Additional Location Information
You take the fabled Road to the Isles from Fort William through the hills and by glittering lochs. You pass historic landing places recalling the early triumphs and final tragedy of Bonnie Prince Charlie, to arrive at what must be most people’s ultimate idea of a romantic hideaway... an honest grey stone mansion, originally built 1864 but much altered in the 1930s.
The fishing village of Arisaig is the point of departure for the Small Isles ferry (Rhum, Eigg, Muck and Canna) and a short sea crossing from Mallaig sets you ashore on the Isle of Skye. On the way to Mallaig you skirt the white sands of Morar with that bumper view of the Islands and the Black Cuillin mountains of Skye. Alternatively, you can stay around the gardens and relax entirely; or boat, fish, swim or snorkel a few 100 yards from the house.
A comparative newcomer on the Road to the Isles is its railway, the Mallaig Line (begun in the late 1860s) which follows the road route for much of the journey. Beasdale, the local station, was placed there for the benefit of the owners of Arisaig House when the railway came through shortly after the house was built. So there’s no problem about dropping in by rail and, if you hit a day when the train is steam-hauled, you are up for an unforgettable experience of world heritage standard, especially when the train crosses the Glenfinnan Viaduct at the head of Loch Shiel. The Mallaig Line has world status.

californiaWould return in a heartbeat
Left on 10/13/2012 for a stay in September 2012
What a beautiful surprise after a long day of driving. A very elegant country home in a beautiful country setting. The owner is down to earth, runs a fabulous house, and the rooms are spacious and generous in their amenities. Just stay here! Wish we could have stayed longer, and that we could have eaten dinner in their dining room. Breakfast was wonderful-freshly cooked, along with all the breakfast goodies. Beautiful view, great walks to the sea. You will not be sorry. Thank you for a great trip-Linda, Larry and Noreen

Alloa, United Kingdomextremely good value self catering cottages
Left on 09/24/2012 for a stay in May 2012
My wife and I stayed in one of the self catering cottages within the grounds of Arisaig House for a long week-end in May. Stunningly beautiful area on the West coast of Scotland. The cottage we had was ideal for a family as it had two very clean bedrooms upstairs, bath and shower , also upstairs, and a large living room and kitchen downstairs. The owner Sarah was very friendly and it had a real country feel about the place. Nearby is the famous Cammusdarroch Beach with magnificent views over to the islands Rhum and Eigg. I would also recommend the boat trip we took to the top of Loch Nevis...great value and we saw lots of wildlife too. The food in this area is exceptional! Cullen Skink , Scallops and prawns and the best steaks and Stornoway Black Pudding ever!!
We go to Arisaig for a long week-end every year, but this was the first time we had stayed at the cottages. We'll be back! Great value! -

AltadenaWonderful stay in a beautiful country manor house
Left on 06/07/2012 for a stay in May 2012
Arisaig House is a wonderful, large, stone manse located in a beautiful area near the coast with views of the woods, the meadows and the sea. The house is elegant, yet casual. The delightful hostess is very helpful and wanting to satisfy all of her guests' needs. We only stayed one night yet wished we could have stayed longer. We enjoyed walking through the beautiful grounds to the little beach nearby. Our accommodations were huge. We felt as if we were staying in a luxury hotel for a fraction of the price. We were served an excellent, gourmet dinner for a very reasonable price. It was hard to leave. Arisaig House is one of a kind!

186525A warm welcome which can't do enough for you
Left on 01/14/2012 for a stay in January 2012
We stayed at this wonderful house with a large group of adults and children. The house greets you as you arrive and this continues as you go in. The public rooms are warm, comfortable and personal. Like visiting a good friend. Tea and biscuits miraculously appeared without asking as we all chatted by the wood fire. Our bedroom was enormous and really comfortable with super views across the lawn to the sea. The owner was happy to suggest walks suited to all levels and tastes. Home made soup met us when we arrived back muddy. You couldn't feel more welcome. The owners seem to anticipate their guests wishes and be attentive without being intrusive. A wonderful place for a romantic weekend, or a family visit staying in their lovely cottages.

Lancaster, United KingdomWonderful Highland Hospitality and Comfort
Left on 05/29/2011 for a stay in May 2011
Sarah welcomed us to arisaig House with homemade cake and tea. An excellent start to a lovely stay.
Our suite was beautifully decorated, the bed extremely comfortable and from the two armchairs provided we had a wonderful outlook across the grounds to the sea. The bathroom was top class, with a very efficient shower and the good, deep, hot bath was just what was needed after a day of challenging highland weather.
The breakfasts were superb with a really wide range of choices. We ate in on two evenings and the food was truly excellent. The house wines were good and reasonably priced.
The whole experience was like being an honoured guest in a country house. We can't wait to return. -

Auchencairn, United KingdomFantastic home from home
Left on 05/18/2011 for a stay in May 2011
We stayed at arisaig House for one night in May together with our black labrador. Sarah and her team made us all feel extremely welcome and the food was sublime. Delicious dinner - all local produce, well cooked by their excellent chef: lots of fish, game and home grown vegetables. You can even see Sarah's walled vegetable garden from the house, you cant get much more local than that. We would definitely go back - if only to try the other menu choices!

MorarA fantastic place for a lovely dinner party!
Left on 02/11/2011 for a stay in February 2011
This was our second visit to arisaig House for an intimate dinner with friends. Sarah's hospitality is outstanding - as is the cuisine - all locally sourced. A beautiful house in a spectacular setting. I am thinking of going there for a long weekend or even a week's holiday - even though I only live five minutes away!! Highland hospitality at its best.
