Taymouth Marina
Taymouth Marina offers a variety of luxury lodges that sit on the banks of the beautiful Loch Tay in the Scottish Highlands. Stunning 1-bed and 2-bed apartments, 2-bed and 3-bed terraced townhouses, and even a 6-person lochside cottage are available, all fully equipped for self-catering holidays and many with added comforts like private hot tubs, balconies and terraces with glorious views. If you want to bring the dog along, many of the lodges are also pet-friendly for a small additional fee.
The main attraction here is, of course, the Loch itself, and you’ll find a range of amenities near your accommodation that let you make the most of it. The newly built marina hosts all kinds of boating activities, including a Watersports and Activity Centre that’ll get you out on the water without delay. And where better to relax after a day of excitement than the Hot Box, one of the UK’s biggest saunas, with incredible views across the Loch?
