Drinks  

All our Country Houses have a well-stocked bar serving beer, wine and spirits.

Guided Walking

Enjoy a drink in the Highland bar before hearing about the next day's walks. After dinner there will be an activity or entertainment which you will be welcome to join. These vary from week to week but could include a talk from a representative of the National Trust for Scotland or the John Muir Trust.  You could relax in our lounges, have a whisky from the well-stocked bar, or you may even be entertained by a Scottish piper.

Leisure Activities

Many of our Leisure Activities holidays continue into the evening with programmed sessions.  Other holidays will have the evenings free, and you will be welcome to join in any social activities that may be happening in the house.

Family holidays

On Guided Walking for Families the evening activities will be geared towards children of all ages. 

Unmissable Britain

We offer a range of evening options focusing on the local area, including a meal in Oban and a talk about the area.  On other evenings, you could chat with the other guests and leaders in the bar, or perhaps venture further afield to local favourite, the Clachaig Inn. 

Freedom Breaks

There may be evening social activities happening in the house during your holiday, and you will be most welcome to join in.  However, not all Freedom Breaks will have evening activities available – if these are important to you, please check before booking.

Guided trails

Depending on your travel dates, there may be activities on offer in the house in the evening which you are welcome to take part in.
