The north end of Loch Etive is dominated by the view up Glen Etive to the twin mountains of Buachaille Etive Mor and, to its west, Buachaille Etive Beag. The north ends of these twin ridges dominate the upper parts of Glen Coe, but from the south they appear as twin cones.

Loch Etive is accessible by car via a 14 mile drive down scenic Glen Etive along a minor road that starts at the head of Glen Coe.

And binoculars should be an essential companion on a journey up Loch Etive. The seals that have hauled themselves out onto the rocks in the loch are easily visible. But it is often more difficult to spot the deer on the hillside, the golden eagles swooping over Beinn Trilleachan or the sea eagles now increasingly being seen here.

"I booked this place for one night on our journey across Scotland, and I don't regret it one bit. The view from the room was amazing. The room itself was pretty bare bones, but you don't need much else when you have all of Glencoe out your window. The restaurant was very good, as was breakfast. There is a grocery a few hundred meters away as well if you need to stock up on anything. Would absolutely stay here again. "
