Hotels in Arisaig

Hotels in Arisaig are few in number but strong on setting, with most properties built to make the most of views across the Sound of Arisaig to Eigg, Rum and Skye. The Arisaig Hotel, right on the harbour, has been the social hub of the village for generations, pairing comfortable rooms with its own Crofters Bar. A short walk away, the Old Library Lodge combines a well-regarded restaurant with a small number of letting rooms overlooking Loch nan Ceall, making it a popular choice for visitors who want to eat well without travelling far. Beyond the village itself, a scatter of guesthouses, crofthouse B&Bs and self-catering cottages occupy the coastline between Arisaig and Mallaig, many with direct access to beaches such as Camusdarach and the Silver Sands of Morar. Given how compact Arisaig is, rooms with sea views are in particularly high demand through the summer months and around the Jacobite Steam Train season, so early booking is worthwhile. Staying in the village itself means everything — the harbour, the museum, the railway station and the coast path — is within easy walking distance, while those wanting more space or privacy will find a wider choice of cottages and rural B&Bs a short drive along the coast towards Morar and Mallaig, still within easy reach of Arisaig's beaches and boat trips.
