With distant views of Ben Nevis, opposite Glen Coe, on the shores of Loch Linnhe and at the entrance to Glen Gour, Ard Daraich is well placed to enjoy all that�s good about the Western Highlands. What was once the garage of Constance Spry and then the potting shed for Ard Daraich Hill Garden and Nursery is now a self-catering Garden Studio for all those keen to enjoy this part of the world. Set within the seven acre hill garden started by �Connie� and now with a well known collection of Rhododendrons, the Garden Studio offers comfortable self catering accommodation for two within easy reach of several Corbetts and only a short walk to a sandy beach.
This is one of the most unspoilt areas of the West Coast of Scotland, the mountains are so close you can almost touch them, and the sea is but a stone's throw away. The property is very near Fort William, the Outdoor Capital of the UK, with climbing, sailing, skiing, hill walking, cycling, white water rafting to name but a few of the activities on offer. It is also within easy reach of the Isle of Mull, Glenfinnan, and Glencoe, all of tremendous historical interest and well worth visiting.
The sky is big here and the tranquility mesmerising.
