Lochdon is a tidal loch and there are fantastic views from Ardwhin over the water and the conservatory offers a great place to take in the surrounds. Craignure is the closest village and main ferry port on the island and has a range of hope and eateries. Tobermory is a 45mins to the north and Fionnphort (where you catch the ferry to Iona) is 50 mins to the south.
