Cour Lodge is situated in an idyllic private setting with the backdrop of the Grey Corries mountain range and yet only 2.5 miles from Spean Bridge. The village has a range of local
amenities including a shop, restaurant and excellent primary school. There is also a train station providing direct links to Fort William (12 minutes) and Glasgow (3 hours 30). The great joy, is the sleeper service to London Euston from the village, which leaves six evenings per week.
Fort William is 11 miles away and is the main district town of Lochaber, known as the “Outdoor Capital of the UK” with a more extensive range of facilities including supermarkets, secondary schooling, medical and dental facilities. Inverness Airport is 67 miles away providing a range of flights to a number of national and international destinations.

The Lochaber area is some of the most spectacular scenery in Scotland, and a fantastic base for exploring the peninsula with a great variety of outdoor activities available. The Nevis mountain range is only a short distance away, home to Ben Nevis (1,345 metres) the highest mountain in the UK, offering world class climbing, mountain biking and skiing. It plays host to the Downhill mountain biking world cup held in May each year.
During the summer months, between Fort William and Mallaig, you can board the Jacobite Steam Train, one of Scotland's most scenic journeys and famed from the Harry Potter Film series which includes crossing the Glenfinnan Viaduct. At Glenfinnan you can visit the monument and visitor centre on the site of the Glenfinnan Rising in 1745, where Bonnie Prince Charlie began his fight for the English Crown.
For the sailing enthusiast, the west coast is in easy reach, with Mallaig (50 miles) giving access to the Isles of Rhum, Eigg and Muck. Shooting, stalking and salmon fishing can be rented on nearby estates, including the neighbouring Killiechonate Estate. There is an abundance of wildlife in
walks around Cour Lodge including otters, pine martins, red and roe deer, golden eagles and also home to the rare chequered skipper butterfly.
