Glenelg may sound remote to some but The Lodge has everything you need for a relaxing holiday, right on its doorstep. Just a few hundred yards away is the renowned Glenelg Inn serving everything from coffees to lunches and evening meals. The menu features locally sourced fish, shellfish, meats and game and the well stocked wine cellar and good selection of malts are all dished up with an abundance
of friendly hospitality. Music is also a feature at the Inn with anything from individual acts to ceilidh bands. Impromptu music sessions can happen any night of the week which all adds to the character of this historic Inn and ending the evening with a full stomach, a slightly dizzy head and live music ringing in your ears. It's just one minute further to walk to the Glenelg Village Shop and Post Office which stocks milk, bread and fresh rolls, daily newspapers, fruit and veg, chilled and frozen meats and everything else you may require for your holiday in Glenelg. It is also licensed so no excuse to run dry! The fish van comes on Thursday just after 9.30am and is recommended. The RBS mobile Bank visits on Thursday (check with us for times).
3.5 miles past The Lodge is the track that takes you down to Coral Beach, Sandaig - the perfect picnic lunch spot.
3.0 miles along the coast road from The Lodge is the Glenelg Ferry that operates from Glenelg to Kylerhea on the Isle of Skye. The Glenachulish is now owned by a community interest company (CIC) and is the last operating manual turntable ferry in the world. The ferry runs from Easter until the middle of October. The car ferry is a huge tourist attraction taking passengers "over the sea to Skye". You can also go across as passengers to visit the Kylerhea Otter Hide which is about a 1 mile walk from the Kylerhea landing slip. Regular sightings include otters, seals, pods of dolphins and other wildlife. A 2.5 mile walk (or drive) from The Lodge up the single track road leading through Glen Beag takes you to the Brochs of Dun Telve and a further half mile up the Glen, Dun Troddan. Over 2 thousand years old, these are considered the two best preserved Iron Age Brochs on the Scottish mainland.
