Location

Although quite remote, these two farmhouses are only three miles from Fort William which makes self-catering easy with a large supermarket separated from the town with it's own car park. There are many shops and restaurants in the town as well as a cinema, museum, tourist information centre, heated indoor swimming pool, leisure complex with snooker, a bowling alley, fitness centre and small children's play area. There is a wonderful scenic steam train, which travels from Fort William to Mallaig.

For those wanting to enjoy the great outdoors there are two golf courses locally, skiing, with a cable car open all the year round with access to a world championship mountain bike course. There is pony trekking, fishing, climbing and water sports as well as a chance to see many species of birds and wildlife. This area of Lochaber boasts itself to be one of the few areas of Great Britain still to have otters, red squirrels, pine marten, golden eagles and the occasional wild cat. There is a wonderful island of seals nearby which can be visited on a boat trip from the town's pier, and if you are lucky you might even see dolphin or whales.

Apart from the fascination of several great films and television programmes having been made in the area, such as Braveheart, Rob Roy, The Harry Potter Series and Monarch of the Glen to name but a few, there is so much history to absorb all around that it would take a lifetime to find it all. However Druimarbin and Coruanan Farmhouses are very well situated for visiting many historical sites as well as exploring the mystical and romantic islands of the West Coast, such as Skye, Mull, Iona, Staffa, Rum and Eigg etc., all within a day's trip.
