General Information

Moyvegan House is a high quality bed and breakfast with two en-suite rooms, a family room with a king size bed and a single bed or (the king size bed is linked and the room can transform into three single beds). All rooms are double glazed and well insulated. Heating is by electric panel heaters. 

Outside is a large garden containing fruit trees and a lawned area. If you wish to sit outside during those long hot summer days  there are loungers available for guests.  Should you wish to eat outside, there is also a table with benches at the bottom of the garden overlooking Loch Duich. 

The  driveway is tarmac and there is parking for many cars. Outside lights are placed around the building to light the way in winter months.

The Scott of the Antarctic connection...

At the bottom of the garden are two headstones belonging to Husky dogs named Toni & Polar Bru. Polar Bru's headstone has the text "descended from one of Captain Scott's antartic dogs" inscribed on it. All we know is that Scott did some of his training in the area during the winter months and we are led to believe that the local estate at that time was owned by the Robinson or Robins family, who either knew or helped Scott in some way. When he left the area, some of the dogs were left behind and we have two of their graves in the garden.

If anyone has more information or photos we would be delighted to hear from them.
