How To Find Us

  • We always recommend the drive around the peninsula, rather than taking the ferry. For this route, set your navigation to “Avoid Ferries.”

    The drive is 20 minutes longer, but the scenery is breathtaking. You will go past the magnificent Rest and Be Thankful, and get a taste of Loch Eck - one of our favourite spots in the area.

    Via M8 > Erskine Bridge > A82 > A83 at Tarbet > Left onto A815

    One off-street parking spot per apartment. Plenty of nearby on-street parking.
