Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Loch Awe?
The best area to stay in Loch Awe is around the village of Lochawe, particularly for those seeking stunning views and easy access to the loch itself.

This area is situated on the northern end of Loch Awe, offering picturesque views across the water and to the surrounding hills. The village of Lochawe is quite small, centred around the impressive St Conan's Kirk, a unique church with vibrant architecture. There are a few local eateries and accommodations dotted along the A85 road and closer to the loch shore.

Couples looking for a romantic and tranquil escape will find properties near the loch's edge particularly appealing. Many accommodations here boast direct loch views, some with private jetties or access for boating, creating a very private and scenic setting. It's an excellent base for exploring the local walking trails or simply enjoying the peaceful landscape.

Families often gravitate towards accommodations that offer self-catering options or more space, which can be found in the quieter spots around the loch, a short drive from the village.
