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.
