Lotta Dubh is a modern, family run Bed & Breakfast in Ardaneaskan,
6 miles from Lochcarron. Set in a rural crofting township on the North
shore of Loch Carron, we have sea views from all sides.
Otters, deer and eagles are all in the area, but sightings are not guaranteed. Seal trips from Plockton (on the other shore) do however guarantee sightings of seals, or you get your money back.
At a latitude of 57 degrees North the long daylight hours in summer mean you can fit a lot of touring into each day.
