Travel

By Air:

Edinburgh or Glasgow both have airports that serve international and domestic flights. Glasgow is the closest airport, but Edinburgh may offer more flight options.

Glasgow Airport: 100 miles (about 2.5 hour drive)
Edinburgh Airport: 129 miles (about 3.5 hour drive)

If you are flying internationally, you may find the best options fly to/transit through London Heathrow.

By Road:

Our postcode is PA34 4XA for satellite navigation purposes. However, please note if your Sat Nav is set to quickest route, it may take you down the side of Loch Awe on 26 miles of single track road which therefore does not make it the quickest route.
We are just over 2.5 hours from Glasgow. For a direct route, follow the M8 West to junction 30, then north on the A82 towards Tarbet. At Tarbet take the A83 and follow the signs for Inveraray and Lochgilphead. At Lochgilphead, take the Oban road (A816). The Ceremony and the Reception are both in the village of Kilmelford, 22 miles North of Lochgilphead.

From Edinburgh, head North-West to Stirling on the M9 to junction 10. Continue on the A84 to Tyndrum and Oban on the A85. In Oban take the A816. Kilmelford village is 16 miles south of Oban on the A816.

By Rail:

Oban Train Station is 16 miles or a 30 minute drive away. Taxis are usually available at the station (fare £40.00 approximately each way).

By Coach/Bus:

Oban is served by West Coast Motors and Scottish Citylink coaches which arrive in Oban or Lochgilphead, 16 or 22 miles away respectively. Local buses are also available but very infrequent, especially over the holiday period. The nearest bus stop is at the Kilmelford Bus stop or there can be a request stop at the Degnish Road End – please tell the Bus Driver you wish to get off here or hold out your hand if wanting to get on.

As we are based rurally, you may want to stock up on any supplies before your arrival in the area, especially as it is over the holiday period.

Tesco offers a delivery service to the area, which we would highly recommend.

There is a Tesco, Lidl, a small M&S in Oban (16 miles north) or a Co-Op in Lochgilphead (22 miles south). You are likely to pass through one of these towns on your way to Kilmelford.

There is a small village store in Kilmelford, as well as in other local villages, Croabh Haven and Ardfern.

Please remember that you can only buy alcohol in Scotland between 10am and 10pm.
