Travel Information
Portnellan is located in the Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park, amidst the magical part of the Central Highlands people think of as 'real' Scotland. The picture books, the vivid memory of ex-pats, the immediate response of the first-time visitor... it is all here, all year round.
The careful placement of each lodge ensures you will always have a view from your front door. However you have not given up everything to the wild and woolly Highlands - our central location means everything you could want to visit is within reasonable travelling distance.
