Loch Awe is one of Argyll’s most distinctive landscapes. At over 25 miles long, it is Scotland’s longest freshwater loch, bordered by mountains, woodland, and historic sites. Its scale, quiet roads, and open surroundings make it well suited to visitors who prefer unhurried travel and time spent outdoors. The area offers a range of activities centred on the landscape itself. Kilchurn Castle, located at the northeastern end of the loch, is one of the region’s most recognisable historic sites and is easily accessible for visitors. Lochside walks, nearby hill routes, and viewpoints provide opportunities for walking and photography throughout the year. Loch Awe is also home to a number of independently run, working attractions. The Cladich Fold is a Highland cattle farm located near the southern shores of the loch. As a working farm, it offers pre-booked tours that focus on the breeding, history, and care of Highland cattle, giving visitors an insight into traditional agricultural life in t

There’s something especially comforting about a good coffee in the Highlands — particularly on a cool morning or after a walk along Loch Awe. At Ben Cruachan Inn, coffee is taken seriously, and it’s all about quality, tradition, and bold flavour. The inn serves coffee using a classic Italian Casadio Undici espresso machine, producing rich, full-bodied espresso just as it’s meant to be enjoyed. The beans are an extra-dark Italian roast, chosen for their deep flavour, strength, and smooth finish — a favourite with guests who appreciate a proper coffee. Coffee at Ben Cruachan Inn is served Italian-style: short cups, strong pours, and no compromise on flavour. Whether you’re starting your day, taking a break after exploring the area, or warming up by the fire in the afternoon, it’s a coffee that delivers exactly what you want — bold, satisfying, and memorable. For those who prefer something different, the inn also offers a carefully selected range of Clipper Organic teas, from classic blen

A winter stay at Ben Cruachan Inn, set beside the still waters of Loch Awe, is the perfect base for a relaxed escape — made even better with a visit to the nearby Fyne Ales Brewery. Just a scenic drive from the inn, Fyne Ales is one of Scotland’s most respected independent breweries.

Surrounded by woodland and hills, the brewery reflects the same sense of place that defines the Loch Awe area. Back at Ben Cruachan Inn, the connection continues. The bar proudly stocks three Fyne Ales draught beers on tap, alongside four bottled varieties, giving guests the chance to enjoy their favourites in a cosy Highland setting. There’s nothing quite like returning from a winter day out to a warm welcome, good food, and a perfectly poured loc
