The Experience
Getting here is half the fun. You end up on the ‘headland of the great seas’, Ardnamurchan, with the Atlantic surging around you on three sides. The cottage, all on one floor, overlooks a gleaming loch, big windows show off dreamy views and the forest is blessed with oak, birch, rowan, larch and spruce. Stay quiet and you may be lucky enough to see owls, otters, pine martens and even eagles.
Indoors is warm, restful and pleasing with natural materials, some antiques, interesting pictures and comfy seating, a log-burner for cosy evenings and a well-equipped kitchen with room for joiners-in; bedrooms have well-dressed beds and more lovely views. The peace will be palpable.
Children will be in heaven making dens and generally charging about safely, wild swimmers will find bracing waterfalls and wonderful beaches, botanists will be enthralled by the Atlantic rainforest and the idle can open a bottle of whisky and read a book quietly.

Location
The neighbourhood
You're left a welcome guide with routes for walking and loads of information about what you can do in the area. You will pass the shop at Salen Jetty to get to the cottage and you can pre-order a box of fresh produce to collect. A 20-minute drive will take you to Mingary Castle for posh food or there's a pub at Kilchoan, 20 mins. There are beaches at Ardtoe and Sanna Bay. Fort William is 1.5 hours.
Local points of interest from Claire Mookerjee
- Spectacular views from the picture windows mean than summer of winter you can enjoy the spectacular views whatever the weather - and it moves quickly from the Atlantic across the sea loch creating some spectacular displays.
- Set 25 acres of private woodland on the shores of a Scottish sea loch - we have footpaths and foraging from the door - so you can be in the wilds and a stones throw from a hot cup of tea inside.
- With Otters, Pine Martens, Tawny Owls, Herons, Badgers, a pair of Sea Eagles and Porpoises, Dolphins, Minky Whales on the Sea Loch there are always so much nature to spot from the cabins.
- Boat Charter and private boat hire are available just 5mins down the road for self-drive or to be taken out by the wonderful Andy who is also a local conservationist and can tell you everything about the Marine Protected Zone that we are part.
- You can order all local produce Venison, Grouse, Scottish Beef, Oysters, Lobster, Smoked Salmon and much much more all ahead of time to collect from our local The Salen Jetty Shop just 15mins down the road.
- With the Cottage (sleeps 4) and House (Sleeps 4-6) we can accommodate family and friend groups with really generous socialising spaces as well as plenty of space to be apart making for a peaceful as well as social holiday.

I kept searching the usual lyrical words to try and conjure up a picture for people of what Borradill is, but the answer is you just have to see it. Scotland rightfully boasts some of the most stunning scenery with vivid colours and textures. A stay at Borradill is literally sitting in the landscape and soaking up the immense beauty. If you want to Breath and Be and Go slow then here is the place.
