'Out of Town' heads to Loch Awe and the Portsonachan Hotel.
The loch is the third largest freshwater loch in Scotland by surfacing area, and the longest in length measuring 25 miles.
It has been a favoured spot for anglers and trout and salmon fishing for many years.
In recent times, water sports have taken off in its more sheltered quarters and inlets. Paddle boarding is a thing in the warmer months of the year.
We stayed on the southern shores of Loch Awe courtesy of Portsonachan Hotel.
The family-run hotel has a range of accommodation, from en-suite rooms in the main hotel, to converted coach houses and loch-side suites.
We stayed in one of the hotel’s timber lodges hidden within private woodland and overlooking the loch.
Lodges have hot tubs and larger cabins have saunas. The hotel is totally dog friendly.
