There's always plenty to see at Loch Gruinart. In autumn, thousands of white-fronted and barnacle geese arrive. When they leave in spring, wading birds take centre stage. Watch it all take place from our viewing centre and hide, or from your car along the roadside. The reserve is open at all times. The visitor
centre is open daily from 10 am to 5 pm. Entrance charges: Free, but donations to help the work are welcome.

I have selected the properties on Private House Stays for their individuality that results from being privately owned. They take many forms from bed and breakfasts to small hotels but in each case it is the marque of the owner that sets it apart. This may be the charm of the furnishings, the wholesome home cooking or simply the atmosphere created by a charismatic host. I have inspected most of the establishments listed here and feel sure you will enjoy staying in them too.
Remember - booking through Private House Stays is free of charge.
