Druimarbin Farmhouse

Living

Adorned with pretty pink tones, the welcoming sitting room, surrounded by large windows, affords plenty of room for slow moments and easy living. Illuminated by mood lighting and showcasing commanding views, it beckons for relaxation and features two deep four-seater sofas in dusky rose arranged around a marble-topped coffee table. Sink into one of the comfortable sofas or chairs, immersing yourself in the captivating pages of a book or the stunning views of the loch just two hundred yards away. For cinematic evenings together, settle in front of the 55" Smart TV, complete with Netflix and Xbox. In winter, the cosy atmosphere is enhanced by the warming glow of the wood burning stove, while in summer, the sitting room's French doors can be opened to meet the patio and the outdoor, six-person wood-fired hot tub.

Eating and dining

The light-filled kitchen of Druimarbin Farmhouse proposes peaceful moments over soothing cups of coffee and social gatherings with sparkling flutes. Cute and compact with a bespoke kitchen island, it cleverly incorporates an array of integrated appliances and useful additions, such as a slow cooker and Nespresso coffee machine, so dream feasts can easily be prepared. Bathed in tranquil tones and featuring a pearly marble-topped counter, its soft palette reflects the earthy hues and organic textures of the grassy, bracken-fringed swathes beyond its window. Adjoining the space is an open-shelved pantry, while next door is a dining room with stunning loch and mountain views. Featuring a family-sized dining table and chairs that can be extended to seat sixteen, a comfortable armchair designed in traditional Scottish tartan, and an open log fire, this is the perfect space for unforgettable repasts. You will also find a handy utility space next door to the kitchen.

With a feeling of remoteness, yet conveniently located for travel links and shops, it's only three miles from the historic lochside town of Fort William. It resides in close range of the highest mountains in the UK, including the mythical and almighty Ben Nevis, and offers endless things to see and do. Particularly enticing for adventurers, the UK's only mountain gondola can be found at Fort William, affording skiing, snowboarding zip wiring and high-octane biking opportunities in the mountains, whilst water enthusiasts can indulge in paddle boarding, white rafting nearby and even a round of golf on the water's edge. The Silver Sands of Morar, the Singing Sands of Gortenfern and the Jacobite Steam Train in Fort William (used as the Hogwarts Express) promise untold magic, while Loch Linnhe Cruises offer enthralling journeys through jaw-dropping surroundings. Private fishing on Druimarbin Farmhouse's trout and salmon river can also be organised by prior arrangement.

To complement days in the wild, our stunning sanctuary is served by wonderful shops and eateries, including the popular Garrison, The Limetree and Crannog Seafood Restaurant in Fort William.
