There is so much to do in the Loch Awe Area with everything from inspiring walks and climbs, boating, wild-swimming, fishing, golfing, historic castles and churches, splendid gardens, wildlife and the national park, friendly villages, fisheries and distilleries ...to name a few.
Mostly though, it is the breath taking scenery on the southside shore of Loch Awe with the stunning views of this magical loch and beautiful landscape beyond that keeps people close by. With three Bond films (Ian Fleming house close by), Harry Potter and Game of Thrones all filmed around here, our location is photographer's and painter's dream.

MAKE US PART OF your journey
Portsonachan can be a wonderful part of an exploratory journey . With the stunning coastal routes and every A-Road between your various staging posts passing through spectacular scenery, it's as much about joyous travel as it is about the destinations themselves.
Besides the magical Highlands, we're also about getting to know the undiscovered, completely tourismless side of the country, which is North Scotland.
With places, where there’s more sheep and hairy cows than cars on the roads, dramatic mountain ranges and mysterious lochs, ancient pine forests and a pristine coastline, this is a wild landscape unlike any other. From Scottish Islands and fishing villages along the coastline, to the natural wilderness of the Highlands inland, this is a trip and experience of a lifetime.

"We loved the quiet, calm setting and view from our lodge. Our favourite part of the day was our early morning walks along the loch shore - sunset was gorgeous too. Staff were very friendly and couldn’t do enough to ensure our stay was excellent. There was a lot on offer from the excellent restaurant, outside terrace or takeaway food to walking, fishing, boat trips and loads of helpful information about the area. We would definitely recommend a stay here!" Mark August 2021
