Stay in a unique self-catering cottage on Loch Sunart, Ardnamurchan. Explore private woodland, shoreline and wildlife at Greenwood Retreat.

Greenwood Retreat on Loch Sunart

Greenwood sits on the south-facing shores of Loch Sunart, midway between Salen and Kilchoan on the Ardnamurchan Peninsula.

Set within 70 acres of woodland, hillside and 1km of private shoreline, it is ideal if you are seeking a quiet and peaceful place to recharge, a romantic get-away, and a base to explore the rugged landscapes and wildlife that Ardnamurchan has in abundance.

Though this is a place of remote beauty, guests are not left to fend for themselves. The owners of Greenwood Retreat, Howard & Charlotte Espie, live on site with their young family and are keen to make your holiday experience as enjoyable as possible. Please do get in touch if you have any questions.
