The neighbourhood

Nestled on the spectacular Knoydart Peninsula, Inverie is one of Scotland's most extraordinary places to escape. Accessible only by ferry, his remote Highland village offers an unforgettable sense of tranquillity, surrounded by dramatic mountains, ancient woodlands and the shimmering waters of Loch Nevis.

For those who love the outdoors, Knoydart is a paradise waiting to be explored. Discover scenic coastal trails, peaceful woodland walks and secluded beaches, or venture further into the rugged hills for breathtaking panoramic views. Wildlife enthusiasts can look out for red deer, otters, seals and magnificent birds of prey, while the area's unspoilt landscapes provide endless opportunities for photography and adventure.

Despite its wonderfully secluded setting, Inverie has a welcoming local community and some delightful places to eat. Visit The Old Forge, Britain's most remote mainland pub, for hearty Scottish dishes, locally sourced seafood and a relaxed atmosphere. Alternatively, The Lookout Seafood & Steak Bistro offers another opportunity to savour delicious food inspired by the surrounding land and sea.

For a gentler afternoon, explore the village's charming tearoom, browse locally made pottery or simply enjoy the magnificent views across the water. Guided walks and outdoor experiences offer fascinating insights into the peninsula's history, wildlife and remarkable landscape.

As evening falls, return to the peaceful surroundings of your Highland retreat, where the beauty of Knoydart and the slower pace of life make it easy to leave the everyday behind.

Getting around

The ferry is for passengers on foot, therefore, cars must be left at Mallaig. Mallaig can be reached by train from fort William.
