Stronaba Croft Cabins

Take on the big three of the West Highlands… Ben Nevis, Loch Ness (half an hour’s drive) and the Isle of Skye (an hour and a half) are all within reach. More mountains on your mind? From the Nevis Range Mountain Resort (10 minutes), take the gondola to Aonach Mòr (35 minutes) for walking trails and downhill mountain biking trails (or skiing in the winter). Follow the 'road to the Isles'… Glencoe (45 minutes), Oban (an hour and 25 minutes) and Mallaig (an hour and 10 minutes and a nice spot for a wildlife cruise to see dolphins, basking sharks, seals and sea eagles) are all splendid spots along the route. A cruise too? Glide over Loch Linnhe (20 minutes) or Loch Eil (20 minutes) with entertaining commentary from the boat’s skipper. Another journey, this time one known as the ‘Hogwarts' Express’, the Jacobite Steam Train (20 minutes) in Fort William crosses over the Glenfinnan Viaduct to Mallaig. That's not forgetting West Highlands' historic castles. There are many, including the ruins of Old Inverlochy Castle (15 minutes), the grand Eilean Donan Castle (an hour and 10 minutes) and the famed Urquhart Castle (55 minutes) on the shores of Loch Ness.
