Ard Daraich (The Height of the Oak in Scottish Gaelic) is the home of Norrie Maclaren and his wife Anna Raven, set above Loch Linnhe in Ardgour.
Norrie's family bought Ard Daraich in 1969 and began planting a hill garden and ericaceous plant collection, while Anna brings her own gardening heritage and background as a painter.
The house was built in 1909 as a holiday cottage, extended in 1929, and later became the holiday home of Constance Spry, inventor of Coronation Chicken.
The property is beautifully appointed, in a lovely location, and the owners made us very welcome. We were very comfortable during our stay and appreciated the cosy log burner during those few rainy days. We hope to come back again and explore the area even more. Highly recommended.
It was our second time at Ard Daraich. It feels a bit like paradise, with the garden, the birds singing, the beach nearby, and the quiet location without many tourists in Ardnamurchan.
Really lovely cottage in a fantastic location. It was so nice to be slightly off the beaten track yet still within reach of many great places. The cottage had everything we needed and was such a comfortable place to rest our legs and read after a long day of hiking. We had a great time.
Warm, friendly, and helpful hosts.
A magnificent stay at this beautifully located and well-appointed property. Instantly relaxing and connected to all the right things. Wonderful.
Lovely location and great hosts. Loved it.
We loved the Garden Studio. Lovely kitchen. Thank you so much for the special garden tour.
