The Morar Hotel

Secluded in the highlands in North West Scotland, yet easily accessible due to its coastal location on the Southern Gateway to the Isle of Skye, only 3 miles from Mallaig, the family-run The Morar Hotel has been offering cosy accommodation and views of the untamed surroundings for the outdoorsy types and leisure-minded guests alike for over a century.

Travellers are invited to well-appointed rooms with en suite facilities, individually decorated and upgraded to standard contemporary comfort with TV, phone and hospitality tray. Some rooms come with sea view.

The hotel’s restaurant uses the freshest locally sourced produce to craft dishes to order, with fish specialties being top of the menu. Guests can also unwind at the bar lounge with a glass of wine from the extensive list.

Located across the road from the hotel, the Morar Rail Station provides easy access to the surroundings, but guests can also opt for a walking tour or get on the saddle to search out the territory by bike.

Groupon’s Guide to the Scottish Highlands

Guests may go rambling around lakes and hillsides, or trek the known routes in Beinn Eighe nature reserve, near Kinlochewe. Walking aside, many fishing areas and golf courses are dotted around the area for more conventional activities.

Visitors may explore the great outdoors, taking to Loch Linnhe with a boat ride out to Seal Island for a nature-spotting trip. They may keep eyes peeled for herons and seals, with the odd porpoise known to sometimes make an appearance. Travellers may head north toward Fort William and find throat-warming ventures in the Ben Nevis Distillery at Lochybridge. Further afield, potentially snowy peaks can be sought on Glencoe Mountain, and visitors may even get a whizz on the ski slopes.
