Craig is located on the west side of Loch Etive, and is two miles from a public road. It is accessible by vehicle (with high clearance), by sea, bike or on foot. There is parking available right outside the cottage at Craig.
Access by land
The forestry track up to Craig is currently in good condition. It was re-laid (May 2019) prior to the building of hydro scheme up at Barrs. Most vehicles will be able to access the cottage without problems, but avoid any that are very low. Craig lies two miles up the track from Bonawe Quarry and we normally allow 20 minutes to drive from the quarry to the cottage. There are still the occasional pothole and bump in the track. The quarry can also be a bit bumpy in places. Subsequently the best advice is drive slowly and with care. Extreme weather may also affect the surface. However, if you have any concerns then please get in touch.
Access by sea
The cottage is close to the loch side so access by water is possible, but only if you know what you are doing! Loch Etive is a sea loch, and there are a number of points along its shore from which you can launch a boat or kayak. Boat hire is available from TFC boats at Taynuilt.
Due to the nature of the loch and the high mountains around it, there can be squalls and unpredictable wind conditions. We strongly advise that you only bring a boat or other craft if you are experienced in similar conditions and locations.
