself 1-1 and ½ hours from Fort William to Mallaig. 3 ½ to 4 hours if traveling from Glasgow to Fort William the same from Edinburgh to Fort William or 2 to 2 and ½ hours from Inverness to Fort William. Harry Potter fans will be delighted by the viaduct bridge made famous on the Hogwarts Express/flying car chase is Just after the Glenfinnan monument. |

We all got home safely though I have to say...that none of us wanted to leave! We had an amazing holiday - KNoydart House was the last word in luxury and comfort. Everyone was so friendly and helpful and you live in one of the most beautiful places on the planet. To top it all, the Munro Baggers among us completed all they set out to achieve.
