Holiday overview

New at HF Holidays

Our Members’ Breaks are ideal if you fancy a few days away at a great price. To keep the price as low as possible these breaks don’t include guided walks – during your stay you may wish to try one of our self-guided routes, explore the local area independently, maybe visit friends or family, or just relax and enjoy a good book in the comforts of our country house.

There’ll be an HF Holidays' leader in residence, to offer advice on local walks, and to organise activities in the evenings.

These holidays are offered at a specially discounted price – for Members only

Great reasons to join us

Great value: Members Breaks are offered at a specially discounted price for Members Only
Accommodation: all prices include Full Board en-suite accommodation, and a programme of evening activities
Sociability: as the breaks are Members only, this gives Members a great opportunity to meet and share stories

We are offering these new Members' Breaks at a selection of our Country Houses throughout the year. If any further dates are added these will be advertised in your Footnotes magazine.

Local area

Discover the Highlands

Alltshellach is situated beside the shores of Loch Leven. This is a spectacular location with magnificent views of the surrounding mountains.

About 2 miles away, across the loch is the village of Ballachulish. Here you’ll find a post office, food store and bank. A much wider range of facilities can be found in Fort William, about 14 miles to the north.

As the adventure capital of Britain, the Lochaber region is a popular destination for all outdoor enthusiasts. During your stay in Glen Coe you may enjoy visiting the following activities and places of interest:

Jacobite Steam Train
Ride the Jacobite steam train from Fort William to Mallaig. This stunningly scenic line includes the famous Glenfinnan viaduct, featured in the Harry Potter films. Steam trains run every day and early booking is reccomended. www.westcoastrailways.co.uk/jacobite

Isle of Mull
Reached by car ferry from Oban, or Lochaline, Mull is one of the most popular Scottish islands. You could visit the colourful harbour at Tobermory or the abbey on Iona. www.calmac.co.uk/mull

Isle of Lismore
The peaceful island of Lismore is ideal for a relaxed exploration. You can hire bikes at Port Appin, about 30 minutes' drive south of Alltshellach, then take the short ferry crossing to the island.

Oban
The bustling harbour town of Oban, about 45 minutes' drive south of Alltshellach, is a popular destination. There's always plenty of activity around the harbour and its well worth the walk up to McCaig's Tower, a remarkable folly built in the style of a Roman ampitheatre, with commanding views over the town.

Eilean Donan Castle
Nearly 80 miles drive north from Alltshellach is this romantic and much photographed Scottish lochside castle. Located on a small island just offshore, the castle is isolated by the sea at high tide, only accessible via a stone bridge. www.eileandonancastle.com

Ice Factor
Try your hand at ice climbing on the indoor wall at nearby Kinlochleven. www.ice-factor.co.uk
