Getting there
The Ballachulish Hotel is just off the main A82 Glasgow to Fort William road, situated 400yds from the Oban (A828) roundabout underneath the bridge. Coming from Glasgow or Stirling you will pass by the village of Ballachulish and will come to a roundabout. Take the right hand (Oban) exit. If you cross the Ballachulish bridge you've gone wrong! If coming from the North you will pass over the Ballachulish bridge then come to the same roundabout. Take the left hand (Oban) exit. If you reach the village of Ballachulish again you've taken the wrong exit. If you are travelling from Oban you will see the bridge ahead of you and the hotel is right by the road.

What is the Ballachulish actually like?
The Ballachulish Hotel is a Highland hotel where we invite you to “make yourself at home”. As an 18th Century listed building, the hotel itself consists of a turreted baronial style old wing alongside a stylish new wing. At the heart of the Hotel you will find the lively and casual Bùlas Bar & Bistro, where days and nights pass easily alongside the log-fire that roars all year. The hotel has a friendly informality about it suited to those on holiday in the area. There is no dress code for the restaurant where people enjoy dressing up or down!
