The village is in a really beautiful place on the edge of a loch.
It has all of the amenities you could wish for- a well stocked shop, a takeaway and a lovely cozy cafe. We really enjoyed our day there.

Perfect location to explore Ardnamuchan.
Good wee shop. Fuel pumps are 10 miles away!
Local B & B do lovely meals if you book!
Nice friendly wee Village. Lovely sail up Loch Sween with running commentary of the history and sightings of Sea Eagles, Golden Eagles, Black Throated Divers and more! The sail ended at Kilfinnan with a service bus ride to Acharacle!
Perfect break and glorious weather for us🌞🤩

Acharacle is an ideal central location for exploring Moidart, Sunart and Ardnamurchan. There are plenty of short walks (up to 5km) within a 30-minute drive as well as more remote mountains, such as Ben Resipol. The driving distances aren't far but the roads are mostly single track so allow more time for courteous and careful driving. There are plenty of Forestry Commission car parks for wildlife hides and nature walks. There are fewer signposted mid-range walks (10-15km) but they do include the superb Silver Walk along the shores of Loch Moidart (starting from Tioram Castle) and the walks around Kentra Bay. The Ardnamurchan peninsula is stunning! The lighthouse guide is incredibly interesting and well-informed and Sanna Bay is beautiful. There's a nice walk there from Portuarik. There are boat trips on Loch Sunart and Loch Shiel. Acharacle is approx. 1 hour drive from Mallaig (ferry terminal) if you also want to visit the small islands (Eigg, Muck, Rum and Canna). It's a great base if you enjoy the outdoors and want to get away from the crowds.

Coille Darach is a first class B&B situated near Strontian in the Ariundle Forest. The house was new, immaculate and comfortable, the breakfasts excellent. Mary and her husband John were friendly, kind and helpful, we really enjoyed our all-too-short stay. The whole of the Ardnamurchan peninsula is wild, beautiful and very interesting geologically. Acharacle village is a few miles from Coille Darach, a pleasant place at the end of Loch Shiel (on which are boat trips) with sandy bays nearish at Kentra Bay and Ardtoe. Also near is Castle Tioram. Cafe Tioram at the end of the village provided a good light meal. Nearly all the roads (and there are very few) are single track so need care and courtesy, but are all part of the delight of the area.

This makes a superb base to explore the stunning Ardnamurchan Peninsula, especially trips to the lighthouse ( = furthest westerly tip of mainland UK), Mallaig and Glenfinnan Viaduct.
I would like to have stayed longer, so I could use the short ferry to the island of Islay.
The road to the lighthouse is a bit like being on the big dipper as it winds through the breathtaking countryside.
There was v little traffic when we went in late May - so it was an utter delight - but this would be v unpleasant, arduous and even dangerous if it was v busy.
The lighthouse itself is a superb attraction with an extraordinarily well stocked cafe considering the barren, remote location.
Mallaig is quite a nice town, and excellent for sea food, which, as a vegetarian was not for me, alas!
There's also Glenfinnan Viaduct which is certainly spectacular. There are also the beautiful and unspoilt golden sand beaches of Arkaig.
There are other attractions too, all wrapped up in the most glorious scenery and welcoming Scottish hospitality.
But think on:
Scotland is practically litter free, of which the Scottish and visitors can be truly proud.
KEEP IT THAT WAY OR STAY AWAY!

The village is in a very pretty area and within easy reach of beaches, a castle, and pleasant country walks.
Can recommend Ardnamurchan generally but remember WiFi signal is very patchy and it rains a lot! Also you definitely have to know how to drive safely on very small single track roads. Not for the faint hearted!
The location in beautiful and quiet Acharacle was ideal. Our hosts were warm and welcoming and made sure we had the right parking space. The breakfast was made to order and they were flexible with some changes we requested. Delicious! We loved the little chats with the hosts after breakfast and their dogs added to the charm (though they were in the garden and we didn't go into the garden). They even booked us for dinner at the neighbouring pub on the evening we were checking in. Overall, a lovely stay, thank you!
This luxury pod is superb in every way. It was perfect for one and would be excellent for a couple - similar to staying in a roomy boat or caravan. Despite being just off the main road, it was wonderfully quiet and dark. There are good places to eat in Mingarry and Acharacle. There is also a well-stocked shop in the latter. It provided the perfect base to explore Ardnamurchan - an hour to the lighthouse through spectacular scenery. Getting there is much easier, now the Corran Ferry has reopened for cars.
The hotel is quite remote and in a beautiful location. There is a small store directly opposite and some lovely country walks all around. The scenery is breathtaking. Breakfast has good choices and is tasty. The evening meal is extra but the chef is good. Other options are a fair distance away. The room was comfortable, and the shower was good. The staff were generally good and helpful. It is not overly expensive either.
The location was in lovely Acharacle, what's not to like! The room was large, airy, spotless with a very comfy bed and sofa, beautiful views from the front and back windows and a magnificent shower in the en suite. Breakfast was splendid and Liz and Innes the most welcoming and kindly hosts. Little Effie was a bonus as was the Welsh flag flying on a pole outside for us, along with a German one for the other guests!
Loch Shiel hotel was a lovely place to spend one night on our trip. We had dinner in the hotel and the food was excellent, as was the breakfast. However, what really made our stay were the lovely staff - so friendly and helpful, nothing was too much trouble. Thank you so much Joy and all of the team.
The location is ideal - right in the centre of the village of Acharacle, next to the store. The caravan was clean, decently-equipped and good value for money. Off-road parking.
The Cafe Tioram, a couple of minutes' walk along the road, is a great place for breakfast or lunch.
It's peaceful and surrounded by nature, the space was ample, the room was relaxing and Mary is a great host (and cook)!
Please be advised that this place isn't a busy location. There's two small shops and a hotel/bar, so make sure you plan ahead with buying groceries!
The location was ideal for our road trip around Scotland. The staff were welcoming, friendly and helpful we enjoyed the singing chef(a very happy chap). Great value and popular with locals and passing visitors to the area. Breakfast was included and really tasty.
What was there not to like? Warm, friendly welcoming hosts, fantastic comfy spacious spotless accomodation, beautiful location, scrumptious breakfast. I would be amazed if anyone could find a better place to stay in Acharacle, or anywhere for that matter.
Breakfast and dinner was well worth the cost and was delicious. The room was clean, comfortable and beautiful. The staff was friendly and helpful. The property was equipped with comforts, plenty of seating in public areas and a well stocked bar.
Lovely spacious, modern house. Had everything you could need. Stunning view, great location. The bed was so comfy, loved everything about it. Just a few minutes walk from local shop and hotel.
It’s a lovely small hotel. The owners and the staff were friendly and very helpful. The food was exceptional. We loved it in Mingarry Park and will be definitely going back.
Such a lovely location to explore the area. We spent time in Kilchoan area and Sunna beach area. Lovely and peaceful! Silver Way is nearby for more beautiful walking.
