Portnellan Lodges

As well as the river and loch banks on site, there are a further 21 lochs within easy reach of Portnellan, plus access to Britain’s largest body of water in the form of Loch Lomond (40 minutes’ drive). That means plenty of opportunities for canoeing, paddleboarding, swims and other watersports (or just enjoying the views on a waterside walk…) Mountains are in good supply too, of course. The Ben More trailhead is about five minutes’ walk away, and easy access to the A85 also means you can get to Ben Lui (25 minutes’ drive), The Cobbler (half an hour) and Ben Vorlich (an hour) without too much trouble. For a somewhat easier day out, try a stroll around Ardkinglas Woodland Garden (45 minutes), visit Inveraray Castle (50 minutes) or treat yourselves to a scenic flight with Loch Lomond Seaplanes (50 minutes).
