Strontian

Travel Guide

The stunning Loch Sunart in the Scottish Highlands. Ferries across the Inner Seas of Scotland are free to pedestrians and cyclists . . . and what better way to explore spectacular Lochaber. The terrain varies from easy flats around the coast and the lochs, to some challenging hills between them. The scenery however, is constantly stunning! This tiny village of Strontian takes its name from the element (Strontian), which was discovered in the lead mines here in the late 1700's. It is also the perfect spot to stop for a coffee and light lunch.

Wasn’t really sure what to expect due to the renovation work currently in progress but actually it didn’t make any difference. The view from our room would have been the same, the back of an old BT building. The room wasn’t a hotel suite but more a mini apartment in a block at the back of the hotel, ...

I’ve stayed here many times and each time I’m greeted with wonderful, thoughtful staff. The hotel has only a few things (like the hallway) that are a tad dated, but the rooms are gorgeous. The pool and sauna are lovely, and the restaurant is incredible. This is a must stay!!
