Located in the West Highlands, Ardtornish is a special place where heritage meets country living and a community comes together with a shared passion, which is to breathe life into a Victorian Estate and to share our story with visitors from near and far.

The landscape here means many things to many people; for some it conjures thoughts of home, for others it’s a cherished place to visit – it’s a family legacy and a place of work. Ardtornish is a family business, its many facets working together to support a community. Many faces here will become a familiar sight – some born here, others drawn here later in life, but all sharing one thing in common – a passion for Ardtornish and a duty of care as custodians for this place which has been thriving since the Victorian era.

“Ardtornish is an enchanting place; I have fallen for the Celtic myths, the wonderful light and the endlessly unrolling landscapes, and now I have an urge to come back to explore as many of the islands of Hebrides as I can. I have the feeling that this vast expanse of islands and turbulent seas is an alternative world, an innocent, half-forgotten place, blessed by its remoteness and silence. There are different kinds of silence: this is the silence of prehistory. And, of course, there are said to be salmon in the rivers.”
Justin Cartwright, Conde Nast Traveler – Dec 2014

Owners of Ardtornish, the Raven family, have created a successful commercial enterprise through their vision and the drive of the team they’ve put together. We produce our own beef and lamb from the farm, sell our own homemade ready meals to self-catering guests and have a thriving Farm Shop and Kitchen Garden.

Several hydro schemes make power from our waterways, and country sports attract enthusiasts from around the globe to fish Salmon and Brown Trout in the sparkling rivers and lochs. At the heart of everything is Ardtornish House and gardens, which with our self-catering cottages attract many loyal, long-standing visitors.

The Ardtornish team is passionate about the local area, and committed to sustainability and development of our community and the Lochaline area – including by providing affordable housing and building plots at nearby Achabeag and undertaking local conservation projects in partnership with Edinburgh University. You can find out more about our Highland country estate and it’s Victorian history on our Wikipedia page.

Ardtornish holds a special place in the hearts of everyone who visits. Don’t just take our word for it – explore the estate for yourself, discover Ardtornish’s secrets, and begin the journey that leads so many back time and time again.
