Hidden in the historic pass of brander at the foot of Ben Cruachan between Loch Awe & Loch Etive the Brander Lodge Hotel & Bistro is a family run hotel that thrives on its homely and relaxed atmosphere,

Set back from the road in 3 Acres of ground you really can relax and enjoy yourself. Once inside you will be welcomed with a warm smile and instantly made to feel like one of the family, whether y

ou’re on business or pleasure , on your own or in a group nothing is too much trouble at The Brander Lodge. There are areas to suit all when staying at the Brander including our popular and busy bistro with its Eat Scotland award, the comfy lounge with wood burning stove for those cold winter nights the relaxed bar with a huge choice of malts and local ales there's also 31/2 acres of gardens to explore in the day or on a clear night look up see every star in the sky. The Hotel is a refurbishment work in progress and by December 2015 will be the Focal Destination for the area for Weddings, Conferences, Family Gatherings, Car & Bike Rallies etc. We are only 12 miles from Oban the gateway to the Western Isles where white sand beaches meet aqua blue waters when the weather is right, one could say the Med or South Pacific of the North Atlantic, anyway, stunning to say the least with and abundance of wild life, bird life and aquatic life second to none.

Following a recent social media post we would like to note that we made the decision not to open for lunch this year.

For a number of reasons but so that there would be a good work life balance for the team and their families.

Were glad for the continued support for weddings, evening meals, drinks and accommodation

Thank you
Team Brander

Local boy did well!

Merry Christmas from All the Team 🎅🏼🥰
