Pine Martin in Ardnamurchan (1 Viewer)

[hampers]

A couple of years ago myself and a couple of mates stayed at a really good B&B which had pine martin visiting as night. The lady proprietor, Sally, was talking of selling up and moving to New Zealand in the none to distant future. As I can no longer find any reference to the B&B I can only assume she has made the move and good luck to her. This was in May 2015. Has anyone stayed more recently in a B&B in the Ardnamurchan area that has pine martin visiting? Whilst have some great images from the last trip I'd really like another go at them. Any help greatly appreciated.

Many thanks, Phil

A photographer friend of mine stayed here (don't think she's on BF) & had Pine Marten in the grounds.

Yes, we had such a chalet last year, and have booked again for this year. Will come back later with details

Thank you but that is self catering, only wanted a couple of nights hence B&B.

And I'd think not wise to attract Pine Materns to a self-catering place, the next people renting after you might be gamekeepers with a bag of poison. A B&B owner would have control over what they get fed.

Not quite on Ardnamurchan itselt, but not far from the route there, Glenloy Lodge has martens on the conservatory windowsill most evenings and you can stay there B&B when they are not running dedicated wildlife holidays. See: http://glenloywildlife.co.uk/holiday/pine-marten-break/

Very much recommended - we've stayed three times with a great evening show from the martens each time.

Nick

P.S. - you can also just pay to sit in the conservatory in the evening and watch the martens, without using the accommodation, but if you need somewhere to stay, then you might as well stay there anyway.

That cottage looks amazing.

There are already a number of self catering places that say and use the fact they have pine martins.

I only want a couple of nights so of no use to me anyway.

Sandra, I should have said for this planned trip. Its another location I want to do longer at, one day, so thank you very much. I need the perfect pine martin image!

One doesn't have to 'attract' them to this place - they'll have been there longer than the chalets!

If your visiting date is between 23rd-29th September do get in touch with me again and you can visit and get your perfect image. They come to the decking in front of the chalet during daylight hours.

Sandra, thank you. Haven't finalised any dates yet though. Certainly on in 2018 though.
