Beautiful area

Guests love this home’s scenic location.
Just outside Fort William and at the foot of Ben Nevis, Tarmachan is your perfect West Highland getaway. Situated in one and half acres of private land, Tarmachan is overlooking Loch Eil and surrounded by mountains, with rich vegetation and wildlife (red deer, pine martens and hundreds of wild birds). We are also 5 minute away from Glenfinnan Viaduct (Harry Potter bridge).

Please note the maximum number of adults is six per booking, however, we can host two extra children under 12 upon request.

The space
Situated in private land, with remarkable views over Loch Eil in the Highlands, Tarmachan is your perfect Scottish dream. It is best suited to families or groups of friends seeking for a true West Highland adventure.

Pull up on the private driveway and spend some time soaking in your scenery in the garden, with around one and a half acres of landscaped gardens with mature trees, shrubs, bushes and a pond, you can find plenty of nature on your doorstep, with the background of the mountains making a delightful setting for alfresco dining.

The conservatory also benefits from the beautiful views with its large surrounding windows, a bespoke 'Mozolowski & Murray' dining hall, here you can enjoy a homemade meal in the company of your loved ones, with plenty of space to seat the whole group comfortably.

The newly fitted, well-equipped kitchen boasts ample preparation space for the chef of the group to delight at, alongside all the appliances and utensils you could possibly need, even with a dishwasher to assist with the washing up.

Spend the remainder of your evening unwinding in the sitting room, the open fire bringing a welcoming warmth to the room, with a great selection of books, board games and a Smart TV providing your entertainment each evening.

Guest access
Please note that Tarmachan ground extends to the stream only and beyond that is our neighbour's property. We would gratefully appreciate it if you could keep to our side while exploring the area and respect their privacy.
