Knoydart is the most famous of the "wilderness" destinations in Scotland that can be reached by ferry from Mallaig to Inverie across Loch Nevis. It cannot be reached by road. The coastline is dramatic and the hill walking considered to be as good as can be found anywhere. The Knoydart foundation runs the majority of the estate that is designated as a National Scenic Area providing accomodation and a ranger service. Boats can be hired in Inverie. The Old Forge Pub is the only option for catering and do not expect your mobile phone to work!
Private small hotels can (though not as a rule!) be the best and most exclusive accommodation to be found anywhere in Britain and are often to be found in converted country houses in the most beautiful gardens or on mini-estates. They can usually be booked on a full-board or Bed and Breakfast basis but expect tariffs to be at the more expensive end of the market. Learn more about accommodation types
