EASTER SUNDAY
We are offering Sunday Roast on Easter Sunday, 20th April. When we have the menu and timing we will post it here, so please feel free to pop back now and again - we will also obviously be sharing details on our social media channels as we have them!
OUR NEW BUG HOTEL
We welcomed Strontian Primary School yesterday to name and start furnishing our Bug Hotel in the Bothy Bar beer garden.
Congratulations to Esme Ferguson who won naming our new building “Starbugs”
The school’s eco club will be involved in furnishing Starbugs every Thursday.
IMPROVING OUR OUTDOOR SPACE WITH A NEW BEER GARDEN
We have already been busy outside in early 2025 creating a vastly improved outdoor space for hotel and Bothy Bar patrons, with plenty of seating for all, in a spot that makes the most of our brilliant views. Of course, there is also ample free parking for patrons, so it's the perfect place to stop for an evening meal, and we occasionally do Sunday Lunches too, please keep an eye on our Bothy Bar Facebook page for details, although we will also be posting the menus here and on our hotel social media channels.
GUIDED WALKS
Wildling Walks offers tailor-made guided walks for all group sizes, solo travellers and set at an appropriate level for your mobility and fitness. Watch out for forthcoming Woodland Trails and Fairy Tales events.
ARDNAMURCHAN CHARTERS
Ardnamurchen Charters offers boat tours and boats for private hire on a half-day or day basis. They have a wealth of experience in wildlife toursm, and operate electric boats that are quieter and kinder to the environment. They also run long distance wild swimming events and excursions.
WILD SWIMMING
Swim Highlands offers one-to-one coaching, group swimming, guided swims and wetsuit hire and are based in Strontian.
STRONTIAN VILLAGE WALKS
There are several great walks in and around Strontian, of varying lengths and difficulty and you'll find a dowload link for some of the shorter, easier walks below. If you're staying with us for a few days, these will give you plenty of options without even getting into your car.
Of course there are plenty of great walks just a little further out of Strontian too, and a stop at one of the local shops to grab a picnic will make them a solid part of a good day out when you reach their best viewpoints.
The Forestryandland website is a really great resource to help you find all the best short walks and viewpoints in the area.
Garbh Eilean Wildlife Hide is worth a special mention as it's a great place to see the local wildlife, involves just a short, steady walk, and is not far out of Strontian. From Strontian, take the A816 west for about 5¼ miles (8.5 km). Garbh Eilean car park is on the left. PH36 4HY is the nearest postcode. If you're after a lovely day out, why not visit the hide then drive on to Salen for lunch at the Salen hotel or jetty tearoom. You can then check out the available tours for another great day out.
