Ben View Hotel

Overview

west of the tranquil, scenic village of Strontian. At the eastern opening of the Ardnamurchan Peninsula, the most westerly point of the British mainland and overlooking Loch Sunart, we boast the most stunning scenery, history and sheer abundance of wildlife.

Our breathtaking backdrop is the 2700 feet high Corbett of Ben Resipole. The hotel has superb views to Ben Garbhein, Loch Sunart and the Morvern Hills. Our garden once formed part of the old Caledonian Forest. Golden eagles soar high above, buzzards, sparrowhawks, pine martens and red deer are commonly seen.. If you''re lucky you may even spot the elusive Scottish wildcat.

We pride ourselves on our warm welcome and our friendly, local staff. The hotel is ideal for mountain walkers, birdwatchers and wildlife enthusiasts. The hotel offers all ensuite rooms and evening meals using excellent local produce.

What's more, at the end of your exhilarating day exploring the area, we can promise you a little heaven, relaxing in our new sauna or spa bath, followed by fine food and drink in our restaurant before settling down to a peaceful, stress-free night's sleep in our comfortable en-suite rooms.
