Welcome to the secret hideaway: Ardeonaig hotel. With stunning views of the banks of Loch Tay, the Ardeonaig hotel is something else. If you are looking for a peaceful, quiet hotel that’s something out of the ordinary, then keep reading.

Ardeonaig is a hamlet on the southern shore of Loch Tay. This hamlet used to be the place where boats stopped to deliver coal and let passengers disembark in the past. Nowadays, there are fishing trips on Loch Tay that stop at Ardeonaig to disembark for lunch. There must have been a ferry service, as the minister once came by boat to conduct church services.

Anyways, Ardeonaig truly is a hidden gem within Scotland and nature is absolutely wonderful. There are lots of things to do in the area, including an outdoor centre (Craggan) that's well-equipped for larger groups of up to 29 people, with toilet and shower facilities and a proper drying room. There's even a dining room with the most incredible views of Loch Tay. So for these views, the outdoor centre is already worth a visit!
