The location of the Inn makes it an ideal centre for a touring holiday visiting such places as Loch Lomond, the Trossachs, the Mull of Kintyre and Campeltown, Dunoon and the Cowal Peninsula, Tighnabruaich and the Kyles of Bute and the Western Highlands.

Further around the loch lies Inveraray with its famous castle, the ancient seat of the Clan Campbell. Inverary Jail remains open all year round and has been voted Scotland’s top new attraction. Further afield is Loch Awe with its enchanting island castles and the Ben Cruachan underground power station. Mini-bus tours leave the pass of Brander for the station, hewn from solid rock, one mile inside the mountain.

For the hill walker and climber, Cairndow is within easy reach of some of the finest hill walks and mountaineering in Scotland, including Glencoe. Some of the mountains only a few miles from the Inna re Beinn Ime, Ben Vane, Beinn an Lochain, Ben Bhuidhe and the “Cobbler”.

Cairndow is also a favourite spot for boating and sea angling. 

Perhaps you just want a little peace and quiet. We suggest a walk up Glen Fyne possibly as far as the Lairige Dam, or just along the lane in the village, past the octagonal church, for a visit to the beautiful shrubbery gardens of Ardkinglas, with the tallest tree in Britain.
