Knoydart House Studio
Knoydart, by Mallaig, Lochaber
Accessible only by foot or by boat, Scotland's Knoydart peninsula is one of the most remote areas in the UK and is known for its rugged wilderness, unspoiled wildlife and incredible natural beauty.
The area is ideal for an intimate and relaxing break where you can enjoy magnificent Munro mountain walks, wonderful woodland forages and idyllic shoreline strolls. Here, ranger walks can guide you to some of the local wildlife hotspots where roe deer, stags, otters and dolphins share your tranquil surrounds. You can go island hopping to the Inner Hebridean isles of Rum, Canna, Muck, Eigg and Isle of Skye - boats sail daily. Knoydart is a designated national scenic area and is traditionally known as 'Britain's Last Wilderness' because of its remoteness.
Knoydart House Studio is an excellent base to take in Knoydart's three munros; Meall Budhie, Ladhar Bheinn and Luinne Bheinn. Or sit on the quiet secluded beaches, enjoy beach barbeques, al fresco breakfasts or mackerel fishing for supper. Climb Brockets Monument, learn about the last Scottish land raid, see the cairn for the Seven Men of Knoydart or take one of many organised ranger guided walks or private 4 x 4 tour of the landscape. Take the Jacobite Steam train on a return daytrip from Mallaig or visit the stunning Camusdarach beach featured in the film Local Hero. Go stalking, stroll our beaches, climb waterfalls or swim in the rivers. Watch otters feast at dawn and forest deer and stags on the hill at breakfast. A boat trip watching for porpoise, basking shark, minke whale and seals make for an exciting day out on the water or relax in the hot tub under the night sky and watch the Milky Way overhead.
Just a 10 minute walk away, the local pub is the remotest in mainland Britain. There are two excellent restaurants 10 mins walk from your door where you can sample estate venison and local seafood. Also nearby is a cosy tearoom and pottery serving delicious hot chocolates, lattes, sweet treats and home baking for a quick spot of lunch or lazy breakfast. You can order in house seafood platters delivered to your door with fresh local ooh langoustines, hand dived scallops, mussels and other delicious fruits de mer.

The giant sunken large luxury outdoor hot tub with 84 jets and a constant 35 degrees Celcius, is great after a day on the hills.
