Walkers retreat is located on the beautiful island of Kerrera. The island is situated only 650m away from the mainland so is easily accessible by a short 5-minute ferry journey. The ferry service operates from a slip at Gallanach Road, about 2 miles outside of Oban. Check out the Calmac website for the timetable. In summer they run a very regular service every half hour, slightly less so in winter. The last scheduled ferry is 6pm. YOU CANNOT DRIVE YOUR CAR TO THE ISLAND. THIS IS ISLAND POLICY. All guests must park at the Kerrera ferry slipway at Gallanach (its free to park). Once you arrive on Kerrera, we can come and pick you up in our island vehicle and take you and your luggage to the pod. If you would like to walk we will just pick up your luggage and drop it at the pod for you. Walking from the slip to the pod is a short 20 minute walk along the beautiful coast road and through our community woodland. The pod is perfect for anyone who loves remoteness and extraordinary scenery. Spend your days walking, cycling, wild swimming, kayaking, paddle boarding, fishing, bird watching or simply chilling. The islands natural beauty and abundant wildlife make it a very popular tourist attraction. Once you are on the island it feels like you are a million miles away from the hustle and bustle of the mainland. The island is popular through the day with visitors visiting the beautiful ruined Gylen castle on the rugged southern coast and immersing themselves in the amazing wildlife. If your lucky you might spot our resident sea otter in the bay and the seals that have their colony a few hundred metres south of the bay. There is Tea garden at the south end of the island near Gylen Castle, a marina at the north end with a restaurant and bar, and then 2 small farm shops which sell their own meat & eggs. The busy holiday town of Oban is only a short 5 minute ferry ride away with its excellent seafood restaurants, shops and leisure centre.
