Leac Na Ban is a great place for naturalists. If you are lucky you might see pine marten, red squirrel, stoats or weasels, even a badger in the gloaming. Some summer evenings a herd of red deer graze across the pasture (and come to eat our garden plants!) while sika and roe deer can often be glimpsed in the woods.

Ornithologists will enjoy our range of bird life: siskins, cuckoos, ravens, buzzards, owls, finches, snipe, skylark, swallows, martins, and herons, to name just a few. Ospreys nest not far away, and on occasion we have been visited by black cock, green woodpeckers and, once, a golden eagle. Slow worms and lizards bask on the drystone dykes, while toads and frogs lurk in the damperies.

This is a wonderful place to relax, to paint, or write, or just to do some of the local trails. Walk down the ancient drove road through our farmland, and on through the woodland to the little church at Bellanoch, or for a longer trek, over the hill to Crinan Harbour. You will be free to explore our interesting ancient sites, and if you are so inclined, in season you might help us hand turn and bring in the hay!

We also run arts, crafts and theatre workshops; while you are on holiday you might like to learn about rush seating or props making, and there are always examples of local artists' crafts for sale, as souvenirs of your visit.

Leac Na Ban is ideally situated for exploring Argyll, with ready access via the A819 both north and south, from Fort William to Campbeltown.
Within comfortable driving distance can be found several castles, gardens, churches, prehistoric and early-industrial sites, and nature trails.

We have a large selection of books and leaflets to help you plan your days and get the most out of your holiday.
