There is a decking area to the front from where you can enjoy the views over the loch and mountains. A perfect spot to relax, enjoy the scenery and the coastline of what the peninsula has to offer.
Driving to Katie’s Pod you first have a romantic trip across the Corran ferry and then a lovely scenic drive down passing Loch Shiel, Acharacle and then onto Kilchoan, which is at the point of Ardnamurchan. The pod is close to Ardnamurchan Point and the shops and pub is 4 miles away, while Sanna Beach is 500 yards in front of the house and has beautiful sands. If the weather is nice, pack a picnic and head to the beach! Enjoy your morning cuppa on the decking watching the sea eagles hover above.
A nice day out is going over to the Isle of Mull by ferry from Lochaline over to Salen (please book in advance). The west coast of Scotland has many castles, some inhabited and some are now ruins, but well worth visiting. If you travel north you will come across the famous Eilean Donan Castle which is the seat of the Macrae Clan, and 30 minutes north you will drive over the bridge to the Isle of Skye. For a scenic route, you could take the ferry from Armadale back to Mallaig (book in advance) and return home to Katie’s Pod for a nice relaxing evening.
Glencoe is stunning, no matter what time of year, you can visit the Glencoe Visitors Centre and read about the Battle of Glencoe where the Clans the Campbells massacred the Macdonalds when they were asleep! or discover one of the many walks there are to explore. Bach 500 yards. Shops and pub 4 miles.
